" I visited Tromperia El Zac last weekend, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends. I tried their carne asada burrito, which was generously filled and super flavorful. However, I found the prices a bit steep compared to portion sizes. Service was friendly, but it took some time for our food to arrive. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it for a quick Mexican fix. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants, and Tromperia El Zac ranks among the best. The food is authentic, with the flavors taking me back to my childhood. I had the chicken flautas, and they were just perfect. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I’m eager to visit again and try more menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a big fan of Mexican cuisine, I’ve tried many places, but Tromperia El Zac stands out for its authenticity. I ordered the quesabirria, and I must say, it was simply divine! The broth was rich, and the tacos were perfectly crispy. My only criticism would be the slow service on a busy Saturday night, but the quality of food made up for it. I will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, Tromperia El Zac has the best al pastor tacos in town! I’ve never had them so flavorful anywhere else, and they definitely transport me back to Mexico. The only downside was that my server seemed a bit overwhelmed during the dinner rush, so there was a slight delay in service, but it wasn’t too bothersome. Overall, a great spot that I recommend to anyone craving authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! We had the tacos al pastor and quesadillas and were blown away by the freshness of the ingredients. The only letdown was the waiting time, which was a bit longer than expected during peak hours. If you can be patient, the quality of the food is more than worth it. Our server checked on us multiple times, which was appreciated. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment all around. The service was extremely slow and my order was wrong. The tacos I received were bland, and the atmosphere felt a bit chaotic despite the friendly staff. I had high hopes, but I left feeling less than satisfied. I wouldn’t recommend for a quick bite. But maybe others have had better luck! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently ventured to Tromperia El Zac and was blown away. The tacos were exquisite, and I loved how each dish was so fresh. While I didn't find the service to be particularly fast, the staff was friendly and helpful. It was a pleasant experience overall. I’m already planning to return to try the quesabirria next time!
