Great portions and a fun atmosphere. Chips and salsa to start is nice. Huge menu with lots of options. Chimichanga was good. Wife got the special sampler. All the food was yum. We also got the queso with chorizo, and a friend got the queso with steak. Good value and quick service.

Such a warm and cozy restaurant. Food was fantastic, but service was very lacking. We needed refills on drinks and additional items but our server was no where to be found until the end of our dinner. Tables were also very close together. Would order to go in a heartbeat.

Glorious birria! Wonderful staff! Great portions. Beautiful atmosphere! A little pricey, but their Tuesday deals are great! I've been to over 30 taco restaurants/food trucks in gr in the last year since I've moved here, and El Centenario is the best, hands down. Their hot sauce is amazing! I hear angels singing whenever I come here. 😁. My family loves it so much!
