RED LOBSTER AURORA REVIEWS

My girlfriend and I came in to try Red Lobster for the first time, and we were honestly really impressed. The food was great, and the service was top-notch. We ordered a couple of drinks and sampled a variety of dishes. I especially want to give a shoutout to our server, Javi, who was super knowledgeable and patient with us, which we really appreciated as first-timers. He managed to take great care of us while also providing excellent service to the other tables around us. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back, requesting Javi again, and trying more of the dishes we didn’t get to this time.

This was the best meal I’ve had in a long time! Service was GREAT and food was very tasty. Would definitely recommend Ask for Tay as a server if you can.

Erin was such a great server! And the food was excellent, I had the fantastic feast and it was indeed fantastic. Erin was very attentive and was quick to realize when our drinks were running low. I hope we get her again.

MUCHACHO ALEGRE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

one of the best places in the area to get margaritas or drinks in general. the bartender, the service, the food. always good, every time. free freshly made ceviche when you sit. this spot is a must go too. I’ve had a number of dishes and I recommend it all. the only thing is the prices. I wish they had more deals on drinks. But besides that, 10 out of 10 for me.

I absolutely love this place. The food is amazing, atmosphere is superb. Me encanta. Maribel and Jose Luis are incredible. I had an amazing time and cannot wait to go back. They are great hosts with great food and great drinks. 10/10!.

Delicious! So nice to have an upscale seafood place in Aurora. This is the place to go for Mexican Seafood.

EL CAPITAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

If you are looking for a place that offers fresh seafood, juicy steaks and flavorful pastas this is the place to visit! Not to mention delicious cocktails and great customer service! Everyone is very welcoming you feel right at home! Aside from a great selection of food this restaurant also offers live entertainment- well known live bands on Friday nights, DJ’s on Saturday nights and Mariachi band on Sundays! 10/10! Highly recommend.

Was an excellent choice we ordered Margaritas, it's a pretty large one thst tasted good.Their food was impressive. I had the barria tacos so good. Victoria our waitress answered all our questions and told us they have mariachis on Sundays. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely go back.

Food was great! I had arrachera dinner and it was cooked to perfection. As my first mother's day it was a great experience. Especially when the mariachi plays in the restaurant! I would definitely come again.
