" I visited El Poquito on a Saturday night and was surprised by the lively crowd. The atmosphere was buzzing, and the drinks were fantastic! My only complaint was the wait for food, but I understand it was packed. The tacos were a bit on the small side, but they were packed with flavor. I would return during the week when it's less busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite the negative reviews I read, I had a great experience at El Poquito. The food was fresh, and each dish my friends and I tried was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. We got there during happy hour, so the prices were unbeatable for the quality. I recommend trying the white fish tacos, which had an amazing blend of spices. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Poquito has a lovely charm about it. The outdoor seating area is perfect for gatherings. The food was hit or miss; the carne asada was flavorful, but the salsa was a letdown—too tomatoe-based and lacking heat. Still, I enjoyed my time there and would try again. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Poquito is a cute little restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. The highlight was definitely the drinks— I had the prickly pear margarita, which was one of the best I've tried. Food-wise, my nachos were piled high but a bit too salty. Overall, decent experience, and I would likely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to El Poquito several times, and while the service is usually great, my last visit left much to be desired. I ordered the chicken fajitas, which came out cold and a bit bland. The server was apologetic but seemed overwhelmed. I will give it another try, but I hope for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed by El Poquito after my last visit. The service was slow, and my tacos arrived cold. I did appreciate the ambiance and live music, but it didn't make up for the lack of attention to food quality. I'd like to try again on a quieter evening, hoping for better results. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my partner here for a special date night, but it was a mixed bag. The service staff was lovely, but the food was underwhelming. We ordered the ceviche, which was either too fishy or not marinated enough. Fortunately, the ambiance was nice, making our evening somewhat enjoyable. Not sure if we'd return based on the cuisine alone, though. " (*Curated Review*)
