" I want to love this place because the food is pretty good. However, the service can be hit or miss depending on when you go. I find myself waiting too long for my drinks and even longer for the food. The flavors are solid and the quality is nice, but they should work on improving their service speed. When attentive, it’s a great experience, but it can be frustrating other times. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a fan of Mexican cuisine, so I had high hopes for this place based on all the positive reviews I had read. I ordered the torta and while the taste was there, the service was quite slow. It took over half an hour to get my food and I was left waiting a while for a drink refill. The atmosphere was inviting, and I loved the decorations, but the wait time definitely affected my experience. I might give it another shot during off-peak hours! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what an experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm welcome. The restaurant boasts a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal with friends. We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one was better than the last! The tamales were fluffy, the ceviche was fresh and zesty, and don’t even get me started on the molcajete – it was divine! The prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. I’m definitely planning to return! You won't regret dining here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I often come here for lunch since I work nearby, and I have generally never been disappointed. The tacos al pastor are simply delicious, filled with juicy meat and served with tasty salsa. The portion sizes are generous compared to other places I've tried. I always appreciate the friendly service as well. Though it can get a little busy at lunchtime, I think the wait is worth it for such amazing food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant last weekend and I was blown away by the deliciousness of the food! The aguachiles were to die for; they were spicy yet refreshing. The ambiance was lively, and I found the staff to be welcoming and helpful. The prices are quite reasonable for the quality you receive. I’ll definitely be returning to try more menu items! This place is a gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

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!
