Review summary
AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cartel offers an "amazing" dining experience with "delicious South American food" and "great drinks choice." Guests rave about the "awesome service" and lively atmosphere, enhanced by salsa lessons. While some found the all-you-can-eat tacos lacking, the staff's warmth and an extensive drink menu make it a "must try."
