" I had heard great things about El Grullense II, and it did not disappoint! The tacos de tripa were crispy and flavorful, served with a delicious green salsa that gave just the right kick. I especially appreciated how authentic the flavors were, reminding me of my favorite taco stands from home. One downside is there’s often a line, but that’s just a testament to how good the food is! Overall, highly recommend for late-night cravings or a quick lunch. Will definitely return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was highly recommended to me, and I see why! The variety of meat options is impressive, and everything is packed with flavors! The tortillas have that homemade taste to them, unlike the famous chains. Definitely a spot I'd recommend for anyone looking to indulge in Mexican street food without the gimmicks! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical initially but this taco spot surprised me! The authenticity is evident! Everything from the tortilla to the filling tasted super fresh and local. Additionally, the service was quick with a smile. A lovely place to try for anyone visiting or living in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're serious about tacos, you need to visit this spot! The lengua tacos were unlike anything – moist, tender, and cooked to perfection! The only downside is the cash-only policy, but that's a minor inconvenience compared to the food quality. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough for a true taste of Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! The tacos here remind me of my travels in Mexico. I’ve tried the al pastor and lengua, and they were both fantastic. The amount of flavor in every bite is incredible. A must-try if you’re in the area! Just remember it's cash only, so come prepared. " (*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*)
