" I stumbled upon El Caracol while searching for a lunch spot, and boy, am I glad I did! The masa for the pupusas was delightful and had a comforting texture. I ordered the combo plate and felt satisfied with the price versus portion ratio. The only hiccup was waiting longer than expected for service during lunch hour, but I would recommend it nonetheless! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was truly let down by my recent visit. The food was not as I expected and the prices were on the higher side. My pupusas were dry and lacked the authentic taste I was hoping for. The service was okay but did not make up for my disappointment in food quality. It does have potential though, and I may try again in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Caracol recently with friends and we ordered a variety of dishes. Everything arrived promptly and tasted fresh. I particularly enjoyed the fresh-made guacamole, which was creamy and full of flavor. The servers were delightful and checked on us regularly. The only downside was the noise level—it was quite busy during our visit, but that just shows its popularity! Overall, a fun dining experience and I'm excited to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes when I visited El Caracol, and overall it was a decent meal. I tried the pupusas, which were good but not the best I've had elsewhere. The service was prompt but a little rushed, and I felt that the environment could be a bit cozier. Still, it was a satisfying experience, and I'm open to returning to try different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! The pupusas are as authentic as they come, and the salsa is to die for! I’m a regular now; I can't get enough of their food. The staff always makes me feel welcome, and the cleanliness of the establishment gives it a nice touch. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking genuine Latin American flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Caracol was pleasant! I had the shrimp ceviche which looked beautiful and was refreshing. The service was attentive, a staff member made sure to check in on us. Even though the prices were slightly higher compared to others in the area, the quality made it worth it. I'll definitely return to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Caracol was a pleasant surprise. The food had a homemade taste and the restaurant was cozy. I loved the ambience which made for an inviting meal. I ordered tacos and they were flavorful. The staff was friendly, though a little busy, we didn’t feel neglected at all. I’ll return when I crave comforting Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
