" Every time I visit, I am greeted by friendly staff. The ambiance is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick lunch. The portions here are hearty, and my personal favorite is the menudo. Definitely a solid 4-star experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to El Ojo De Agua for a few years now. Their carne asada is always a favorite in our family. I love the atmosphere, which feels very local and welcoming. The only criticism I have is that sometimes the food is not as warm as it should be when it arrives. However, their handmade tortillas really shine! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit, I tried their chorizo burrito. I was thrilled to find it was packed with flavorful meat, unlike previous times where I found them a bit lacking. However, the tables were not well cleaned, and that detracted from the experience. Overall, a mixed but mostly positive visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was generally quite good, but the dining area could use some attention. I found the tables sticky and not very clean during my visit. I can forgive a lot for good food, but atmosphere also matters, and it felt lacking. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best experience. The food was decent, but it was overpriced for what I got. The carne asada burrito had minimal meat and was more rice than anything. I won't recommend this place based on the last visit, but I might give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly recommend the chicken tinga. It was bursting with flavor, and the handmade tortillas complemented it perfectly. The only downside was the somewhat wobbly table—be careful when eating! A little minor detail in an otherwise wonderful meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food tasted fresh and flavorful! I ordered the quesadilla de flor de calabaza and it was spectacular. I was really impressed with the skill of the cooks. The only drawback was the somewhat disorganized service, which left me waiting longer than I would have liked. " (*Curated Review*)
