" I was pleasantly surprised by my visit to Taqueria el Mexicano. The food was flavorful with an assortment of authentic options. The ambiance made me feel like I was in a cozy spot in Mexico. The service was friendly, though a bit slow since it was busy. I tried their shrimp tacos and they didn’t disappoint! I will return for sure, but maybe during a less crowded time to fully enjoy the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly disappointed with my experience here. I visited hoping for an authentic taste but found the tacos to be bland, lacking in the flavors typically associated with Mexican cuisine. The service was decent, but we had to wait quite a long time for our meal. On the bright side, the place was clean and had a good atmosphere. I wouldn't rule out giving it another shot but will certainly think twice before returning. Maybe I just caught them on an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Total rip-off. The food is overpriced for what you get. I ordered a hefty plate but was disappointed by the quality. The flavors were bland, and the service left much to be desired. I felt rushed and pushed out, which spoiled the experience. I do not plan on returning and would recommend trying out other options in the area instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t get enough of the food here! Every taco is crafted with care using fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is lively and embodies the essence of a traditional Mexican cantina. Wait staff is friendly and ensures you have what you need without hovering. I often bring friends here, and every one of them has praised the food as some of the best they've ever tasted. Don't skip the horchata; it's a must-have! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, if you're in Lafayette, look no further! This restaurant is a total gem. Their food is second to none. I savored every bite of my birria tacos; they are so flavorful and comforting. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for both dine-in and takeout. The staff was friendly and helpful, and I had a fantastic experience overall. I highly recommend the coconut margarita too; it’s divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was really looking forward to eating at this restaurant after reading fantastic reviews, but I must say it was mediocre. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't exceptional either. The tacos seemed a bit greasy, and the flavors just didn't pop as I expected. The drink choices were decent but not remarkable. Service was okay; felt like they could have been more attentive. I might try again, but probably won’t go out of my way for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was almost perfect! The tacos had an authentic taste and especially loved their handmade tortillas. However, the service was a bit slow, but the staff was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has a nice vibe, and it felt cared-for. The only downside is that it can get a bit crowded during peak hours. A bit of patience is needed for service, but the food makes it worthwhile. I would certainly go back but during off-peak times. " (*Curated Review*)
