" While I do enjoy the food at El Gorrion, I think they’ve become a bit overpriced compared to when I first started going. Don’t get me wrong, the quality is still high, and their carne asada is mouth-watering, but I feel like the prices have increased more than they should have. The ambiance isn’t much, but it’s still decent for a food truck. Overall, I will keep coming back due to the consistency of their excellent food. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gorrion is simply fantastic! From the moment you arrive, you can feel the welcoming atmosphere of the food truck. While I do miss having some indoor seating, the food makes it all worth it. Everything I’ve tried here is fresh, and the tacos are packed with flavor. I highly recommend trying the chile relleno; you won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gorrion is a fantastic option for those craving authentic Mexican cuisine. I highly recommend the green chili burrito, as it is packed with flavor! The service is usually quick and friendly; however, on occasion, they can get busier and the wait times may increase. Overall, I always leave satisfied, and their prices are hard to beat. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first time at El Gorrion, and I won't forget it! The portions were satisfying, and the flavor was on point. The only downside is the setting can get a bit noisy with all the customers. But honestly, it's a food truck—what do you expect? I'm definitely coming back for their famous tacos de cabeza! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, my experience at El Gorrion was unforgettable. The ambiance might be simple—just picnic tables under an awning—but the food? Wow! I had the chile relleno plate, and it was one of the best I've ever tried; authentic and rich flavors that reminded me of home. The service was impeccable, and I loved the overall vibe. Definitely, I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kudos to El Gorrion for keeping their quality and flavors authentic! Their machaca is out of this world, especially when served in a burrito. I’ve tried other places, but they never compare. The prices are reasonable, and the service is fast, which makes it an excellent choice for busy workdays. A truly delightful experience to recommend to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t speak highly enough of El Gorrion! Their carne asada is legendary, and their tortillas have that homemade taste that not many places maintain. Despite the truck's simplicity, the atmosphere is always welcoming, and the staff is incredibly polite. Truly, a must-visit for anyone in search of genuine Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
