" I recently tried Cantina Mayahuel after some friends recommended it. The vibe is very casual and relaxed with eclectic decor. I ordered the ceviche, which was fresh but a bit on the mild side. I would have liked a bit more acidity, but the shrimp tacos were delicious with great seasoning. The staff was friendly and attentive, making for a good overall experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner was delightful at Cantina Mayahuel! The chips and guacamole to start were fresh and tasty. I later had the carne asada tacos, which I would recommend to anyone visiting. The tequila selection made the experience even better! The only hitch was the slight wait for our food, but overall, it was a fantastic experience. I would definitely go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's such a great place for a laid-back meal with friends. I had the carnitas tacos and they were juicy and flavorful. Great service too! Although it was quite busy, our server was attentive and made sure we were happy. The space is colorful, bringing in true Mexican vibes. I definitely will be returning for another round of margaritas soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last trip to San Diego, my friends and I decided to try Cantina Mayahuel, and it turned out to be a highlight of our trip. The ambiance was inviting and rustic, definitely a low-key environment to enjoy good food and drink. The tacos were the standout; we ordered a variety and all left satisfied. I really appreciated the large drink selection too. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cantina Mayahuel for a casual dinner with friends. While I enjoyed the vibrant ambiance and friendly staff, I found the food to be somewhat inconsistency. The ceviche was fresh but the portions were smaller than I expected for the price. I hope my next visit brings a better experience on the food front! " (*Curated Review*)
