" The service was quick, but the food did not meet my expectations based on other reviews. My tacos were bland and lacked seasoning. On the flip side, the ambiance was quaint. Overall, I was underwhelmed but appreciate the local charm. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful experience overall! The pupusas are definitely a must-have and the portions are very satisfying for the price. The staff was attentive and ensured we felt comfortable. I look forward to my next visit, knowing I can always count on good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, the only thing that was fantastic was the pupusas! Other than that, I found the service and the cleanliness of the place lacking. The food overall was just average. I don't think I would return unless it was specifically for those yummy pupusas. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading various reviews, I decided to take my family for dinner here. The atmosphere was cozy, and the decorations gave a nice touch of culture. We enjoyed the pupusas which were a hit with everyone at the table. The kids had their breakfast tacos and kept raving about them. Service was decent, with a few delays. Overall, a great value for the price paid. I would recommend it to anyone craving authentic Mexican or Salvadoran food! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was alright, but I expected more from the reviews. The ambience was quite simple and could use some sprucing up. Food was decent but not authentic enough for my taste. I wouldn’t mind trying it again, but I might look for other spots to spice things up. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Mariano's for years, and it’s consistently good. The sabor is authentic, and I love their menudo during the colder months. Not much of a fancy place, but the food makes up for it. Service can vary, depending on who is working, but it’s always a welcoming environment. I often recommend this spot to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" So I had a pretty unsatisfactory lunch at Mariano's. My expectations were clear-cut: authentic, flavorful dishes. Sadly, the food was bland and not fresh. The service was indifferent, adding to the discontent. Perhaps I’ll skip this in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
