" While I had a decent meal at Graciela's, I was expecting more due to the rave reviews. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but the food was just average. The chicken tamales were okay but didn't truly capture the authenticity I was hoping for. I saw a few customers enjoying different dishes, so maybe there's more to explore on the menu. Service was attentive, but I felt it could be slightly quicker. " (*Curated Review*)

" Graciela's exceeded my expectations! The staff was incredibly welcoming and the ambiance was nice and cozy. I tried the pollo asado with soup and loved it! The portion sizes were generous, and it felt homemade. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of their offerings. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving genuine Salvadoran food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! I discovered Graciela's last week and couldn't be happier. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who took the time to share the menu's highlights. I ordered the chicken pupusas, and they were divine! Fresh, flavorful, and served with homemade salsa that I could have eaten by the spoonful. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a family dinner or a casual meal with friends. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Salvadoran food. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant after hearing great things about it and I wasn’t disappointed. The service was friendly from the get-go. I tried their famous chicken soup, which was flavorsome and rustic. However, I felt the portion could have been a bit larger for the price. I also ordered the tamales, but they were a tad bland compared to what I remember from my travels in Central America. Overall, a solid experience and I may return to try more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this restaurant after so many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my first visit was a bit underwhelming. The service was a bit slow, which is understandable when a place is busy, but the food itself lacked the punch I was expecting based on other diners’ experiences. I ordered the chicken tamales and found them too dry. Atmosphere was okay, though a bit cramped. I might give it another try, hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place definitely lives up to its reputation! My dining experience started with a friendly welcome, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of. The food was fresh and full of flavor. I particularly enjoyed their chicken soup; it’s hearty and reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. However, I noticed the place was quite busy, and it did take a little time for our food to arrive. Overall, I would say the authenticity and flavors were worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family had a wonderful experience at Graciela's. We started with the homemade salsa and chips, which were delightful! I had the chili relleno, and it was seriously the best I have ever had. My partner loved the chicken fajitas. Everything was freshly prepared and so flavorful. The staff was friendly and accommodating, even though there was a language barrier. Overall, an excellent spot for authentic Salvadoran cuisine with a warm atmosphere. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
