Food: Freshness sells, chinks overwhelm

Count on the Fish Ceviche, bursting with freshness and generously packed with fish, to have your tastebuds tango. Sway into the unique warmth of the Shrimp and Octopus Cocktail, exalted as distinctively flavorful. The Shrimp Tacos, though tricky to snag, are usually a hit. However, the generosity in portions can sometimes swing towards being overwhelming. Despite that, customers are often raving about the fresh, high-quality ingredients and the bang for their buck.

Vibe: Crisp ambiance, sagging spirits

Be prepared for a potentially clamorous dining experience. The restaurant's interior is small and can get rather noisy, disrupting the dining ambiance. And if you're anticipating a fresh cocktail to help you wind down, brace for disappointment as the drinks come bottled or canned.

  • Bad Drinks

    Drinks only come bottled or canned, lacking freshness.

Perks: Parking chaos, fair service

El Pollero 95 provides swift service with a friendly staff. On the other hand, the restaurant seems to oscillate between quality of food and service. Seating is limited, especially on weekends when parking can also be challenging. Those arriving in groups may have to cozy up, sharing tables in a picnic-style setup.

  • Okay Service

    Fast service and friendly staff but food quality and service varied.

  • Bad For Groups

    Limited seating, may share tables, constricted picnic style noted.
