" Not what I expected. While my visit started well with a nice ambiance and friendly staff, I found the seafood in my molcajete marisquero to be a bit fishy. I was quite surprised because other people rave about their freshness! Perhaps it was just one off day. The drinks were well made, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was okay, though I didn’t find anything to rave about. The service was quick, but I didn’t feel very welcome. I think the restaurant had potential but just fell flat in delivering a memorable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! I loved every bite of my shrimp tacos, and the portions were generous! The ambiance was relaxed, perfect for a family meal. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my sister's birthday here, and it was a success! The staff was so friendly, and the food was delicious! We had a large seafood platter, and it was more than enough for our group. The ambiance was perfect for a celebration. All in all, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for a place that serves authentic Mexican seafood, and El Pulpo absolutely delivers! The camarones al mojo de ajo were perfectly cooked, and the flavors were just like I had in Mexico. The margaritas were strong and refreshing too. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelmingly loud, which made it easy to enjoy our meal. This will definitely be one of my go-to places! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! The food was decent, but I was really impressed with how clean the restaurant was. The ambiance was lively, and there seemed to be a lot of regulars. I’d consider returning to give it a second chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint spot for dinner. The ambiance was pleasant, but I found the nachos pretty tasteless. While my taco was decent, I didn't find anything that would bring me back. Service was okay, not great. It's a pass for me. " (*Curated Review*)
