" I can't rave enough about how good their tacos are! So many options to choose from, and I love the flavor of the al pastor. Every single bite is packed with perfect seasoning! The only downside is the cash-only policy, so be sure to bring cash along! Overall, I can't recommend El Taco Llama enough for authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
