" Honestly, I wasn’t very impressed by my visit. While the tacos definitely had good flavor, they were a bit on the soggy side, which made them fall apart when I picked them up. I had to eat with a fork, which wasn’t ideal. The service was somewhat slow too, and while the staff were friendly, I felt a bit neglected waiting for my drink. The atmosphere was cozy, but overall, I left feeling underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could give this place more stars! The birria is absolutely delicious, with the perfect amount of spice and richness. The homemade tortillas are a game changer. I can’t recommend this place highly enough! If you're a fan of real authentic Mexican food, this is where you need to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has recently become my favorite spot to grab a bite! I can always count on the birria tacos to be amazing. Perfectly crunchy and stuffed with juicy beef! The homemade tortillas make every bite a moment to cherish. The only downside is that it can get a little loud during peak hours. However, the food makes it all worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love it here! The carnitas are the best I’ve ever had in town! Perfectly seasoned and served in handmade corn tortillas, bursting with flavor. The atmosphere is always lively, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to introduce this place to my friends! It’s definitely a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is definitely good, but I've had better. The carnitas were flavorful, but they could have been more tender. I still enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly staff. I think there's potential for this place to be even better. I would come back to explore the menu more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent meal at El Tarasco! The fresh corn tortillas were lovely, and the birria tacos hit the spot. I enjoyed the cozy environment, but it got a bit crowded. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good, authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)
