" I will start with the positives: the chips and guacamole were fantastic! Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. I ordered the quesadilla, and it was far too crisp—basically just a dry tortilla with a sprinkle of cheese. When I raised this with the staff, I was met with indifference, which was disappointing. The decor is cute, and I liked the setup, but I won’t be eager to return based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become a favorite of mine! Their carne asada fries were absolutely mouth-watering, and the guacamole paired perfectly with the chips. I really enjoyed the ambiance too—very cozy and inviting! I've gone several times, and it's always busy, which speaks volumes about the quality of the food they serve. I even love that they offer vegan options, which is rare for a Mexican place! Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great find! I stumbled upon this place while exploring and decided to try the fish taco and chips. The flavors were bold, and the food felt fresh. I also appreciated the positive vibes of the staff. The interior is a bit cramped, but that just adds to the charm. Definitely coming back for their burritos next! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love DORADO! Their food is on point, especially the carne asada tacos. They taste just like home! The staff is friendly, and even during the rush, they keep everything running smoothly. The only downside is that the indoor space is tiny, and there have been occasions when I’ve had to wait for a table. Still worth it, though! A staple in my eating out routine! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much buzz about this spot, I was eager to try it but left with mixed feelings. While the fish tacos live up to the hype, the service was definitely lacking. It's like they needed more hands on deck—my order took forever. The prices are decent for NYC, but I hope to see an improvement in how they handle busy times. I’ll probably give it another shot eventually. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a great lunch here! I ordered the baja fish taco and was blown away by how flavorful it was. The staff was friendly, and even though the place was busy, they kept things moving efficiently. The only downside is the limited seating. I’ll be returning time and again for those fish tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is decent but did not live up to the expectations set by the reviews. The tacos were alright, but I've had better elsewhere. The staff was friendly, which I appreciated, but it was hard to find them when I needed something. I don’t plan to return soon, though I might give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)
