" Good food overall, but I had some issues with my order. They got it wrong and didn't seem too eager to make it right. The tacos were still tasty, but I did expect better service. I would still come back for the food because it's pretty consistent and well-priced, even if the service isn’t the best. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos were delicious but packed too tightly for my liking. The flavors were melded a bit, and I could only taste the meat. Suggestions for more sauce options would improve the experience. I enjoyed the ambiance and quick service, though. I'll likely check out their other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just a great taco place. I recently had the al pastor and it was irresistible! The right amount of spices and tenderness made it a delight. I may just end up making this place a weekly treat. The casual environment adds to the charm as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" The salsa roja is about the best I’ve ever had! If you love spicy, make sure you ask for it. The tacos were good, but a bit smaller than I anticipated. All considered, this spot is still worth a visit being reliable for great Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here after hearing so much hype! Wasn’t disappointed at all. Authentic tacos, great flavors, and super friendly staff! Minus one star because it can be crowded and you might have to wait for a table during dinner time. Nevertheless, the food is definitely worth it. I had the carne asada and it was cooked to perfection. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Grullense II has been my go-to spot for Mexican food for years. My favorite is the California burrito, which is always loaded and satisfying. The service can be a bit slow during peak hours, but the staff is friendly, and the food makes it worth the wait. It's a small space, and often busy, which speaks volumes about its popularity! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying this place based on the reviews, and while the tacos were tasty, the cleanliness left a bit to be desired. A little more effort in keeping the dining area tidy would be appreciated. However, the lengua taco packed a punch flavor-wise! Honestly, just need them to step it up in the ambience department, and they’d be golden. " (*Curated Review*)
