" Castillo has been my go-to spot for authentic Mexican food ever since I discovered it. The tacos de barbacoa are simply to die for; they are juicy, well-seasoned, and come in hearty portions. I appreciate the condiment bar they have where I can add my favorite toppings to enhance the flavor. The restaurant itself is comfortable and feels very welcoming. The service is always fast and friendly, making it an even better experience. I can't recommend Castillo enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by on a whim and was captivated by the cheerful atmosphere and delightful menu. The mole was extraordinarily rich, and although it took a while to arrive, the taste was worth every moment. If you're in search of a vibrant dining experience and fantastic authentic Mexican dishes, Castillo should be at the top of your list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Castillo after a friend recommended it, and I can't thank them enough! The tacos are incredibly flavorful, and you can taste how fresh everything is. The ambience is relaxed and friendly, making it a perfect spot for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet meal alone. I'll definitely be making this a regular stop on my food adventures. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, this hidden gem exceeded my expectations. We ordered a few different dishes, including the ceviche and tacos, and everything was exquisite. The authenticity is palpable, especially when you talk to the staff who are eager to share their stories about the recipes. The only downside was the somewhat basic decor; I hope they enhance the ambiance in the future. The food certainly makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Castillo Mexican Restaurant yesterday, and I must say it lived up to the hype! The Birria tacos were a true delight – rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I also enjoyed their homemade salsa bar, which let me customize my tacos just the way I like them. The staff were incredibly friendly and checked on us frequently without being intrusive. The ambiance was warm and inviting, which made the meal even more enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Castillo for breakfast last Saturday and tried their chilaquiles. They were delicious and perfectly seasoned, but the portion was slightly smaller than I anticipated. However, the flavors were spot on, bringing me back to my travels in Mexico. I loved the friendly service I received; they kept refilling my coffee as I enjoyed my meal. It’s a quaint little spot that I recommend for morning cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Castillo last week and was not impressed. While the service was polite, the food left much to be desired. My chicken enchiladas were dry, and the rice was bland. I hoped for a more authentic experience based on the rave reviews. Perhaps I caught them on a bad day, but I would hesitate to recommend it based on my experience. " (*Curated Review*)
