El Calamar is a restaurant known for its delicious food and good service, making it a suitable place for families to dine. The food is generally good and tasty, with generous and fresh portions such as molcajete mix, seafood molcajete, Agua chile, and burrito de care asada. Customers appreciate the friendly service, with waitstaff like Paola providing polite and excellent attention, even going the extra mile by bringing a birthday ice cream cake. Although some find the prices a bit high and note that a 20% gratuity is automatically added, many still choose to return because of the good quality and convenient location. The atmosphere is decent, and parking is available, though some customers feel the atmosphere can be a bit cold. Overall, El Calamar remains a reliable spot for seafood and family meals.
