" I stumbled upon Tacos y Huaraches El Gordo a month ago and have been back three times since! Their al pastor tacos are the best I’ve had in town—juicy with just the right amount of spice. The ambiance is lively, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. Service is consistently good, but sometimes there's a slight wait. Overall, I would recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic Mexican food. You won’t be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! This place feels like a slice of Mexico. My favorite dish was the quesabirria tacos, which were bursting with flavor and came with a rich consome to dip them in. I even took home leftovers, which tasted just as good the next day! The staff is always cheerful and accommodating. I highly recommend trying the huaraches if you get the chance! It's a little gem in town that deserves the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here during lunch and was blown away by how delicious the food is! The quesabirria tacos were phenomenal! It was a bit crowded, but I expected that based on how amazing the food is. Fantastic experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just average for me. I tried the taco plate and I found them to be under seasoned. The dining area was clean and pleasant, but the wait times were longer than expected. I loved the decor, though. Not sure if I’d recommend it for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have never tasted such authentic Mexican food in this area. The flavors burst in every bite, especially the carne asada tacos. The atmosphere is vibrant, perfect for casual dining or hanging out with friends. I recommend the birria tacos as well, they were crispy and packed with flavor. The service is fast, and the staff is very friendly! Totally worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)
