" I came across Tacos 1986 while wandering downtown and decided to give it a try. The mushroom tacos are absolutely fantastic! They were loaded with flavor, and I love how they prepare their tortillas fresh on site. The only downside is the seating arrangement, but I will return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Authenticity at its best! Tacos 1986 boasted some of the best tacos I've tasted outside of Mexico. The adobada was juicy and bursting with flavor. While the atmosphere isn’t fancy, the food makes it worthwhile. Get there before the lines get long! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations going into Tacos 1986, but I found the food to be just average. Though the adobada taco had its moments of flavor, it lacked the consistency I was hoping for. The service, while friendly, was also quite slow. I wished for a better experience, especially considering the buzz around this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply delicious! Stopped here after a concert and absolutely loved the tacos. The adobada was seasoned perfectly, and the guacamole gave it just the right touch. I also tried the mushroom tacos, which were surprisingly flavorful and could easily be my favorite now. Be prepared for a wait, as it's a popular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m here to say that Tacos 1986 is legit! The adobada taco blew my mind with its robust flavors and hearty filling. Plus, the tortillas were ridiculously good. A bit on the expensive side for the portion sizes, but worth every cent for the quality. Definitely a must-try! " (*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*)
