" Every time I come to Hector's, I leave with a smile on my face! Their tacos are amazing, especially the steak ones. I appreciate that they are generous with the toppings too, and the homemade salsa is a perfect addition. However, I noticed the wait time can vary a lot depending on the time of night, which is slightly frustrating when you're super hungry. In the end, though, I can't argue with the quality of the food—fairly priced and delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hector's has fantastic tacos that I crave frequently! The flavors are phenomenal, especially late at night when not much else is open. My only downside was that it took time to get my order sorted out after a mix-up. Nevertheless, I highly recommend their tacos and the environment that surrounds it. It’s a must-try if you enjoy Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was excited to try this food truck after hearing so many great things. The ambiance is nice for a food truck, but I found the tacos to be average. They did provide large portions, but I expected more depth in flavors. I also had a mix-up with my order that took a long time to resolve. I feel like with some tweaks, this place could shine, but for now, it was just okay for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such high expectations for Hector's after all the recommendations. The first time I visited, I was blown away by the food! The burrito I ordered was large and flavorful, but I did have to wait longer than I expected. I think it was worth it in the end since their cheese is fantastic! I can't wait to go back and try their tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed bag experience here. The tacos themselves were delicious with that homemade feeling, but I encountered an unfriendly staff member when asking about my order. As a new customer, it made the experience a little less welcoming. On my return visit, though, I hope that their friendliness matches the quality of the food because I really enjoyed it.

" I love everything about Hector's! The food is consistently fresh and delicious. I tried their enchiladas last time and they were phenomenal. The staff could work a bit on efficiency, as my last visit included a long wait. However, the food quality is top-notch, and I believe it's worth the hassle! I’m looking forward to trying more of their dishes on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hector's Mexican Food definitely has its highs and lows. I enjoyed the carne asada tacos, but the service was very slow during my visit, likely due to the large crowd. The seating is also a downside, as it’s just a food truck setup. However, the food quality was good enough for me to overlook the other issues. If you are patient and love authentic tacos, it's worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)
