" A fantastic find! The birria ramen is unlike anything else I've tasted—not your typical ramen at all. The restaurant had a friendly vibe and I loved how interactive the salsa bar was. You can literally customize each taco just the way you like it. My family and I were visiting from out of town, and we felt like locals immediately. We'll definitely come back next time we're in El Paso! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to rave about this place, but sadly, it seems to be on a decline. On my recent visit, I was served cold food and the chicken was definitely not freshly made. They microwaved the leftovers right in front of me, which left me feeling uneasy. The ambiance was poor too; it felt sticky and messy. I hope they can turn things around, as I love their birria tacos when they're on point! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a satisfying meal overall! The birria tacos were the highlight of my plate. I was impressed with how fast the food came out too! The atmosphere could be a little better, as it felt slightly cramped, but the flavors certainly made up for it. I would recommend it for anyone craving a great taco. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience! The tacos are fresh and the salsa bar complements the meal perfectly. I especially loved the selection of salsas available. Our service was friendly and welcoming, making us feel like part of the family. Everything tasted authentic and for the first time in a while, I felt like I was eating real Mexican food. Worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican flavors, Taqueria Ay Cocula is the place to be! I had the birria tacos and they were simply divine. The meat was tender and packed with flavor, and I loved the self-service salsa bar. The ambiance is casual yet vibrant, just what you'd expect from a local taqueria. Highly recommend it to anyone craving genuine Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" While visiting El Paso, a colleague recommended Ay Cocula, so I gave it a shot. The service was top-notch, and the tacos were bursting with flavor! I particularly enjoyed the carne asada tacos, they had a nice spice kick! The self-serve salsa bar is a great idea—allowing you to customize everything to perfection! The ambiance was cozy and definitely a place I'd recommend to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed in my last meal there. While the birria tacos were decent, my overall expectation fell flat due to inconsistent service. When we asked for more drinks, it took ages for our server to notice us. The environment seemed nice and lively, but I can't help but feel they could do more to enhance the dining experience. Perhaps a better management approach could help them out. " (*Curated Review*)
