" I had the pleasure of dining at El Borrego Sagrado #2 for the first time last week, and I was pleasantly surprised! The barbacoa was so flavorful, and you could really tell it was made with a deep understanding of traditional recipes. The handmade tortillas paired wonderfully with the meat. The only downside was that the restaurant was a bit noisy, making it hard to have a conversation. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled across El Borrego Sagrado #2 by chance, and I can say this place is a hidden treasure! The barbacoa is out of this world! The richness in flavor is something I haven't encountered in a long time. The tortillas are just right, soft and warm, enhancing the entire meal. I was in a party of four, and all of us were thrilled with our meals. The ambiance was lively, with great local vibes. Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the flavors of the food were impressive, I experienced mixed service here. My order took a long time to arrive, and I had to remind the server about my drink. The barbacoa was incredibly tasty once I had it, but a little more attention to customers would elevate the experience significantly. The environment was pleasant enough, though quite bustling, which I found charming. Still, I would consider returning due to the amazing flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the misfortune of experiencing poor service at El Borrego Sagrado #2. Although the food was flavorful, my waitress seemed indifferent and forgot my order. I had high hopes for the barbacoa, which I had read so much about, but the wait significantly took away from the experience. The ambiance didn’t help either; it was quite cramped and noisy. Still, the food was undeniably delicious when it arrived. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a beautiful place to drop in for a hearty meal. I found my love for barbacoa here! The seasoning they use is phenomenal! The tortillas are out of this world. However, the service might need some fine-tuning since we had to wait a long time for our food, as the restaurant was busy. Overall, worth the trip just for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at El Borrego Sagrado #2 is absolutely delightful! I specifically loved the tacos de barbacoa with homemade salsas that added unique dimensions to the meal. However, the service could use improvement, as my drink order was forgotten and had to be reminded. Still, the food is winning enough for me to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I return to El Borrego Sagrado #2, I am reminded of how exceptional their food is. The barbacoa is definitely the star of the menu—rich and incredibly flavorful. I also love the chips with fresh salsa; they make for a great appetizer. Service is often lacking during busy times, which can be frustrating, but the quality of the food keeps me coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
