The carne en su jugo was really good. Chips and salsa... chips were fresh and crispy.

The other day I ordered a vegetarian torta and they literally just gave me a piece of bread with lettuce…. The lady couldn’t even believe me when I called about it, yeah me either lady. I was beyond angry & disappointed

I’ve eaten at El Anzuelo several times now, and every dish I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious! Their seafood is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff is always welcoming and attentive, and the food comes out quickly—even during busy times. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican seafood with great service, this place is a must-visit! Also as an avid horchata drinker. I’m always satisfied with the quality.
