" The service is always friendly here, but I must admit it's been a bit slow on my last few visits. However, the birria tacos more than make up for that. They’re so flavorful and perfect for a cold evening. I remember the first time I tried them—I was hooked immediately. The kids loved their quesadilla too; a family favorite for sure. If you're willing to wait a bit for your food, it's well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My last experience at Ay Cocula was quite a mixed bag. The food was decent but not as good as I remembered from my last visit. The quesabirria tacos had a nice flavor, but they were a bit greasy. The service was okay—our waitress was friendly but seemed overwhelmed. I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the dining area, which could definitely use more attention. Overall, it's an alright spot but I've had better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Taqueria Ay Cocula last month and wanted to share my extensive thoughts. Let's start with the positive aspects—the birria tacos were outstanding and genuinely flavorful! The tortillas were soft and came generously filled. However, there were a few drawbacks. The service was a bit slow; we had to flag down our server for refills. Additionally, the cleanliness of the restaurant was questionable—the floors needed a good sweep. I think the restaurant has potential and I hope they address these issues because the food truly deserves a better setting to shine. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was pretty disappointing. A friend recommended it, but when I visited, the place had a funny smell, and food was unimpressive. I had the barbacoa and the meat was dry. Service felt distracted and slow which didn't help. I might give it another chance for a better impression, but I'm hesitant based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious and filling! We took our kids to Ay Cocula last weekend, and they enjoyed the food. The taco variety was excellent and really hit the spot! The salsa bar provided endless possibilities to customize. It wasn't perfect as the service was a bit slow, but we can't wait to come back for more tacos soon. " (*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*)
