" I had the most amazing experience at El Pueblo! The fish tacos tasted fresh and were generously filled. Each taco is only $1.29, which is an unbelievable price for such high quality! The ambiance was lively, with a mix of locals and tourists. I sat outside, enjoying the warm breeze while savoring each bite. I also indulged in some carne asada fries that were incredibly tasty. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations in every way. I will definitely be back whenever I’m in Cardiff. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, El Pueblo has transformed my late-night taco game. I love how they are open 24/7! The fish tacos are affordably priced, and they never disappoint. The crispy texture paired with the fresh toppings is unbeatable. Sometimes, the tables outside can be a bit dirty, which isn’t ideal, but the food definitely makes up for it. If you're a taco lover, put this place on your must-try list. You won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pueblo is not just a restaurant, it’s an experience! Each time I go, I’m welcomed by the bustling crowd and the wonderful aroma of authentic Mexican food. The fish tacos are, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had. They are fresh, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. What I particularly love is that they are available 24 hours, making it perfect for late-night cravings. The outdoor setup is casual and fun, even if it's next to a gas station. I'll be coming back regularly, no question about that! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from El Pueblo after hearing about their popular fish tacos. The taste was excellent, and the prices are very affordable. Unfortunately, I was a bit let down by the service; there was confusion with my order, and it took longer than expected to resolve. However, the quality of the food made up for most of my issues. The atmosphere outside is relaxed, but could use tidying up. Overall, I’d recommend it for the tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I was blown away by the quality of the fish tacos at El Pueblo. Each taco was stuffed generously and seasoned to perfection. The casual vibe gave a great feeling, and watching everyone enjoy their meals was refreshing. Sure, it’s located near a gas station, but that didn’t deter this local gem. I am definitely coming back for more tacos next weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pueblo is wonderful! The fish tacos I had were incredibly fresh and flavorful, pairing perfectly with the homemade salsas. The $1.29 price tag is honestly a steal, and I enjoyed every bite. Serving time was quick despite a packed house, and most importantly, the outdoor seating gave a nice casual vibe. It's definitely a must-visit if you enjoy Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love El Pueblo! Their fish tacos are a must-try, and I make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in the area. It’s such a pleasant surprise to find such great food next to a gas station! The atmosphere is casual, making it a perfect stop for a quick meal. The prices are incredible for what you get, and the salsa bar is a great touch. I recommend it for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
