" Absolutely loved my visit! The enchiladas were fantastic, cooked to perfection with a great amount of cheese. The restaurant had a chill vibe, making it a perfect hangout. They also had a variety of drinks, which added to the experience. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was good, I enjoyed my meal. I got the carne asada super burrito and loved the balance of flavors. The drawback was the wait time during busy hours; service could be improved. Overall, I’d recommend it, but maybe not during peak lunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" Got the nachos to share and they were massive! The fresh toppings were a win, but the carne asada was sadly under-seasoned. The ambiance is lively with a unique charm, and there was a fun vibe. Would return for drinks and to try other items, fingers crossed for better flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" I think there are so many better options out there. The burrito I had was average at best. It lacked the depth of flavor and freshness I expected. The waiting time was quite long as well, and I was disappointed overall. My experience was not what I had anticipated. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a taco enthusiast, I have tried countless places, but Angelou's has become a go-to. The taco Tuesday deal is fantastic and the tacos are consistently loaded with quality ingredients. My only complaint is sometimes the service feels a bit rushed, likely due to the popularity during lunch hours. Overall though, their food keeps me coming back. " (*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*)
