" Never had soup served as an appetizer before! The sopa de fideo was unexpected but delicious. The black salsa was a standout as well. The tacos were good but slightly greasy for my liking. Service was friendly but felt a bit rushed at times. Nonetheless, a good spot for authentic experiences! " (*Curated Review*)

" After a disappointing meal at another place, I was thrilled to find Traspasada. The carne asada was grilled to perfection, juicy and delectable. I loved the ambiance and the generosity of the complimentary chips and salsa. My only gripe was with the wait staff’s attentiveness, which could use some improvement. Overall, highly recommended!
