" Unfortunately, my experience was less than stellar. I ordered a couple of tacos and they were decent, but just didn’t live up to the hype for me. The service was friendly but a bit slow, and the place was crowded, making it hard to fully enjoy my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, the food is pretty good but I have to agree with some other reviews. The tacos were smaller than expected compared to the price. It still tasted good, but I think they could improve portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Sauz is my new favorite spot! The service was incredibly welcoming and the food was authentic. I had their steak tacos and they were full of flavor, especially with their homemade salsa on top. It’s a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was okay, nothing memorable. The tacos were more like a fast-food version than authentic street tacos. The place was busy and kind of noisy, which didn't help my experience. I might give it another shot, but I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this place, but I had a quite underwhelming experience. My chilaquiles were soggy, and the staff seemed focused on taking care of larger groups rather than individual customers. It was just okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit, and I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were fantastic! The meat was well seasoned and had a beautiful char. The service was quick and friendly, and the horchata was a perfect balance of sweetness. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
