" Just had the most wonderful experience at Taqueria #3! The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made choosing our orders easier. We tried the fish tacos and they were divine! Lightly breaded and perfectly seasoned with a side of their delicious avocado salsa. A very cozy spot that's made it onto our favorites list. We'll definitely be back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Beware! I had the worst experience here. The food tasted old, and I felt like I was served leftovers. The service could not have been worse; the staff acted as though they were doing me a favor by taking my order. Save your time and money and look for another eatery. I'll share my experience with friends to prevent them from wasting their time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here on a Sunday, and I was thrilled to find a quiet spot away from the crowds. Service was prompt, and I ordered the shrimp tacos, which had a nice crunch and the flavor I was looking for. Portions were generous for the price, but the interior could use some work. Overall, pleasant experience and I plan on revisiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this place during lunch and the food came out fairly quickly. The tacos were decent but I felt like they could use more seasoning. The staff was attentive but not overly friendly, which was a bit surprising. I expected more from such a highly rated place. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience but not quite worth all the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been on the hunt for authentic Mexican food since moving to Austin, and I think I finally found my spot! The variety on the menu had me drooling, and everything I tried was packed with flavor. The enchiladas were particularly amazing, and the portion sizes felt generous. The staff was very welcoming, making me feel right at home! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I dine here, I am reminded of the rich flavors of my grandmother's cooking. The tamales are exceptional, and the homemade tortillas taste just like they should. I also adore the fact that they're open for breakfast all day; there's something comforting about breakfast tacos at any time. The restaurant does need a bit of a facelift, but for the food, I'll overlook that. A true gem for comfort food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciated the effort in making authentic dishes, my recent meal fell short of expectations. I found the tacos to be overly dry and the flavor was not as robust as I anticipated. The atmosphere is simple, not a place for lavish dining but perfect for a casual bite. Although the prices were fair, I was left wanting more from this visit. " (*Curated Review*)
