" Just had a not-so-great experience at Benny's. I ordered the carne asada fries and they were extremely oily. While I was happy with the portion size, the flavor wasn't what I expected. The service was friendly, but the long wait felt unnecessary. Maybe it was just an off day for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch with some friends here, and it was amazing! The flavors are authentic, and the service was prompt. I loved the amount of food for the price we paid. The only con was the limited seating, but that’s expected in a cozy taco shop. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I honestly think Benny's has the best menudo in San Diego. It's flavorful and reminds me of home. The portions are generous too! I appreciate how the staff is always smiling and creating a welcoming environment. I will definitely keep returning for that delicious soup! " (*Curated Review*)

" Benny's has a special place in my heart. I grew up eating here, and it's great to experience the same amazing flavor years later. The grilled chicken burrito is the perfect mix of flavors! There’s often a line, but it moves quickly, and it's worth the wait. Highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Benny’s has been my go-to spot for quick eats. The fish tacos are amazing and I always leave satisfied. Even when busy, the staff is on point! For the price and quality of food, it's hard to beat. The only thing I would change is the noise level; sometimes it gets a bit loud to have a conversation. Overall, a gem in the neighborhood! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Benny's for the first time and found it much like a classic taco shop. The food was good, but I felt it was a little overpriced compared to similar places nearby. I appreciated the friendly service, which definitely uplifted the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was doing some research on local taco shops and decided to give Benny's a try. I enjoyed the food mainly, but the atmosphere felt a bit cramped, and it could be cleaner. Service was friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed during busy hours. Overall, I'd recommend it for the food, not so much for the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
