On my most recent food review, I decided to explore more of Lodi’s vast culture.  This time, I indulged into the Mexican cuisine by venturing to El Norte.  The restaurant does an incredible job of capturing the culture it represents.  Many entertaining acts are displayed throughout the week such as a professional harp player, mariachi bands, and action-packed soccer games on TV.  Customers can watch an array of different forms of entertainment while enjoying their meal.  Also, the staff was very welcoming and respectful.  While, the food was satisfying, it didn’t appeal to my personal preference.  Overall, I would recommend El Norte to someone who wants to have an enjoyable experience at a restaurant and one who enjoys Mexican cuisine.
