" Was really craving some authentic tacos and heard Taqueria Express has great reviews. I was not disappointed! The tacos were unlike any I’ve tasted in a long time. The salsa was fresh and added the correct punch with every bite. The staff were super friendly and helped guide me through their menu. I can safely say I will be returning soon. Plus, the prices are fantastic for the quality you receive! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is the real deal for authentic tacos! I had the pastor and asada, and both were juicy and well-seasoned. The service could not have been friendlier; the staff treated us like we were regulars, which was refreshing. Although the seating is minimal, it carries a fun, casual vibe, making it great to eat outdoors in nice weather. Will definitely come back for more tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much hype about Taqueria Express, I made the trip and I must say, it lives up to the reputation! The carne asada was juicy and cooked to perfection! The freshness of the ingredients stood out, as did the kindness of the staff. However, I must advise to bring cash, as they do not accept cards. Aside from that, I had a great time and will definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best tacos in town, that’s for sure! Tried the al pastor and it was perfectly seasoned, with generous portions. Parking was easy, and the staff was hospitable. I really enjoyed the warm vibe of the place, although more covered seating would have been appreciated. I would highly recommend Taqueria Express to anyone looking for a flavorful meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a find! I knew I was in for a treat when I saw the food truck, and it definitely lived up to the hype! Their tacos are the epitome of good street food. I've never tasted anything like their handmade tortillas; they were divine! The staff made great suggestions and were sincere in their service. I am so glad I stopped here, and I'll be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Taqueria Express! The mulitas were to die for—so cheesy and packed with beef! Plus, you can’t go wrong with the pickled carrots that come as a side; they’re a perfect complement to any dish. The staff here are genuine and truly care about your experience. I’ll definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting! Just a heads up, make sure you come with cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're seeking out real Mexican flavor, look no further! The asada burrito was my culinary highlight of the week, stuffed generously and packed with flavor that brought a taste of home. The staff made me feel welcome and were attentive to our needs. The atmosphere is nice, though I might suggest more seating options for bigger groups. Overall, 10/10! " (*Curated Review*)
