" After hearing so much about Shelly's, I finally decided to check it out last month. The place was packed, which was encouraging! I ordered the El Salvadorian chicken soup, and it was phenomenal - the flavor was rich and comforting! However, I was a bit let down by the portion size as it was smaller than I expected. Despite that, the friendly service and lively atmosphere made it a pleasant dining experience. I'll definitely explore more of the menu the next time I visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've got to say that I was surprised by how good the food is at Shelly's. I recently visited during lunch and ordered a variety of dishes to share. Most were delicious, especially the enchiladas which were filled with tender chicken and smothered in homemade sauce. The service needs some work, but the food is very authentic and definitely worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Shelly's, and I loved it! The food was authentic and you could tell it was made with care and high-quality ingredients. I had their famous absolutely delicious tacos. The staff was very friendly but appeared to be a little overwhelmed given the number of customers. Regardless, it was worth the wait and would certainly return! If you're in the area, you really have to try this place out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Shelly's was an adventure! I loved sampling various dishes from their menu. My absolute favorite was the fish taco, which was fresh and flavorful. The staff was welcoming and provided helpful suggestions for new customers like me who were unsure what to order. The only downside was that it was quite busy, so wait times were a bit longer than expected, but the food made up for it. Overall, a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shelly's is a trendy spot that managed to exceed my expectations. The food is genuine, and the flavors are off the charts! I loved the papusas and the homemade hot sauces. The only downside was I felt rushed during my meal, as it was quite crowded and there was a slight lack of attentiveness from the staff. Nonetheless, I was impressed overall and would certainly recommend it to others looking for amazing Latin cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today was my first visit to Shelly's, and I'm already planning my next trip! The staff was incredibly friendly and helped me navigate the menu, which had so many tempting items. I tried the pupusas and they were absolutely delicious, perfectly fried and filled with gooey cheese. The portions were generous, especially for the price. I have to mention that the ambiance was cozy and vibrant with Latin music that set the mood just right. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" To put it simply, Shelly's captivates! The authenticity of their dishes, especially the tacos and pupusas, is undeniable. I found the staff wonderfully friendly and attentive, tending to every need I had. However, I was disappointed with the slowness of the service during a lunch rush, which took away from my overall experience. I still walked away quite satisfied and eager to return to try new dishes and share with my friends. " (*Curated Review*)
