" We loved the birria tacos here, such a tasty experience! The freshness of the ingredients was notable, and the portion size comfortable, though I may have wanted a bit more! The vibrant outdoor seating area gives a great atmosphere to enjoy tacos on a beautiful day. The servers are polite and ensure your experience is great. It definitely feels like a place I’d come back to time and again for that special taco craving! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Taqueria El Michoacano after hearing so many great things and was really looking forward to it. The tacos I tried were good, but !'m not sure they lived up to the hype. Portions were decent considering the price, but I felt like they could be a bit more generous. Service was friendly, but I noticed some delays during peak hours, which didn't help the experience. The outdoor seating was nice, but it gets a bit crowded. Overall, I might come back, but I’ll have to try something other than the birria tacos next time. They seem to be a hit or miss. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Taqueria El Michoacano while looking for a late lunch. It was a sunny day, and the little outdoor setup was perfect. I ordered the barbacoa and was blown away by the flavor! The only downside was the portion size—it could have used a bit more meat—but the taste made up for it. The service was lovely and made me feel welcome. A great find if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" The birria tacos were an absolute delight! Rich flavors, tender meat, and the consome paired perfectly with the tacos. It was my first visit, and definitely not my last. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for authentic Mexican cuisine! I love that it feels like you're stepping into a local retirement built for tourists but delivers genuine tastes. It sure transported me back to my grandmother's kitchen. Plus, they have a great outdoor seating area that's perfect for sunny days! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food poisoning from this place! I ordered a variety of tacos to share with friends, and we all ended up sick. The food had potential, but it lacked the freshness we'd expect from a taco truck that's well recommended. To make matters worse, the service was dismissive when I reported the issues we had with the meal. I can’t say I’d return, and it’s disappointing, given the reputation. I’d suggest they check their meats for freshness to avoid future incidents. This was not the experience I was hoping for. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I pass through Waco, I make a stop at Taqueria El Michoacano. The birria tacos are honestly the best I've ever had! I love that they use traditional goat meat, and the flavor is just unbeatable. Each taco is loaded with meat and comes with a lovely side of consome that complements it nicely. The service staff are always cheery and welcoming, and I appreciate the cleanliness of the outdoor seating area. If you're in the area and enjoy authentic Mexican food, make this place a priority on your list! A true gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience! The birria tacos are always my go-to; they're mouth-watering delicious! The service is friendly, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. I’ve been here multiple times, and it's consistently great. I appreciate that the prices are affordable for what you get. Taqueria El Michoacano has a unique charm that will keep me coming back.
