" Although line was long, the food was totally worth the wait. I had the meat tacos and a friend had the birria. We both enjoyed our meals tremendously. The only downside was that we had to wait a while to be served, but we felt it was justified by the quality provided. " (*Curated Review*)

" Always love coming here for a quick bite. The prices are reasonable, and the food is consistently good. I love the salsas they offer too! They really round out the meal. The only downside is it can get busy during lunch hours; plan accordingly. Overall, good experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" This food truck is a hidden gem! The tacos are packed with flavor and the portions are just right. I especially loved the al pastor; it was perfectly seasoned. The staff was friendly and quick, making the experience delightful. Parking can be tricky at times, but it’s definitely worth the effort. I’ll be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Pariente after hearing so many great things, and it did not disappoint! The birria tacos were out of this world - so tender and flavorful. I ordered a side of esquites, which I found to be a perfect crunchy complement. The prices are a bit higher than I expected, but for the quality, I hardly mind. The service was quick and courteous too. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience was not as expected. While the food truck had a busy vibe, I found the service to be less than friendly. The tacos I ordered were decent but didn’t have the authentic spice I was hoping for. For the price I paid, I expected better. Parking was also a hassle, and I don’t think I’ll rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this taco truck! The carne asada tacos are probably the best I’ve had outside of California. They maintain the authenticity without compromising on flavor. I appreciate that they use high-quality ingredients, and each bite reflects that commitment. The only downside was that the wait was longer than I expected, but the food made it worthwhile. Definitely a must-try for anyone craving Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot for tacos! I loved the fish tacos, and they were crispy and fresh. My friend tried their quesadilla and couldn’t stop raving about it. I will definitely come back here as the flavors are really on point. The queuing was a bit long, but that's to be expected with great food. " (*Curated Review*)
