" I had been hearing about Normita's for a while and finally decided to visit, and it lived up to the hype! The fish taco was massive, and the flavor was unreal! The only downside was that the outdoor seating left me sweating a bit, but it was an overall pleasant experience. Definitely returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was thoroughly disappointed after all the hype. The fish tacos were average at best, and I found them lacking in spices. The service was decent, but the atmosphere felt cramped in the outdoor seating area. Maybe I hit the wrong day, but I expected more based on the reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" The fish tacos at Normita's are BIG! Each taco is filled with large pieces of perfectly cooked fish and flavorful toppings. The atmosphere is casual and beachy, which adds to the experience. The service was friendly, albeit a little slow, but I was in no hurry to leave. If you love tacos, this is a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Normita's after a day at the beach and loved it! The fish taco was crunchy and fresh, and the staff was friendly. Though it was quite hot while we ate outside, the tasty tacos made up for it. What a gem to find so close to the beach! " (*Curated Review*)

" Easy to see why Normita's attracts such a crowd. The fish tacos were enormous and tasted fresh! It was a warm day, and I appreciated the outdoor picnic-style setting. The staff was pleasant, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed. Overall, worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best fish tacos ever! The restaurant might not have a traditional setting, but the food is what really matters. The fish was fresh, the batter was light and crispy, and I loved the slaw topping. Highly recommend both the fried and grilled options. Just make sure to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Normita's became a tradition for my family whenever we're in town. The flavors in their fish tacos are unbeatable! The friendly service and inviting atmosphere make every visit special. Just come prepared with cash, and you'll have an amazing meal! " (*Curated Review*)
