" Tacos 1986 has become one of my favorite taco spots in the city. The flavors are robust, and their attention to the authenticity of their dishes truly shines. The guacamole and salsa bar are must-tries. I usually take my tacos to go due to limited seating, but it’s always worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by Tacos 1986! The carne asada vampiro is a must-try; perfectly crispy and stuffed with juicy meat and flavorful guacamole. The attention to detail is noticeable—everything tasted fresh and homemade. This will definitely be a regular spot for me moving forward. I also appreciate how they uniquely incorporate flavors into their recipes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful time at Tacos 1986. I ordered a variety of tacos, and while the adobada stood out as the star, the carne asada was a little bland for my taste. Still, the fresh ingredients and fun ambiance made for a great lunch experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Almost perfect! I absolutely loved the taco de adobada. Full of flavor and freshness, it reminded me of the street tacos I had in Mexico. If I could change anything, I would want better seating arrangements because it can be a bit cramped during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hit or miss experience for me. On my first visit, the tacos were phenomenal, but on my second visit, the service was dreadfully slow, and my order was wrong. I appreciate the good flavors, but consistency could be improved. " (*Curated Review*)
