" Had the opportunity to try Federales on a friend's recommendation, and I was pleasantly surprised! The energy is infectious and the ambiance is casual yet lively. I had the cactus and avocado tacos. They were fresh and tasty, though I wish there were more choices for vegetarians. The service was a bit hit-or-miss, as the waiter didn’t check in on us often enough but did keep the drinks coming! Overall, a fun place for a night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has a great party vibe! I visited for a friend's birthday and the energy was through the roof. Tacos were excellent; the pork was my favorite! Drinks were strong as you would expect, and quick to refill. Our waitress was friendly, but they were stretched thin. Overall, it's a fun place to let loose with friends, but I wish the service was a tad more efficient. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had a great time here! The atmosphere was lively, filled with fun energy. We tried the churros, which were divine and paired perfectly with their spiced hot chocolate. Tacos were good, with the pork and pineapple being my favorite! It did take a while for our server to check in on us, but the food and ambiance made it worthwhile. I would highly recommend Federales for a fantastic night out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Federales from what I've heard, but my visit was somewhat disappointing. While the food was average, the ice shot gimmick was fun, but I wouldn't say it made the night. The atmosphere was lively and the staff were friendly, but the service was lacking due to the crowd. The tacos I tried were decent, but I wouldn't label them as authentic. I think with a focus on food quality, this place could really elevate itself. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Federales. While I appreciated the lively vibe and welcoming staff, the food was just okay. I tried the steak tacos and while they were adequately prepared, they didn't have that authentic flavor that makes tacos special. Additionally, the service was surprisingly slow despite being busy. I'd recommend this spot for a fun night out, but I think there is room for improvement on the food front. " (*Curated Review*)

" Federales is hands down one of my new favorite spots! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a lively atmosphere and the decor is just so fun. I had the carne asada tacos, and they were bursting with flavor—definitely authentic and not your run-of-the-mill tacos. Our server was friendly, and while it took a bit to get our drinks, the overall experience made up for it. The ice shots are such a unique concept! I had a blast throwing the shots at the bell. Can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Federales was an unexpected delight! The atmosphere is vibrant and perfect for social gatherings. I tried the potato tacos and they were delicious! Absolutely filling and perfectly seasoned. The outdoor seating added a nice touch to the experience, allowing us to enjoy the warm evening. Even though the service was a little slow at times, the staff was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Federales to anyone who loves good tacos and happy vibes. " (*Curated Review*)
