" I visited Calle 21 on a quiet afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty my meal was. I ordered the breakfast burrito, which was filled to the brim with eggs and chorizo. It was a little spicy, which I loved! The staff was friendly, but I did notice that the service could have been a bit faster. All in all, it was a delightful experience and I’ll definitely recommend it to friends looking for authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The last few visits to Calle 21 have been a mixed bag. While the atmosphere is usually bustling with fun decorations, my last meal disappointment overshadowed it. I ordered the enchiladas, which were decent but a bit bland compared to what I expected. My friends ordered different items, and they seemed to enjoy them. Service was friendly but a bit slow during peak hours. But the margaritas are definitely worth coming back for! " (*Curated Review*)

" Calle 21 is where I go whenever I crave authentic Mexican food! The flavor profiles are on point, and everything I've tried has been fantastic. Their happy hour deal, two tacos and a margarita for $13, is unbeatable! The service is always top-notch, and the staff is super friendly. Some days can get busy, but the food is definitely worth the wait. I highly recommend trying their spicy margaritas; they're the best I've ever had! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved Calle 21! The salsa bar really adds a personal touch to the dining experience. I tried the machaca burrito and it blew my mind; so flavorful and large! My partner enjoyed shrimp tacos and said they were the best he’s ever had. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was a fun mix of casual and lively. Cannot recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food at a great price, Calle 21 is the place for you! The flavors capture the essence of traditional dishes, and I was particularly impressed with the mole sauce. Service was friendly and helpful, making sure we were happy with our meals. I liked having many veggie options, and even the non-veggie options were good portions. I will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Calle 21 and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! The vibes are great and the food is superb. I ordered the chicken fajitas and they were well-seasoned and served with lots of fresh veggies. The only downside was the wait for a table, as it was quite busy. However, once we were seated, the staff was attentive and helpful. I will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Packed full of locals, Calle 21 is a gem! The ambiance is buzzing, especially on Taco Tuesdays with their amazing specials. I had the carne asada tacos, and they were wow! Tender, juicy, and authentic flavors. The margaritas were just as good. Our server was super sweet and attentive. Sure, it can get a bit loud, but that’s the charm of this place. Will be coming back often! " (*Curated Review*)
