**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag Experience** At this bustling eatery, opinions on the culinary offerings are decidedly mixed. While numerous patrons laud the friendly service and inviting atmosphere, the quality of the food has drawn criticism. Some diners reported overcooked dishes and misunderstandings with orders, notably with steaks that were too dry or misprepared. Conversely, many guests celebrated their meals, praising the diverse menu and consistently excellent service, highlighting dishes like the ribeye steak and cheese dip. Overall, while many leave satisfied, the restaurant clearly faces challenges that could affect future visits. Diners are advised to temper expectations or venture elsewhere for authentic flavors.

Was Anonym at El Real Mexican Grill a mag?
Our server Ivan was fantastic! Very attentive and friendly without being bothersome. Made recommendations and interacted with everyone at our table. Kudos to you! We've been several times and the food has always been scrumptious. Good every time! Wife orders the molcajete and swears by it. I had the Steak Real which was also delicious. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be back, again! View all feedback.

Our server, Ivan, was fantastic! He was very attentive and friendly, but not intrusive. He made great recommendations and interacted with everyone at our table. Thank you, Ivan! We have been here several times and it has always been consistently excellent. The woman who commands the molcajete is amazing. I had the ribeye steak, which was also delicious. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back!

This was my first visit to the restaurant, as we had just moved in across the street. It was quite busy during lunchtime, but we quickly understood why. The server was fantastic, the food tasted delicious, the atmosphere was stylish with interesting artwork, and the prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

This was my first time visiting the restaurant, since we just moved to the area. It was rather packed for lunch, and we saw why once we sat down. The server was great, the food tasted really good, the atmosphere was neat with lots of cool art and the cost was reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody!
