Vibe: Mismatched decor creates confusion

El Curtido’s ambiance feels like a garage sale gone wrong. The mismatched decor and lack of charm leave diners wondering if the restaurant ran out of ideas, overshadowing the food’s appeal with an uninviting vibe.

  • Okay Buzz

    WOM lacks bite-sized context to explain the neutral Buzz sway.

Perks: Inattentive staff slows the experience

Though it’s easy to snag a table, the service at El Curtido can feel like a game of hide and seek—with waitresses missing in action. Delayed refills and inattentiveness detract from an otherwise pleasant meal.
