" Had a nice dinner with my friends at Tacos El Norte. While the food was good, I personally found it to be slightly overpriced for what you get. The tacos were tasty, but I expected them to be more packed with filling. However, the service was excellent and the ambiance was cozy, perfect for a laid-back evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Tacos El Norte last week, and I was pleasantly surprised! The variety of menu items available caters to everyone. I had the chicken enchiladas, and while they were not the best I’ve had, they certainly hit the spot. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes. My only complaint was that it took a bit longer to receive our food, but the friendly ambiance made up for it. I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)
