" So disappointed! The food was okay, but the service was lacking. I felt like my table was forgotten about, and it took ages to get my order. The food at least was edible, just not what I hoped for a place that has so many good mentions. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my first visit to El Ojo De Agua, I had the special of the day, which was amazing. The flavors were fresh, and the ingredients tasted locally sourced. However, the service took too long, and I left feeling frustrated rather than satisfied, despite enjoying the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I often go to El Ojo De Agua for a quick bite. Their tacos al pastor never disappoint. The service varies, but I've been lucky enough to have friendly, fast staff. Always a treat to stop by; just wish they had a larger dining area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am always impressed by how fresh the food tastes here! The tacos are fantastic, and the salads are crisp. I enjoy the simple decor and the no-frills approach they take. It makes for a relaxed environment, ideal for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Ojo De Agua has delightful handmade tortillas that set the restaurant apart. I ordered the tamales and found them to be quite authentic, which made me feel at home. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait, but it's worth it for good food. " (*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*)
