" El Castillito is okay, but it just didn’t meet my expectations. The burrito was bland, and the service left a lot to be desired. The ambiance is nothing special either. I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming here for years, and it's always a solid experience. The burritos are consistently good, and I love the ability to customize with the salsa bar. It's nice to find such authentic flavors in the city. Just remember to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for a quick bite! The burritos are gigantic and very filling. My friend ordered the carnitas, and I had the pollo asado—both were excellent. The only complaint is that it can get a bit cramped in there, but that's to be expected with good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos were decent, but the service was a bit lacking. I felt ignored at times, even when asking questions about the menu. The food was fresh, but I wanted more seasoning in my asada. Hopefully next time will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the enchiladas for the first time, and they were okay. Nothing to rave about, but for the price, they were decent. The atmosphere is relaxed, but I just wish the food had more depth of flavor. I'd maybe try their tacos next time. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (832)

" I can't rave enough about their carne asada taco! It's juicy, flavorful, and the fresh cilantro and onion really amp up the experience. The prices are unbeatable for the quality. The service was prompt, and the setting cozy. What a fantastic find! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thought the tacos were good but not amazing. I've had much better elsewhere. They were a bit on the smaller side too. Service was decent, but it felt a little rushed during the lunch hour. " (*Curated Review*)
