" I visited Cocina Azul last weekend with friends and really enjoyed the food. The chicken enchiladas were flavorful, and the salsa was a perfect mix of spicy and tangy. However, the service was a bit slow, which affected the overall experience. Still, I'm planning to return soon to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely experience overall! Although the service faltered slightly towards the end, the delicious food and cozy environment made up for it. The tacos had amazing flavor and my friends and I shared the queso, which was definitely the highlight. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was pretty good, but I feel like I could find better options elsewhere. The ambiance is nice and the staff is friendly, but the dishes I tried didn't stand out as authentic Mexican cuisine. Just average for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food! The tacos were fantastic, overflowing with toppings. The service was friendly, though a bit slow at times. It's worth checking out! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had been looking forward to trying this restaurant based on recommendations. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver. The red chile was way too spicy without much depth. The service was adequate. I'll look for other places next time. " (*Curated Review*)
