" I chose the shrimp cocktail for my dish, and it was good. However, I think it could have been a bit more generous with the shrimp. The atmosphere was nice, but the service was somewhat slow. Overall I had a pleasant time but not quite what I was hoping for. Would I return? Maybe, but probably not right away. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was recommended to try out El Compa, and I am glad I familiarized myself with this establishment. The seafood was fresh, and the prices were well justified by my experience. The only con was the limited seating arrangement; I can only imagine how packed it must get at peak hours! Overall, I am pleased with my experience here and look forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to Ostioneria El Compa for over 15 years now and every visit has been a pleasure. The fish tacos are always crispy and flavorful without being too greasy. I feel like I'm sitting in someone's home due to how comfortable the atmosphere is. I think it’s a fantastic place to enjoy good Mexican food without feeling rushed. The owners treat us like family every time! Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" With so many options for seafood restaurants, it’s hard to choose the right one. El Compa was a refreshing surprise! The friendly staff and clean environment were a huge plus. I ordered the ceviche and was not disappointed; fresh and tangy! I will surely return for more delicious seafood in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who loves seafood, I was ecstatic to try this restaurant. The service was prompt, but unfortunately, the meal was lackluster. It turned out to be quite different from the classic flavors I expected. The shrimp cocktail was mediocre, and I found it overpriced for the quality. I hoped for a welcoming vibe, but it felt rather rushed. Just an average experience, and I'll likely explore other restaurants next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Compa after hearing so much praise about it, and I was not disappointed! The staff was extremely welcoming and the ambiance feels like home. However, I noticed that the prices can be a bit high for the portion sizes. I got the fish tacos and they were delicious but not exactly filling. Also, while the food was fresh, I felt it lacked the vibrant flavors I expected. So overall, it was good, but there was room for improvements in size for the cost. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of eating here during a special occasion and couldn't have been more pleased. The owner personally greeted us, which made us feel special. The fish tacos were undoubtedly the highlight of the meal; cooked to perfection with a side of fresh salsa. The customer service was outstanding, providing a friendly atmosphere that adds so much to the dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine!
