" This was my first visit to Taqueria el Pastorcito, and it will not be my last! I ordered the lengua burrito after hearing great things about it from friends, and it certainly lived up to the hype. The beef tongue was cooked perfectly and the flavors were so rich. I even loved the assorted sauces that accompanied the tacos. The atmosphere felt lively yet comfortable, exactly what I was looking for in a casual dining experience. Plus, the service was attentive without being intrusive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Picking a place to eat in Kensington can be tough with so many options, but Taqueria el Pastorcito is a hidden gem. Their tacos al pastor were incredibly delicious, loaded with juicy meat and topped with fresh pineapple and onions. The variety of salsas brought another layer of flavor that I wasn't expecting. Our server recommended the michelada, which was perfect for cooling down on a hot day. The only drawback was a slightly cramped dining area, but the food makes it well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful discovery! Tucked away in Kensington, this taco shop offers a mouthwatering selection of authentic Mexican street food. The tacos al pastor lived up to the hype and were sizzling with flavors. The staff was attentive and made our experience even better.

" The experience was not what I expected. While the food was decent, I thought the tacos would be more flavorful. The horchata was way too sweet for my taste. The service had its ups and downs; our waiter was friendly but seemed overwhelmed. Overall, I might consider giving it another chance, but I wasn't completely sold this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I felt like I traveled to Mexico with every bite! Fantastic food, especially the tacos, which had the right amount of spice and were made with fresh ingredients. It was packed the day we went, which speaks volumes about their popularity. Our server was nice but a bit slow during the busy dinner rush. Still, the food made it all worth it. I’m already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredibly genuine food experience! The tacos were beyond amazing, packed with fresh ingredients and served hot. My favorite was the beef tongue tacos which had such tender meat. The workers were friendly, truly a reflection of the warmth found in Mexican culture. I came for the food, but will keep coming back for the inviting atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)
