" The good: very fast service and personable staff. The bad: I was not a fan of the chicken tacos at all—they tasted bland to me. I thought they would be bursting with flavors like everyone claimed. The fresh salsas helped a bit, but didn't fully save the dish. I'd come back for the burritos, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Coming from a location with vibrant taco culture, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tacos here! The asada tacos were cooked perfectly, and I really enjoyed the intricate flavors. The wait staff were friendly and accommodating. I didn't care too much for the ambiance, as it felt a bit cramped, but the food certainly makes up for that. I will surely drop by whenever I am in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is worth the hype! Each taco comes loaded with fresh ingredients and exploding with flavor. The online ordering was a breeze as well, which is a huge bonus for busy weekdays. If you're craving authentic and affordable Mexican, make Pollos Asados El Norteño your first stop. I will certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I would say the food lives up to the expectations. The variety of menu items kept us intrigued. I had the chiles rellenos which were fantastic. However, the wait time was a bit longer than expected. Overall, I'd definitely return to continue sampling their distinctive flavors. They have something here! " (*Curated Review*)

" You seriously cannot beat the flavor at Pollos Asados El Norteño! Their carne asada tacos give you everything you want—fresh, tender, and filling. I'd recommend trying their various salsas too; they nicely complement any dish. The atmosphere is casual, but honestly, the food is what keeps me coming back. Definitely a local favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The breakfast tacos are to die for, especially with the homemade tortillas. The flavors are authentic and remind me of my grandma's cooking. The only downside is sometimes there's a wait, but it's totally worth it for such great food. I've become a regular here and recommend it to everyone. " (*Curated Review*)

" This spot is a hidden gem! The first time I tried their pollo asado, I couldn't believe how juicy and flavorful it was. The salsas are fresh and add the perfect kick to the meal. It's the best value in Austin for Mexican food—I'm already planning my next visit. Definitely recommend for families as their portions are generous. " (*Curated Review*)
