    Great spot, would recommend dinning later if you prefer to dine without children. Seems to have become a family spot, with noisy children. Food is amazing as is the service.

    To be honest I was a little disappointed when we had lunch today. The food was fine but the service was kind of rushed. Our server didn’t seem too happy whenever he served us. I’ve noticed this the last few times we’ve visited and a little sad about that. My partner has celiac disease and this is one of the few restaurants in the city she can eat at. It’s a shame our last few experiences have been like this but it had to be said.

    The food is always exceptional, and the service was great. It’s always packed — but it adds to the vibe! Olivia went out of her way to accommodate us with a service dog in training… Can’t recommend enough…

    Amazing food and drinks! The Drinks were delicious fresh and unique… the food was packed with flavor and high quality ingredients very fresh and delicious. Service was poor our waitress seemed bothered when we asked for water and overwhelmed by the amount of people she was waiting on, definitely put a damper on our experience although the food made up for it!

    El Pocho is one of our absolute favourite places in the city and it never disappoints. We had never had the fixed menu before because we usually come with a smaller group but it was just as amazing as always! The food was paced well, there was a lot of it for the price, and we were pleasantly full at the end of the meal. Would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone (and we always do, because we love it dearly).
