" I couldn't believe how good the birria tacos were! They exceeded my expectations completely. The staff was kind and took their time explaining the menu. I love that each dish is prepared fresh, and you can truly taste the quality. It’s a must-try if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed with my visit to Pollos el Gordo. While the authenticity is there, the chicken I ordered was bland and the service was not attentive. I had to flag down someone just to order. The ambiance is decent but not enough to offset the food’s lack of seasoning. I might give it another try in the future, but I need to be convinced first. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was slightly underwhelmed. The tacos were good but not worth the hype. The tables were a bit wobbly, and my drink order was forgotten. I wanted to love it, but my experience fell flat. I might give it another shot but not anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our big family enjoyed taco night here and it couldn’t have been better! We ordered a bunch of different tacos and every single one of them was delicious. The cilantro and onion topping complemented each taco perfectly. The staff was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. Can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Pollos el Gordo after reading all the rave reviews, and it did not disappoint! The handmade tortillas are heavenly, and the tacos de birria were melt-in-your-mouth good. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel really welcome. The atmosphere is casual, making it a perfect spot for a laid-back meal with friends. I was especially impressed with the portion sizes for the price. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
