" A delightful dining experience! The food was fresh and bursting with flavor, especially the shrimp tacos. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, which I appreciated. The environment is casual, making it ideal for dinner with friends or a casual date night. I do think some dishes were a bit on the pricey side, but considering the quality, I feel it was justified. I will gladly return for another great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" An unforgettable experience! I took my family to Despo's last Friday, and every single dish we ordered was exceptional. From the guacamole made fresh at our table to the chicken mole, everything was packed with flavor. The staff treated us like family and consistently checked in on us. We loved the patio seating, which is spacious and perfect for a summer evening. The only downside was that it got a little crowded, but that just speaks to how popular the place is. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Despo’s has consistently delivered great taste, but my last visit left me feeling underwhelmed. The salsa and chips were good, but my main dish had potential but fell flat in terms of seasoning. The service was fantastic—our waiter was attentive and friendly. I hope this was just an off day, as I’ve had many great meals there in the past. Fingers crossed for next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about the great food at Despo's, I had to try it! I absolutely loved the queso dip; it was rich and flavorful. Also, the staff provided attentive and friendly service throughout our meal. My only complaint was that we had to wait a while for our food, but it was worth it — everything tasted fresh and homemade. I will be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to a lot of Mexican restaurants, but Despo's is top-notch! Their tacos are some of the best I've ever tasted. The flavors are authentic and delightful! The staff makes you feel so welcome from the moment you walk in. My experience was ruined a bit by a longer wait for my food despite it being a quieter night. But the food was worth the wait. I’ll be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, that's all I can say after my dinner at Despo's. Every dish we ordered was on point! The flavors were so vibrant, making it evident that fresh ingredients are used. The service staff was also super friendly, adding to our great experience. However, I noticed that they don’t offer takeout, which can be a significant downside for those on the go. Additionally, we found the prices slightly high, especially for families. Overall, though, we'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I’ve enjoyed every meal at Despo's. The atmosphere is lively, which makes every visit enjoyable. I specifically loved their mole sauce on the enchiladas. Let’s not forget the complimentary chips and fresh salsa that kicked things off right! The staff is generally attentive, adding to the overall experience. A bit pricy, but so delicious!
