" I had heard good things about Fandango, and my experience didn't disappoint! The food was fresh and flavorful. I tried the tacos al pastor, and they were heavenly. The bonus was the lovely decor and atmosphere, making the whole meal enjoyable. However, I did have a bit of a wait for the food when it got busy. Some of the service staff seemed overwhelmed. I will definitely try again next time as the food was worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fandango is great for a casual night out! The food is good, but it really shines when you share multiple dishes—everything is full of fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. I especially enjoyed the chips and salsa. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and I appreciate that you can bring your own drinks. I will definitely come back soon to explore more options on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a really enjoyable time at Fandango last weekend. The service was commendable; the staff was attentive without being overwhelming. The highlight for me was the queso dip—it was perfectly creamy and paired with fresh tortilla chips. For main course, I had the steak fajitas, which were sizzling and full of flavor. The only negative was small portion sizes but it certainly didn’t lack in taste. Looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant based on the rave reviews, but my experience was mixed. The ambience was fantastic, and I loved the decor. However, I felt that my chicken fajitas were pretty underwhelming. The chicken was overcooked and there wasn't enough seasoning. I also had to wait quite a while for my server to check in on me. Overall, I might give them another shot for the sake of their nachos, but my first visit was disappointing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fandango is such a gem! My partner and I visited last weekend and tried a mix of appetizers and main courses. The guacamole was fresh, and the chips were served warm, which is a small detail I really appreciate. The staff treated us like family, always checking in to ensure we were satisfied. Although it was a weekend and the place was packed, the staff maintained their cool and delivered great service. Can't wait to return for some more of their dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an awful experience with my takeout order. I was looking forward to enjoying the advertised flavor-packed burrito, but what I received was bland and disappointing. The beans were undercooked and cold, and there was hardly any meat. I understand every restaurant can have an off day, but for the prices they charge, I expected way better quality. I won’t be ordering takeaway again soon after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Fandango with some friends last night, and it was quite delightful! The shrimp tacos were perfectly cooked and flavorful, and I couldn’t get enough of the homemade salsa. The tables had a colorful and welcoming set-up. The staff was prompt and handled our large group with ease, showcasing excellent service. Only downside was that it got a bit noisy as the night went on. Despite that, I felt right at home and will definitely return for another round soon! " (*Curated Review*)
