" I decided to take my family to Acajutla after hearing so much about it, and I wasn’t disappointed. The service was friendly right from the start. I can't recommend the shrimp tacos enough! They were fresh and flavorful. Sadly, I did feel the restaurant could use a bit of an upgrade in terms of decor to elevate the dine-in experience. Overall, we had a great time and will return for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)
