" Big Wig Tacos is a perfect late-night gem! I love coming in after a night out. It’s always clean, the staff is friendly, and the quesadillas are to die for! I usually go for the barbacoa or chicken and load them up with their spicy salsa, which is fantastic! I do wish the prices weren’t so high, but you get what you pay for; this place is a keeper! " (*Curated Review*)

" Big Wig Tacos has established itself as one of the best taco spots around! Their selection is vast, with various meats and toppings. I've personally enjoyed the fish tacos and found the salsa a delightful accompaniment. Service is also usually friendly, and the pick-up times are commendable. While I believe their prices are slightly on the higher side, the quality keeps me returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to hand it to Big Wig, they know how to serve up a good taco! The fish tacos were fantastic, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. I also want to shout out the friendly staff who made the experience pleasant. Definitely a worthwhile stop if you're in the area and hungry! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings when I visited Big Wig Tacos. The food was decent but lacked the authenticity I expected, especially for a place specializing in tacos. My chicken taco was a bit bland, and I felt it could use more seasoning. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and accommodating though the wait time was a little long during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Big Wig based on all the buzz, but it fell short of my expectations. The burrito was decent—nothing too exciting, and the flavors felt muted. Service was friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed during my visit, which perhaps affected the food quality. I might try again to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I had a very underwhelming experience at Big Wig Tacos. I stopped by after hearing great things, but both my steak and chicken tacos were overcooked and lacked the seasoning I was looking for. The restaurant had a nice vibe, but I was expecting much more from the food. I’ll probably give it another shot in the future, but it wasn’t my best dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently ordered takeout from Big Wig, and while the tacos were tasty, they didn’t leave quite the impression I hoped for. They came wrapped well, but the flavors felt muted. Service during pick-up was polite, but I think I’ll try dining in next time to see if the experience differs. " (*Curated Review*)
