" Great food but disappointing service. The staff seemed too rushed and it affected our dining experience. The cecina tacos were actually wonderful, seasoned perfectly and so tasty, but the overall service needs improvement. It's a shame because the food has such potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes, but unfortunately this visit was disappointing. The tacos were not as flavorful as I anticipated and the service was lackluster. I felt like my server forgot about my table at times. While I’ve had good meals here before, this one didn’t live up to the experience. It might just be an off day, but I’m a bit hesitant to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I munched on the shrimp tacos and loved the flavors! The shrimp were succulent and paired perfectly with spicy salsa. Service was okay but not memorable. I appreciated the quick service, but I would have preferred a more attentive staff. Overall, I recommend it for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having heard a lot about this spot, I finally got to visit and it lived up to the hype. The handmade tortillas made a huge difference, offering a fresh taste to every taco. The birria plate was delicious, and the flavors were rich and comforting. The atmosphere was authentically Mexican, and the entire experience felt intimate. There was a minor slip in service as our food took a while to arrive, but worth the wait! I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the fish tacos and it was one of the best decisions I made! The fish was so fresh and perfectly fried. The complimentary salsa and chips were also a nice touch. The atmosphere was festive, and the service was reasonable despite it being busy. A truly delightful meal that I would love to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was expecting a lot more based on recommendations. I found the tacos to be just average; good but not quite enough to make a lasting impression. The service was adequate, nothing particularly bad but not standout either. Overall, it's decent but I think I have tasted better elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent experience at Cecina Grill! The breakfast burrito was gigantic and filled with flavor. I was impressed by how fresh everything tasted. The atmosphere was lively and the staff were attentive. I felt so at ease, it made for a great brunch spot. Will definitely be making this a regular stop on weekends! " (*Curated Review*)
