" Roman's is a hidden gem for Mexican food lovers. I’ve been coming here for years and the quality has consistently remained high. The carne deshebrada taco is my personal favorite, although I also enjoy their tortas and tacos al pastor. Everything is made fresh to order. However, I've noticed that their prices have spiked recently, which is a disappointment. Still, the food is worth the occasional splurge for me. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Roman's after hearing great things. I ordered the carnitas tacos and they were over-seasoned with salt. I was also surprised to see that they charge for sauces now. The atmosphere was nice, but the service was slow; it took a while to get my order taken. Though I might give it another shot, I left feeling underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Roman's was surprisingly enjoyable. I tried their breakfast burrito and it was hearty and well-made. The atmosphere was simple yet inviting. They even offered a variety of salsas that catered to different heat preferences. The only downside was a slight delay in service. I'd definitely make it a point to come back and sample their other menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I introduced my friends to Roman's, and they were absolutely blown away. Each of them ordered different items, and no one left disappointed. We tried the micheladas and they were fantastic! I think the real highlight was the homemade tamales and their various authentic salsas. The prices are reasonable, especially for what’s offered. I'm definitely taking more people here soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" While we had a decent meal at Roman's, the service left much to be desired. It seemed like the staff was overwhelmed, resulting in long wait times. I tried their famous burritos; they were large and rather tasty, but I wasn't blown away. Despite the food being good, I felt the experience overall was lacking. I may give them another chance, but it won't be soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Roman's has been a favorite of mine for years. Each visit reminds me of the authentic Mexican family recipes that are the cornerstone of their menu. I was impressed with how quickly my meal arrived and how full I felt after eating. My go-to is definitely the tacos al pastor, which come loaded and incredibly flavorful. The salsa options are the cherry on top. No other taqueria comes close in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Roman's last weekend based on a friend's recommendation. I ordered the chile verde burrito and it was packed with flavor! The meat was tender and the salsa added a perfect kick. The ambiance felt quite casual and welcoming, though it was a bit crowded during my visit. The service, although friendly, could be improved; I waited longer than expected. Overall, I would definitely return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
