" The overall vibe of Taquería El Alteño is enjoyable. I found the moles to be incredibly flavorful. However, the service needs refinement as we encountered some mistakes in our orders. Despite this, the ambiance and food quality made it a decent dining experience, one that I might repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, Taquería El Alteño offered a great dining experience. The food was fresh, authentic, and flavorful; I couldn’t have asked for better. The service was attentive throughout the meal, and even the atmosphere felt lively. I can’t wait to come back and try some of the other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" In my recent visit to Taquería El Alteño, I was impressed by the array of options on the menu. I opted for the lengua tacos and a side of elote, both of which were bursting with authentic flavors that took me back to my grandmother's kitchen. The only downside was the slow service. However, the food made the wait worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my last visit, I experienced a long wait for my food, which was disappointing. However, once the tacos arrived, my mood improved significantly! They were rich in flavor, and the handmade tortillas were a lovely surprise. The decor in the restaurant is charming and very welcoming, making it a nice place to spend time with friends or family despite the service hiccup. I plan to return, hoping for a quicker service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place had great reviews, but I was disappointed with my meal. The enchiladas were more cheese than anything else and lacked flavor. Even though the service was friendly and attentive, the food didn't meet my expectations. I might give it another shot based on other reviews, but it leaves me unsure after this visit. " (*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*)
