" Wow, I was really impressed with the variety of tacos at Folklore! I decided to try their carne asada tacos and was delighted by the bold flavors. The homemade tortillas made all the difference! The atmosphere is lively, but I wish the service could have been a bit quicker. Still, a fantastic option if you're craving authentic Mexican. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Folklore with high expectations and was not disappointed! The ceviche with the tostadas was superb and the tacos were bursting with flavor. The staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions. It was slightly cramped but added to the charm of the place. I definitely plan on returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance draws you in, and the food surely delivers! I had their special tacos and the flavors were vibrant. The only downside was inconsistency in the service, but the meals were worth the wait. I highly recommend the BBQ chicken tacos - they were divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for authentic Mexican food in the area, and Folklore did not disappoint! I tried multiple taco fillings and was particularly impressed by the carnitas. The service was friendly and the atmosphere felt cozy. I will certainly return for their Taco Tuesday special! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hoping for great tacos, but my visit to Folklore left me a bit underwhelmed. The flavors were simply average, not what I’d consider true Mexican food. Friendly service, but it didn’t make up for the mediocrity of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I found the tacos at Folklore to be good, but not as mind-blowing as some reviews suggested. The seasoning felt like it was missing something special. The environment was nice, and the service was decent, which helped. " (*Curated Review*)

" Exquisite food and a cozy setting make Folklore a great spot! The pork tacos were some of the best I’ve had outside of Mexico! However, the service could be more organized, especially on busy nights. Still, I look forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)
