4.9 tbh, lighting was strange and bathroom door is in the middle of the dining room but the food was absolutely delicious and the staff was super sweet and friendly we will definitely return. I can't wait to see what their famous patio is like in the summer

The server was nice but quite slow. We were the only patrons, and it was very dark in most of the restaurant. The food was fine, but nothing incredibly special. Charged for the chips and salsa.

When they say authentic they MEAN authentic. Get home style Mexican food like your Tia would make.Vegetarian options: Many dishes had non-meat options

El Norteño is a humble mom & pop Mexican restaurant serving up hearty Mexican classics. True to its name, the restaurant specializes in northern Mexican cuisine, which, while not as vibrant or spicy as some other categories of Mexican food, is certainly comforting. We had the norteño burrito and the asada tacos on corn tortillas. Both were delicious and satisfying. What further pushes this restaurant to five stars for me is the lovely lady who seemed to be running the shop single-handedly on the night we were there. I made a comment to her about the abundance of thriving potted plants inside the restaurant, and she proudly led us to the patio around back to show us her beautiful garden as well. It was a little late in the year for us to eat outside comfortably, so I'll have to make sure to come back next spring to fully enjoy her patio (and her food again, too!).

Was very excited to eat here but unfortunately they were so brutally understaffed (1 server on a Saturday night) that we were never even greeted. We left after waiting an hour.

He food was good and service was very good. A month ago the patio was lovely. I recommend this restaurant to anyone that likes authentic Mexican food.

Nice little locally owned place, fresh food. Service was pleasant, just a little delayed.Vegetarian options: Not an extensive vegetarian menu, but thier vegetarian burrito was very good and flavorful
When you first walk in, it feels like Covid is still going on! Looks like it’s pickup only. No seating in the restaurant (late august 2023)But there is a wonderfully cute back patio. So many beautiful plants and flowers. Lights come on later in the evening.Very small menu, no liquor. (Think margaritas, though she said they have wine margaritas)One round of chips was all we got, and I think because we ordered guacamole? Not sure you get the standard free chips.I really enjoyed the mole, though I’d have enjoyed a larger size for my appetite!Only bummer was service was slow, but I believe she was working the floor all by herself. So can’t complain

Wonderful patio area makes you feel like you're not even close to the busy streets. Great guac, carnitas, taco salad, and enchiladas. No tequila or hard liquor but simple selection of beer.

Delicious food, the loveliest patio space, and wonderful women who run it. It was like stepping into my grandma’s kitchen, only mexican and not swedish. We will be back.Vegetarian options: My partner is a vegetarian and is often limited when we go out. No limits here! All dishes were accessible for both of us.
