El Presidente Reviews
In a town where the options are sparse,A Mexican joint has made its mark.Though authenticity might miss its arc,The flavors, they say, could be far worse,And in décor, it's the universe.A tropical paradise, so they claim,With decorations that kindle a flame.It's not just about a culinary race,But about creating a vibrant space,Where dining feels like a festive game.
Awesome atmosphere. We were seated in the room behind the bar area. Not as loud as the rest of the restaurant. Intimate seating along the sides. Food and service were excellent. We started with nachos. Almost like a Mexican pizza. Shrimp tacos, street corn, chicken tacos, and tortilla soup were all great. Plus a pitcher of very good margaritas.
