Review by Destin Lang

El Quino is a true gem in Tucson! 🌟 The seafood here is exceptional; I tried the specialty oysters, and they were an explosion of flavor - fresh oysters topped with uncooked shrimp, scallops, and avocado.

I also enjoyed the Pollo Tacos Dorado and Beef Gorditas, both impressively presented and scrumptious. The atmosphere is cozy and casual, making it perfect for a laid-back meal.

The service was attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Plus, the ambiance was enhanced by local vendors selling unique homemade items on Friday nights. I’m eager to return for that seafood tower! 🦪🌮
