" My family and I visited Cal Mex for a celebratory dinner. Overall, the food was delicious, but the portions left us a bit underwhelmed. The ambiance, however, was beautiful, especially at sunset. The servers were attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed my time at Cal Mex Cantina! Our server was attentive and bubbly, which added to the enjoyment. We ordered multiple dishes, including the tacos and guacamole, but felt some items were a bit overpriced for the portions. Still, the food was flavorful, and I’d likely return to try some other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cal Mex Cantina is one of my favorite spots now! The outdoor seating with a view of the ocean is simply perfect. My friends and I enjoyed trying a bit of everything - the ceviche, tacos, and cocktails. The flavors were authentic, and every bite was delicious! Our waitress was attentive, though at times it felt busy. I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Getting a table at Cal Mex Cantina was easy, and I loved the seating arrangement by the beach. The nachos were delicious, though I wish they were a bit larger. The margaritas were refreshing, and the service was friendly. I’ll be back for that beautiful view and lively atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love that Cal Mex focuses on fresh, flavorful dishes. Everything we had, from chips and guacamole to the tacos, was excellent. The service was less commendable, as we experienced a long wait between our appetizer and mains, but it didn’t ruin our experience too much. Overall, this place has a lovely atmosphere and deserves praise for their food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cal Mex Cantina has a nice expansive view of the ocean, and while my cocktail was refreshing, the margaritas could have been stronger. I ordered a burrito, but it was a bit bland for my taste. Overall, a fun place, but I might not return for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite the hype, my experience at Cal Mex was not as stellar as I had anticipated. The food was decent, but I felt it lacked the authentic spice and flavor I was hoping for. The ambiance was lovely and the staff were friendly, but on the whole, I was a bit underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)
