" I have to say I was quite disappointed on my last visit to Natalie's. I had high expectations after listening to friends rave about it. But the carne guisada was overly greasy and lacked flavor. Also, the service was slower than anticipated, which detracted from the experience. The atmosphere felt cluttered that day too, not what I expected for a Saturday brunch. For the prices charged, I expected a better experience overall. Maybe I'll give it another chance, but not sure when. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Natalie's, hoping to find a nice local spot for breakfast, but it fell short of expectations. While the ambiance was cheerful and comfortable, the food was just okay. My barbacoa taco was not well-seasoned and the tortillas lacked that fresh homemade taste. The service could have been better too, as it felt like our waitress was overwhelmed. I guess I had high hopes, but I might try another local spot next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Natalie's on a whim, and I was surprised by how tasty the tacos are! I decided to order the barbacoa tacos, and every bite was deliciously spiced. The handmade tortillas really made a difference, and it's evident that they care about the quality of their food here. Staff were also very accommodating, checking on us regularly. The only downside was that it took a bit longer for our food to arrive, but I'd say it was worth the wait. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an interesting experience here. The food generally tastes good, but there were some ups and downs with our orders. On a recent visit, my carne guisada tacos were quite fatty and the tortillas felt a bit stale. However, my partner enjoyed the breakfast burrito, claiming it was flavorful and filling. On the upside, the coffee was fresh, and refills came quickly. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming. I'd say it’s worth a try, but perhaps stick to the breakfast items based on what I've seen. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried quite a few Mexican restaurants around town, but Natalie's holds a special place in my heart. The breakfast tacos here are simply the best. I love that the tortillas taste homemade; you can really taste the difference. I've had the barbacoa tacos too, and if I had one complaint, it was that they could be a little more generous with the meat. The staff was very kind and attentive, making the experience much more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to satisfy their Mexican food cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon recommendation, I finally tried Natalie's. The food was delightful with authentic flavors. I enjoyed the deliciously made barbacoa tacos, which reminded me of the tacos I had in Mexico. The service was prompt and friendly, with staff eager to assist. The only downside was that seating was limited, especially during lunch hours. Regardless, I had a lovely midday meal and would recommend checking it out when in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things about Natalie's, I finally made the trip with my family. We arrived on a Saturday morning and the place was busy, but the wait was worth it. I ordered the huevos rancheros and they were cooked to perfection, with just the right balance of flavors. The fresh guacamole was a highlight, adding an authentic touch. My kids loved their breakfast tacos and finished every bite! The only downside was the service took a bit longer than expected, but our waitress was friendly and the atmosphere was charming. We'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
