" My friends and I went to Calle 21 last Friday night, and it was a blast! The atmosphere was lively, and the outdoor seating felt perfect for the warm evening. The tacos were delicious; I especially loved the al pastor. However, the wait for our drinks was a bit longer than I'd hoped. Nonetheless, the staff remained attentive, and it was a great experience overall. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a long wait, but it was worth it! The space has a funky vibe that I enjoyed while I waited. Ordered the fish tacos which were fresh and light with a nice sauce. Staff was accommodating. However, it took some time to get our food out. I would come back again for sure, especially for their margaritas. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who enjoys trying different Mexican restaurants, Calle 21 really impressed me with how authentic their dishes tasted. The salsa is fresh, and they had ample vegetarian options too. The staff made sure we were comfortable, and everything we ordered came out deliciously flavorful. Definitely on my list to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Calle 21 is fantastic! The chorizo breakfast burrito was life-changing, with generous fillings and perfect seasoning. The atmosphere is casual, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. The staff seemed stretched thin during my visit but still managed to provide a pleasant experience. I appreciate that they have options for vegetarians too. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to Calle 21, I was initially excited about their reputation for authenticity. However, I found the tacos to be good but not spectacular. The service was prompt but somewhat lacking in warmth, which affected my overall dining experience. The ambiance was cozy but I expected a bit more flair. It wasn't bad, but I might not rush back. " (*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*)
