" If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, AJ's is the place to be! I’ve been here a couple of times, and I've loved every item I've tried. The shrimp tacos were divine! Another bonus is the friendly, attentive service which elevates the entire experience. The atmosphere is casual, perfect for a relaxed meal. The price is also very reasonable compared to other places. Will be bringing friends here next time for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my visit to AJ's. I had high hopes based on all the positive reviews, but the service was surprisingly slow during my visit even though the restaurant wasn't full. The food was decent but nothing extraordinary. I ordered a burrito that came out lukewarm, and I think it needed more spices. That said, the owner was really friendly, and I might consider giving it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t emphasize enough how great AJ’s Taqueria is. Each taco I tried was bursting with flavor, from the spicy carnitas to the zesty salsa verde. The atmosphere feels both cozy and lively at the same time. I also inadvertently made it in time for their Saturday special—ten tacos, rice, and guacamole for a fantastic price. I could hardly finish it all! My only critique would be the lack of a proper dessert menu, given they serve ice cream but don’t advertise it. Regardless, I’m already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" AJ's Taqueria has earned a fan in me! I ordered their famous burrito bowl, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were authentic and diverse. A personal highlight was their guacamole, fresh and vibrant! The staff treated me like family — genuinely caring and attentive. Plus, the ambiance felt cozy yet lively. It’s evident the owner puts a lot into this place. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much buzz around AJ's, I decided to check it out over the weekend. The place is small but has a charming vibe. I ordered the burrito and it was huge! Stuffed with ample fillings and laden with savory sauce — it was a whole meal! However, the guacamole was a bit underwhelming and not as fresh as I hoped. The service was quick and friendly and I enjoyed my time there. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend it, especially for those who love generous portions! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by AJ’s! I tried their shrimp tacos with a side of rice, and it was delightful! The ambiance has a charming vibe that's perfect for a group outing or a quick solo lunch. I loved how their ingredients tasted fresh and wholesome. The service was polite too. I would definitely visit again a week from now to satisfy my Taco cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love AJ's as it came highly recommended. The tacos looked inviting, however, my order came with ingredients I didn’t recognize, and they tasted oddly bland. Service was decent but nothing noteworthy. I might give it another chance, but I left feeling underwhelmed this time. " (*Curated Review*)
