" While the food was pretty good, I had a lot of mishaps during my visit. From getting my order mixed up to the wait time being longer than expected. I appreciate the flavors and freshly made tortillas, but I believe the service needs an improvement course. Definitely not a total loss, just needs some polish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to a lot of taco trucks around town, but Taqueria Portillo is something special. The flavors are authentic, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. The only issue I noticed was the cleanliness of the area around the food truck, which could certainly use a bit of attention. Other than that, the service was good, and the staff were friendly, making my overall experience quite favorable! I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally tried the famed Taqueria Portillo! I wasn’t disappointed! Their tacos are seriously some of the best I've had in the area. The portions are just right and come with various salsas that elevate the flavors even more. The only reason I won’t give a full score is because I feel seats would add a nice touch, as it’s a bit hard eating in the car at times. However, overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria Portillo offers a wide range of delicious options. I particularly enjoyed their breakfast tacos; the flavors were spot on! The only downside was waiting a bit for my order, but it’s understandable given how busy they were. I appreciate their use of fresh vegetables and high-quality meat, which made a noticeable difference in flavor. I’ll recommend them to friends who are looking for tasty and authentic food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn’t impressed. The food was decent but didn’t have that authentic kick I expected. While the presentation of the food was good, the taste fell a bit flat. The lady serving seemed overwhelmed and didn’t pay much attention to details. I ended up leaving feeling underwhelmed overall. I hope they can improve because I really wanted to like this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I tried Taqueria Portillo, I was blown away with how fresh the ingredients tasted. I got the carne asada tacos, and I could literally taste the quality in the meat. However, I was disappointed with the service, as it felt rushed, and the cashier was not very friendly. If the service matched the quality of the food, I would have easily given them a five-star rating. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express how much I love this food truck! Every time I visit, I order the tacos and they are always perfect. The freshness of the ingredients is what sets them apart from most. The staff always greet you with a smile that counts for a lot. If I had to criticize, I'd say have your credit card ready because that line gets long, but it's worth the wait! Fantastic overall!
