" This is my go-to Mexican restaurant. I love the variety of authentic dishes. The carne asada fries are my favorite, and I crave them often. The atmosphere is casual and friendly. Only drawback is that it can get crowded, and finding parking can be a hassle sometimes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quick satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited the restaurant twice last month, and I must admit that the consistency is there! The first time, I enjoyed a hefty burrito; the second time, I tried the flautas. Both were tasty, though the flautas lacked a little in crunch. Overall, the food is authentic, and I appreciate the generous portions! I will continue to be a loyal customer. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Taquería El Alteño with my family, and we loved it! The children enjoyed the cheese quesadillas, while my partner tried the carne asada burrito. Everything was fresh and well-seasoned. The only complaint was that it was a bit noisy, but that didn't detract from our overall experience. We're definitely planning to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The last time I visited, my carne asada was slightly overcooked, and the portion felt a tad smaller than expected. The flavor was still okay, but I was left wanting more. I appreciate the effort from the staff, but the inconsistency of the food is something they need to address in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taquería El Alteño is fantastic! I went there last week, and the amount of food I received was impressive for the price. The tacos are simply the best. The staff were friendly and seemed to enjoy their work, which added to the positive dining experience. I would recommend this restaurant any day, especially if you're craving authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in a lively setting, Taquería El Alteño is the place to be! I went during a busy hour, but the staff worked diligently to accommodate customers. The tacos were exceptional and well-portioned. I can't wait to visit again and try other menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Taquería El Alteño multiple times, and I've mostly enjoyed my meals. The flavors are rich, and the dishes remind me of my childhood meals. I had the chimichanga recently, and it was delicious! However, there was an issue with a dirty table during my last visit, and the service could have been quicker. Nevertheless, I'd still recommend this place for the food. " (*Curated Review*)
