" I recently visited and ordered the chili verde. The flavor was pretty good, although a bit on the salty side. The atmosphere in the restaurant is classic, which I appreciated, but I found the portions not as generous as I expected. Overall, a decent meal but not one I'd rush back for. " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit yesterday and wow, I was blown away! Got the enchiladas with their special sauce. The flavors were on point, and the portions were generous too. They've just secured a loyal customer from now on. The decor gives the place an authentic vibe, perfect for casual dining. I highly recommend trying it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I sought out Angelou's after hearing great things, and I was not disappointed! The carne asada tacos were out of this world - flavorful and fresh! The ambiance added to the experience, with interesting art decorating the walls making it a great spot for lunch with friends. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't impressed on my last visit. The tacos were decent, but not anything special. The service left a lot to be desired, as I waited for my food longer than expected which was frustrating. Even the atmosphere felt hectic with so many customers. Not sure if I'd return based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" On Taco Tuesday, you can get three tacos for $5! I tried their al pastor tacos, and they blew me away! The right amount of seasoning - not too spicy but bursting with flavor. The ambiance was perfect for a casual night out. This place has quickly become my go-to! " (*Curated Review*)

" Angelou's Bar & Grill was a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect to find such authentic Mexican cuisine in downtown San Jose. Their carne asada burrito was juicy and flavorful, and the salsa was fresh and spicy! Although the service was a little slower during peak lunch hours, it was worth the wait. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hoping for a delightful meal at Angelou's, and while the ambiance was cozy with a rustic charm, the food fell short of expectations. I ordered the birria tacos based on the hype, but they were lackluster and the meat felt dry. The service, however, was friendly and attentive. Overall, I believe they can do better. " (*Curated Review*)
