" As a lover of traditional Mexican food, I wanted to try El Campanario after hearing so many good things. I was not disappointed! The pozole was rich, hearty, and filled with flavor. The ambiance was warm, and while small, it felt welcoming. My only complaint is that because it's so popular, there was a bit of a wait on busy nights. But those tacos and enchiladas? Definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic! El Campanario serves the best tacos I’ve ever tasted. They’re simply loaded with flavor and authenticity. It's not the largest place, but the atmosphere feels warm and inviting. I could sit there for hours enjoying the food. The only downside was the wait time, but it speaks volumes to how popular this place is. Keep up the great work! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Campanario is a cozy little gem that offers some of the most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in years! Their tacos are to die for, and the enchiladas are bursting with flavor. Every dish seems prepared with love and care. Only downside is the seating—it can feel cramped at peak hours. I also appreciate the affordable prices that don't compromise on quality. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want a taste of true Mexican culinary artistry, look no further than El Campanario. The flavors are genuinely reminiscent of home-cooked meals, taking me back to my family's dinners in Mexico. I particularly loved their pozole, though I could see how it might not appeal to everyone—it's traditional and not overly seasoned, allowing the fresh ingredients to shine. Just be mindful of the table limits; it gets busy quickly. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was left feeling mixed about my visit to El Campanario. The food itself was delicious, with a fantastic tasting pozole, but the service left something to be desired. We felt neglected at times, which detracted from the meal. If they can improve their service, it could easily become one of my go-to places in Tijuana. " (*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!
