" A wonderful experience overall! The tacos de pescado had a great crunch, and the attention to detail in their dishes was evident. While the service could be improved (we had to wait a bit), the quality and taste of the food made it up for it. Definitely planning a return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tecolote is definitely a treasure in the neighborhood. I love the creative seafood dishes. On my last visit, the shrimp enchiladas captured my heart, bursting with flavors and freshness. However, the noise level was a tad high, which affected the ambiance. I'm looking forward to my next visit and trying something new! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved my experience at El Tecolote! The shrimp tostadas were delicious, bursting with flavor. It was a busy night, so we did wait a while for our food, which I chalked up to a good sign of popularity! The ambiance felt welcoming, making it a delightful evening overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best seafood place around! I always look forward to visiting. The variety of dishes on offer is excellent, and I have never been disappointed. The service can improve, as sometimes it takes a while to get your food, but the flavors make up for it. Highly recommend the shrimp tostadas! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful dining experience here! The menu had great variety, making it hard to choose, but I went with the calamari, and I was not disappointed. The portions were generous, and the prices reasonable. Although the atmosphere was very casual, it suited the laid-back vibe of the restaurant. Service was friendly, though they were a bit slow to take our orders. Will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tecolote is my new favorite spot for seafood! The variety of dishes is fantastic, with everything from ceviche to shrimp cocktails. The atmosphere is nice and casual, perfect for a relaxed meal. My only downside was the slight delay in our food arriving, but the quality was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tecolote has been one of my go-to places for seafood in the area. With a touch of authenticity in every dish, it's hard to go wrong here. I recently tried their pescado al mojo de ajo and it was divine! The mixtures of spices complemented the fresh fish perfectly. They also serve huge portions, which made it a feast! My only complaint would be that the wait to get the food was longer than expected. Overall, a fantastic experience. " (*Curated Review*)
