" I visited last weekend and was really impressed with how real the tacos felt. Having lived in Mexico for several years, I'm always on the lookout for authenticity, and I found it here! The carne asada had a nice grilled flavor and the tortillas were fresh. Just a couple of things could be better, like the seating space was a bit too tight. Hopefully, they keep up the quality since I'll be recommending them to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the most amazing flautas at Taqueria La Calpena yesterday. They were perfectly fried and bursting with flavor. The combination of fresh toppings really elevated the dish. The service was quick, and the staff was very welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a taco lover's paradise! The chicken tacos were juicy and seasoned perfectly. Seating can be tight, but it adds to the charm of the place. I definitely plan to return; I haven't even tried the tortas yet! Everything I had was beyond delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" A local favorite for good reason! The birria tacos are hands down the best I've had. You have to try them with their homemade consomé. The place can get crowded, and there’s limited seating, but the food more than makes up for that. Definitely worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become my go-to spot for tacos! I especially love the fish tacos, which are super crispy and well-seasoned. The salsa bar provides a great variety of options to customize your meal. The vibe is chill, perfect for grabbing a quick bite after work. I'm looking forward to trying their tortas next! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are searching for authentic tacos, then Taqueria La Calpena won’t disappoint! The ingredients tasted fresh and made me feel like I was back in Mexico. I tried the carne asada and it had a smoky flavor that I loved. Although it was a bit crowded, I consider it well worth it. A hidden gem in this area! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a true taste of Mexico, Taqueria La Calpena is where you need to go! The variety of meats they offer in their tacos is out of this world. I tried the al pastor and it was incredibly flavorful. Plus, there's a self-serve salsa bar that adds an extra touch of authenticity. The only downside was that the place was a bit crowded during dinner, but that's just a sign of how good the food is! Highly recommended for taco lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
