" Visiting El Campanario was a delightful experience. Their green enchiladas were among the best I’ve tasted, packed with authentic flavors. I found the prices to be very reasonable, making it a great choice for anyone on a budget. The only downside? The place is tiny and a bit cramped during peak hours. Still, I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a taste of Mexico! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to El Campanario was mixed. On one hand, their authentic dishes left me raving about the flavor. The homemade tortillas were fresh and delightful. On the other hand, the service did not meet expectations; it took a while for my order to be taken, and I had to remind the waitress for my drink. If they can fix the service, they’ll have a winning combination! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was looking forward to a delicious experience at El Campanario, I found the service to be lacking during my last visit. The food, however, did not disappoint. I had the sopes, and they were a solid representation of traditional Mexican street food. The prices are extremely affordable, making it worth the trip. I just hope they’ll improve their service so we can enjoy the food as it deserves! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had higher expectations for El Campanario based on the reviews. The food was decent but lacked the punch I anticipated. The service staffs were polite, but we had to ask multiple times for simple things. Overall, it was a good experience, but not as great as I hoped. I might consider returning to give it another shot but would not prioritize it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my visit to El Campanario. While the pozole was good, it didn't have the depth of flavor I was expecting. The place is known for its authentic food, but my experience didn't fully live up to the hype. The service was okay, but again, not what I had hoped for from such a well-reviewed restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very disappointing experience at El Campanario. While the food was decent, I found the service to be terrible. The waitress seemed overwhelmed and forgot our order completely. When the food arrived, it was not what I had requested. The major saving grace was the tortas, which were deliciously rich in flavor and authentic. I may consider revisiting, but only if they improve their service. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at El Campanario is cozy and inviting, making it easy to forget how small the place is. It's a fantastic spot for traditional Mexican dishes. My favorites are the taquitos and pozole, which transport me back to my childhood. Just a heads up—be prepared to wait a bit longer during busy hours, but it's definitely worth the wait!
