" The barbacoa was rich and flavorful, but I was disappointed with the tamales - they were dry and lacked seasoning. The staff was friendly but the service was slow during peak hours. I hope they can improve on their tamale recipe as the barbacoa is easily one of the best I've tried in town. I will likely visit again—maybe just barbacoa next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but my experience was mixed. While the tamales were good, the barbacoa I ordered had too much grease for my liking. The staff was polite but a bit rushed, perhaps due to the crowd. I'll consider giving it another chance since I've heard such great things about this place, but it wasn't my favorite visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard wonderful things about Martinez Barbacoa, and it did not disappoint! The flavors are rich, the barbacoa melts in your mouth, and you can really tell the difference in quality compared to chain restaurants. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience! It's become our new favorite lunch spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The barbacoa here is phenomenal and has quickly become my favorite spot for Mexican food! The meat is perfectly cooked, and the portion sizes are generous! Service is quick, and the staff is very friendly. I highly suggest their salsa for an extra kick of flavor. I left feeling satisfied and happy—I’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my experience here. While the barbacoa was flavorful, it was a bit greasy for my taste. Staff seemed overwhelmed, and it took a long time to get my order. I hope this was just an off day for them, as I've heard great things about this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is legendary! I’ve been coming here for years and their barbacoa never fails to impress me. Each time, I get a pound, and it’s perfect every single time. It's just a little greasy, but that's how barbacoa should be sometimes! Staff is always friendly, and I love the vibe here—definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic barbacoa, big portions, and great service! This place has become my favorite for weekend brunch with family. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy some delicious food. I can’t recommend it highly enough—definitely on my list for repeat visits! " (*Curated Review*)
