" After reading many positive reviews, I decided to check this place out. The great atmosphere matched the praises! The food was delicious, especially the birria tacos; they are definitely worth the price. My partner and I ordered quite a bit and couldn't finish the meal; portions were plentiful. Looking forward to going back to try more items. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the flavors are genuine, my visit was marred by a long wait for our food. The dishes we tried, especially the tacos and enchiladas, were quite good, but after waiting almost an hour, our appetites had waned. If you're not in a hurry, you might really enjoy it, but I think I'll opt for ordering takeout next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has some of the best menudo I’ve tasted! I also shared some flautas which were crispy and flavorful. The place can get a little crowded, especially on weekends, but the atmosphere is lively and fun. Just be prepared for a wait during busy times. Overall, I highly recommend Mendoza’s for authentic Mexican comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mendoza's Taquería offers a diverse menu that delighted my taste buds! The corn tamales and sope were standout dishes for me. My family and I enjoyed the festive atmosphere, especially with live musicians some nights. Prices are reasonable given the generous portions, and the staff were extra friendly too. I have to mention the horchata—it was the best I've had! Can't wait to go back and bring more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I would not recommend this place. The food was subpar, and the place seemed a bit dirty. The service was slow and inattentive. I expected far better based on what I heard. We left unsatisfied and won’t be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" An okay experience but left me wanting more. The tacos I ordered were tasty but not memorable. I expected more authentic flavors based on the name, but they leaned a bit towards mainstream. The service was a bit slow too. I wouldn't rule out a return, but I have mixed feelings about this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant came highly recommended, and it does not disappoint. The ambiance is casual, perfect for a family meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the menudo and found it to be incredibly authentic. The only downside was the wait time; it took a bit longer to receive our food, but it was worth it. By far, the best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico! " (*Curated Review*)
