El Centro

The veggie chilaquiles are super delicious! The atmosphere is always fun and the servers are great.

If you’re looking for some delicious Mexican food and great cocktails in a lively and fun atmosphere, El Centro is the place for you. They’re quick, efficient and consistently delicious. My personal favorites are the chicken nachos and their margaritas (some of the best in the neighborhood IMHO), but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu and everything is reasonably priced. They’ve been a staple in the neighborhood for some time now and with good reason.

Yes, they have great Mexican classics, but I just want to say, Margaritas. I’ll say it again. MARGARITAS.

El Centro's margarita is a fave! The Altos Reposado with fresh squeezed lime juice & agave syrup (clocking in at a generous 16 oz. — woot woot) is perfect to enjoy with their chips and guac!

It's been my go to throughout school with friends after class even before the pandemic. Great vibes, strong margs.

They’re consistently on point and not bitter or sweet like other restaurants. They’re just perfect and reasonably priced
