" Oh my goodness, I absolutely loved Uncle Goyo's! I had the steak tacos and my partner had burritos. Both meals were amazing! The flavors were lively and authentic, transporting us directly to Mexico. The staff was friendly although busy, and they made sure to check on us often. The decor was colorful and full of character, which added to the experience. We highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Uncle Goyo's expecting great food and I was not disappointed. The chicken enchiladas were fantastic—full of flavor and freshness. We ordered the guacamole made tableside and it was deliciously smooth with the right amount of lime. The service was decent, nothing too extraordinary but certainly attentive. The environment had a lovely Mexican decor which made the place inviting. Overall, this will definitely be on my list of favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was incredibly pleased with my visit to Uncle Goyo's! The moment I walked in, the ambiance struck me as inviting and stylish. I ordered the Tacos N Ganas and they genuinely blew me away—so much flavor with each bite! The table-side guacamole is a delightful touch; no one can resist fresh guacamole made right in front of you! Despite the slight wait for my drinks, the staff was apologetic and friendly throughout. This was hands down the best Mexican food in Memphis I've had this year! Will definitely return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had! From the time we walked in, everything felt off. The server seemed overwhelmed and it took way too long to get our dinner orders. My tacos were bland and the cheese dip was watery; I couldn’t believe it. I even overheard another table questioning their food quality. The atmosphere was nice, but that alone cannot salvage a poor meal. I won't be coming back, ever! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for the street tacos and wow, they did not disappoint! The freshness was evident in every bite. Our server was attentive, and the ambiance was lively, making for a pleasant experience. Everything tasted authentic and had the right amount of seasoning. While it was a bit on the pricier side for tacos, they were worth every penny. I'm already recommending this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Uncle Goyo's was hit or miss. The atmosphere was lovely, really chic for a Mexican restaurant. My friend and I ordered a variety of tacos but sadly found them to be overcooked and lacking seasoning. The best part was the fresh guacamole, made right at our table. I felt the price point was a bit high compared to the food quality, but there were good service moments. Perhaps we just visited on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" An intriguing dining experience! Uncle Goyo’s combines fresh ingredients with traditional Mexican flavors for a unique twist. We were fortunate to enjoy their famous tacos and a cilantro margarita, which was refreshing. The ambiance was lively, attracting a fun crowd. The only downside was the portion sizes; while tasty, they could be more generous. Overall, a nice restaurant to visit with friends! " (*Curated Review*)
