Vibe: Unassuming space with potential

However, the vibe presents a stark contradiction to the culinary brilliance. The interior screams 'small', 'mismatched', and 'unassuming', begging for a glow-up. Yet in its own unique way, El Curtido provides an ambiance that could be endearing to those who prioritize food over frills.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Mismatched decor, needs updating, described as small and unassuming.

Perks: Service glitches harmful

The service is where El Curtido stumbles. Waitresses can sometimes be inattentive leading to delayed refills and appearing neglectful. Rightly so, this has warranted some negative remarks. A call to attention to this subtle yet impactful aspect could really tighten the ship at El Curtido.
