" I had heard many good things about Taqueria El Alacran, so I decided to give it a try. The tacos were indeed delicious, but the waiting time was longer than expected. I loved their salsa verde! However, the seating options could be improved. It's a must-try for taco lovers, but don't go in expecting a restaurant ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for delicious tacos in Houston, look no further than Taqueria El Alacran! Their pastor tacos are a must-try—perfectly marinated and grilled. The only downside for me was the limited parking space. I often get my food to go due to that. Still, it's become a weekly tradition for me to visit this truck! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Taqueria El Alacran on a whim and really enjoyed our experience! The fish tacos were delightful and full of flavor! The only issue we faced was figuring out where to park, but that's typical for taco trucks. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Taqueria El Alacran after craving some authentic Mexican food. I was happy with my order and found the prices quite reasonable. My only complaint is that they don’t have a place to sit down and enjoy the meal, but I grabbed my tacos to go. Still, the flavors were on point, especially the seasoning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this taco truck based on reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. The gorditas were incredible, especially the ones filled with barbacoa. It's not a fancy place, but that’s what I appreciate about it—no frills, just great food! However, I did encounter a mix-up with my order, which slightly put a damper on the experience. Nevertheless, I would still recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic, flavorful Mexican food. I'll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I revisited Taqueria El Alacran after hearing rave reviews from friends. I ordered their fajita torta and was simply blown away by how good it was! The flavors were spot on and reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking. The only drawback was that there weren't many places to sit, but that didn’t matter much because the food made up for it. Definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This taco truck has some of the best tacos I've ever had! The carne asada is cooked to perfection. The service was friendly, making it feel welcoming. I do wish they had a larger menu, but the tacos are strong enough to keep me coming back. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)
