" I went there for the famous birria tacos and was quite impressed! The flavor was authentic, and the broth complemented the tacos beautifully. It's easy to see why these tacos received such hype. My only concern was the portion size and wanting more! I'd recommend going there with friends so you can share a variety of dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos are to die for! The flavors are genuine and transport me back to my childhood. The birria tacos are my favorite, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Even on busy nights, they do their best to provide great service. It’s easy to forgive any minor wait because the food quality is off the charts. Highly recommend trying the quesabiria. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Norteño for the first time last week, encouraged by my friends' rave reviews. The atmosphere is lively, and the taco truck is charming. However, I noticed that my taco portion was smaller than expected, which was disappointing. I had the birria tacos, and though the flavor was great, I can't help but feel unsatisfied by the size. The service was decent, but it was busy when I went. I plan to return and try more from their menu, hoping for bigger portions! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best experience I ever had at a food truck! I tried their quesabiria, and it was mouthwatering. The portion was generous, and you can feel the love in the ingredients. The ambience is definitely relaxed, and the staff were quick to handle my order—totally worth the wait. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking authentic Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a terrible experience at El Norteño. They mixed up our order, and the tacos were not very satisfying. I thought I was getting authentic birria tacos, but they didn't measure up. The atmosphere is lively, and I appreciate the staff's effort, but it fell short this time. I’m hoping this was just a one-off experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Norteño is definitely a favorite of mine! I always go for their flautas and tacos, which speak volumes to authenticity. The service is usually good, though they can get busy and it might take a while to get your food at peak times. Nonetheless, it's always worth it to have such tasty food! I can’t recommend them enough for craving traditional Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I feel like I stumbled into taco heaven at El Norteño! My first bite into their birria tacos took me straight to Mexico. The fresh corn tortillas are heavenly, and the meat is rich and flavorful. The only downside is they can get quite busy and you may need to wait a bit for your food. But trust me, it's worth every moment. Such an incredible experience, I can’t wait to return!
