" Mr. Taco offers a pleasant dining experience with a great theme of Mexican culture. The service was fast and accommodating as we enjoyed our orders. I loved their authentic tacos, they were affordable and had a great flavor! I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu! Definitely a good find for anyone looking for a solid Mexican meal without breaking the bank. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is the real deal! The flavors take me back to the streets of Mexico. I particularly loved the Gobernador tacos—so fresh and authentic! The service was a bit slow, but the delicious food made up for it. I also enjoyed the outside seating area, which is great for enjoying live music. Will definitely be coming back for that authentic vibe. One tip: try their horchata; it's simply the best I've had! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to try Mr. Taco after hearing the buzz around it and I wasn't disappointed! The ambiance is fun and vibrant with friendly staff. The tacos we ordered were authentic, huge portions, and absolutely delightful. However, we did experience a little confusion with our order, but the manager quickly resolved it, which I appreciated. Looking forward to visiting again soon to delve deeper into the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience at Mr. Taco. The food was undoubtedly flavorful, although the authenticity felt somewhat compromised with the modern twists on traditional recipes. The chicharron with chips were great, but the quesadillas had an unusual flavor that didn’t sit well with me. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and I loved the outdoor seating. However, my server forgot my order at one point, leading to a long wait. I might consider returning, but definitely with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations when I visited Mr. Taco, having heard it's known for its authenticity. While I was impressed by the handmade tortillas and the al pastor, the service really disappointed me. I waited so long for my order, and I had to remind the waitress about my drink multiple times. That said, if you can manage to deal with the slow service, the food is definitely worth it. The environment is nice, but be prepared for loud music, which can be a bit overwhelming if you're not into it. " (*Curated Review*)

" A group of us went to Mr. Taco for a celebration, expecting good authentic food, and we were not disappointed! The tacos had the perfect crunch with fresh toppings, and the salsa bar offered a nice variety of flavors. Everyone at our table was satisfied with their meals. The ambiance was festive, and we enjoyed the live music. However, the waitstaff seemed busy and inattentive, which led to some lapses in service. Despite this, the atmosphere and food will bring us back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough about Mr. Taco! It is the kind of place where comfort meets authenticity. Their carne asada nachos were amazing! Every bite was filled with layers of flavor. The staff was attentive but not overwhelming, and the place buzzed with energy. It made for a perfect casual evening out. I appreciate restaurants that take pride in their food, and this one does not disappoint. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)
