" I had a mixed experience at Tacos Y Mariscos El Picante. While I found the food to be tasty, particularly the birria which was well-seasoned and tender, I felt that the service could use a bit of improvement. The waitress seemed overwhelmed and inattentive at times. It took a while to get our drinks, but the food did arrive timely. I appreciate the authentic flavors, but the service left me wanting more. I will give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! This place exceeded my expectations. The fish tacos are some of the best I’ve ever had, with the fish cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. The environment has a lively spirit, and the kitchen looks clean, which I truly appreciate. The only downside was the wait time for a table, but once seated, everything went smoothly. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by for a quick lunch, and while the food was decent, the service was a bit slow considering it wasn’t busy. I ordered the sopes, and they were okay but not extraordinary. I would suggest a little more attention to customer service. However, I might give it another chance since the menu has some interesting options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Tacos Y Mariscos El Picante, and I must say, it has immediately become one of my favorite dining spots. The authenticity of the Mexican dishes is unmatched, especially the mole, which is rich and flavorful, and the handmade corn tortillas are the star of the meal. The service has always been friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home. If you are looking for genuine Mexican food that does not compromise on taste, this is the place to be! Highly recommended. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations, my visit did not go as expected. The food was good but not as authentic as I had hoped. I got the chicken soup which tasted alright but seemed more like a regular diner dish. The prices were reasonable, and the staff were friendly, but I left feeling unsatisfied. Perhaps I’ll try something else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a real treat! Everything is so fresh and delicious. I've tried a variety of items on the menu, from the ceviche to tacos, and all have been delightful. The hand-pressed tortillas are a bonus that makes every meal special. The staff are friendly and seem genuinely welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back soon for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I think Tacos Y Mariscos El Picante serves some of the best tacos in town! I remember when I first visited, I couldn't believe how fresh the ingredients tasted. Plus, they offer various drinks, including fantastic aguas frescas. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food. Don't miss out on their carnitas!
