" My family and I really enjoyed our experience at Folklore! We ordered a variety of tacos and the flavors were impressive—particularly the short rib and shrimp options. The ambiance was cozy, perfect for a family dinner. The service was friendly, though a bit hectic at times. Overall, a lovely spot for some real Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an unexpected delight! I tried the carne asada tacos and they were amazing, incredibly flavorful. The restaurant had a nice casual vibe that I appreciated. My only issue was that the guacamole was a bit on the smaller side. " (*Curated Review*)

" Folklore is a little slice of heaven! The BBQ chicken tacos were out of this world, and paired perfectly with their freshly made tortillas. The staff was very courteous, and the setting feels comfortable and inviting. I will return soon! " (*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*)
