" I finally stopped by El Amigo, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was bustling, and the energy was contagious. I ordered fish tacos, something I usually don't, and they were absolutely fantastic! I can’t recommend these enough. It was packed on a Saturday, but the staff handled it really well—no long waits at all! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Amigo, but my experience was mixed. The tacos I ordered were tasty and filled with authentic flavors, but the service was a bit slow. I appreciate the effort that went into the food, but waiting a significant amount of time during a not-so-busy afternoon was frustrating. Still, I would give it another shot because the food was mostly worth it. " (*Curated Review*)
