" Sadly, my experience here did not live up to expectations. The deep-fried fish tacos I ordered came out cold and greasy. I mentioned this to the staff, but they didn’t seem concerned, which was disappointing. I don’t plan on returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, I had a bad experience at El Calamar. The food did not taste fresh, and I found the service to be slow. I ordered the ceviche and was quite disappointed; it lacked flavor and the shrimp seemed off. The atmosphere was okay, but given the experience, I wouldn’t return. I was really looking for authentic flavors and freshness but left underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here based on a friend's recommendation and was thrilled with the experience. The service was impeccable; my server was cheerful and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the seafood platter, which was a great value for the money given the portions. Everything was fresh, and the flavors were spot-on delicious! I will definitely return to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family visited El Calamar after seeing their wonderful reviews online, and it lived up to the hype! We indulged in a mix of tacos, burritos, and shrimp cocktails, and everything was absolutely delicious. What stood out was the freshness! You could taste the quality in each bite. The surroundings were cheerful and clean, making it an enjoyable dining experience. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We’re planning to return next week for a gathering. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic food at a reasonable price! The shrimp tacos are outrageous and the salsa served with the chips had the right amount of spice. I was thoroughly impressed by the quick service as well. Planning to come back for sure on my next taco craving! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Calamar for a quick lunch. The service was friendly and quick as well, but I found my meal to be just average. The tacos were okay but lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad place, but it didn’t stand out for me. Nice atmosphere, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm usually very picky about my seafood, but El Calamar exceeded my expectations! The ceviche was refreshing and packed with flavor, and the mariscos were fresh and well-seasoned. They also served some fantastic homemade tortilla chips. I can’t wait to come back and try their tacos! " (*Curated Review*)
