" While I've had better burritos elsewhere, Pavlos holds a special place in my heart. The Justin Burrito is a local classic, and they definitely don't skimp on ingredients. The only complaint I have is the inconsistency depending on who's in the kitchen. Still, a great spot overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for good tacos, you've found the right place. Pavlos does a great job of providing fresh ingredients while keeping the prices reasonable. I’ll be back for sure, maybe next week! " (*Curated Review*)
