" If you are craving authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further! I recently had an excellent experience at Mexican Deli. The chorizo tacos were bursting with flavor. I enjoyed every bite. The staff were friendly and efficient despite how busy it was. I can’t recommend this place enough! The only downside is the seating arrangement—it's tight, but this place is definitely worth the wait for a taco fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" I swung by the Mexican Deli after hearing great things from friends. The place is a bit small and doesn't have the best decor, but I truly came for the food. The beef tongue tacos were incredible, and the flavors were spot on! If you're looking for authenticity, this is your place. A bit more space and comfortable seating would be a plus, but I won't let that stop me from returning for those tacos. Make sure to stop by! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had breakfast at the Mexican Deli and it was delightful! The breakfast burritos are delicious, filled with egg, chorizo, and avocado – pure heaven. The staff were friendly and accommodating, happy to adjust my order as I wanted. I’m a little particular about my food, so I appreciated their patience! The cash-only policy is something to note, but the prices were reasonable. Great spot for breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" This deli is unique. I came in with high expectations because of all the rave reviews, and I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered both the tacos and the tamales. The tamales were simply outstanding – perfectly made with a flavorful filling. However, the seating can feel cramped during busier times, which is something I hope they address in the future. That said, the quality of the food makes it worth a visit! Highly recommend for an authentic Mexican flavor experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been here a few times and loved it each time. Their tacos de barbacoa are truly amazing, but be mindful it can get busy. The price for the portions you get is fantastic. The staff is usually cheerful, though it can sometimes feel a bit chaotic if you’re not familiar with how the place operates. Overall, this has become one of my favorite spots for authentic Mexican food. I highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tamales rojos at this place are a must-try! It is amazing how they get the masa just right – seasoned perfectly! The ambiance is pretty basic, but it adds to the charm of this local spot. While the staff could be a bit more attentive, the food itself makes up for it. Affordable prices and generous portions, what more can you ask for? I’m already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Mexican Deli was overall pretty good! I was particularly impressed with the quality of their taco fillings. The staff were friendly and did their best to keep up with the orders, even during busy periods. While the atmosphere could be more inviting, the food certainly made up for it! Highly recommend their al pastor tacos! " (*Curated Review*)
