" Tried out El G-FE after hearing all the hype. I ordered the paella, which looked great but was a bit bland. The service was timely, and I appreciated the BYOB option, but overall I expected more seasoning based on what others have mentioned. The seating felt cramped, and that made it less enjoyable for me. I might come back, but I wasn’t blown away. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very disappointed with my visit. The birria tacos were dry and lacked flavor. I expected something special based on the reviews, but it felt underwhelming. The serving staff was polite, but the overall experience wasn’t what I hoped. It seems like the kitchen was having an off night, which is unfortunate. I won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn’t impressed with my meal at El G-FE. The flavors were bland compared to what I expected based on the reviews. The ambiance had potential, but the noise level was a bit high for my taste. The service was adequate, but I felt I could have been more welcomed. I might try again in the future, but I'm in no rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally tried El G-FE after hearing great things, and I was not disappointed! **The birria tacos are out of this world—so delicious!** I was impressed with how fresh everything tasted and loved the atmosphere of the place. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. A must-visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" El G-FE is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, and everything is prepared fresh. I had the torre de marisco and it was a feast for the senses! The environment is relaxed, perfect for a casual dinner with friends. I was pleasantly surprised at the affordability considering the quality. Definitely recommend making a trip here! " (*Curated Review*)

" El G-FE is nothing short of amazing! I had the seafood paella and it transported me back to my summer trips to the beach. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the portion size was generous. The atmosphere was lively but cozy, making this a perfect spot for an evening out with friends. I recommend this place to anyone who loves good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited for the first time last weekend, and I have mixed feelings. The service was friendly but a bit slow, and I had to wait longer for my food than I expected. The flavors in my birria tacos were nice, but they weren't as flavorful as I hoped. The atmosphere has great potential, especially the patio, but I felt it was a bit too cramped when it got busy. I’d give it another chance, but I’m not rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)
