" The service was a bit slow, and I was disappointed there were no vegetarian options that looked appealing. The atmosphere was loud, almost bustling, which can be charming. However, the carne asada tacos were good, though I did expect more from the vegetarian torta based on other reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited El Anzuelo after hearing great reviews, and I must say, the food did not disappoint! I sampled the tacos and they were fresh and flavorful. However, the service was a bit slow, which took away from the overall experience. Still, worth visiting for the food alone! Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love El Anzuelo for its authentic take on Mexican cuisine. The taco selection was delightful, especially with the addition of great sides. The service could have been more efficient, especially during busy hours, but I will overlook it for the quality of the food. I plan to try more of their dishes next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
