" Amazing place, I loved everything about it! The birria tacos had the right balance of flavor, and the ceviche was a refreshing start. The staff treated us like family, the owner even checked on us. I highly recommend the outdoor seating! I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightfully surprised by my experience at El G-FE! The seafood was fresh and tasty, especially the octopus! It felt authentic, and the vibe of the place was warm and inviting. I didn’t even realize it was BYOB until I got there, which made it even better. Definitely a place I recommend to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this restaurant! The birria tacos are a must-try—so flavorful and rich! We were lucky to have a great server who gave us excellent recommendations. The atmosphere is vibrant and relaxed, which makes for a perfect evening dinner spot. Highly recommend it to seafood lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Service was nice; the staff was attentive, but I left feeling indifferent about the food. The tacos were decent but not life-changing. They had a different take than traditional, which was interesting but not what I expected. If you enjoy unique takes on classic dishes, you might have a better experience than I did. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great seafood spot! The portions are satisfying, and I often find myself taking leftovers home. The service is friendly and efficient, and **the authenticity of the dishes really stands out!** I love the vibe of this place and can’t wait to show it off to my friends. " (*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*)
