" Definitely worth a visit! Tacos Y Carnitas Sahuayo has become one of my go-to spots for tacos, thanks to their incredibly authentic flavors. On my last visit, I tried a couple of their special tacos, and they were bursting with flavor. The staff is super friendly and always happy to suggest combinations. The only thing preventing a perfect score were the longish wait times during lunch—so be prepared for a little backlog. For a delicious and genuine experience, this is the perfect place to enjoy traditional Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so excited to check out Tacos Y Carnitas Sahuayo thanks to all the positive buzz. The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, and I was ready to indulge. The food was good with a solid flavor profile, but I found the carne asada to be chewy and less than ideal. The service was diligent but not overly attentive, and I felt a bit rushed. Overall, I thought it was worth a visit, but next time I’ll stick to their carnitas or something else that has been more highly reviewed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Tacos Y Carnitas Sahuayo before and was excited to try it. The reviews about their carnitas did not disappoint; they were tender, flavorful, and really hit the spot! The service could have been a little more attentive, but they were polite and friendly. The atmosphere is casual, making it a nice place to relax while enjoying your meal. Although the overall experience was positive, the prices are a bit on the higher side for tacos. Nonetheless, I would recommend it for a satisfying and authentic meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tacos Y Carnitas Sahuayo last week, and wow, was I impressed! The vibe is laid-back but vibrant, with delicious placed along each counter. I ordered their famous carnitas tacos, and they were everything I hoped for and more: tender, flavorful, and generously portioned. The staff was incredibly friendly, which enhanced my experience. Although it was busy, they took the time to ensure that my order was correct. Good job team! If you're someone who appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine made with quality ingredients, you absolutely need to stop by! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos Y Carnitas Sahuayo is a fantastic taco joint! I've been twice and have been impressed both times. The carnitas are super tasty, and the portions are big enough to share if you’re not too hungry. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They get busy, especially during lunch, so I recommend going earlier if possible. The atmosphere is casual, and I love that they have a salsa bar; it adds a fun element to customizing your meal. Overall, a really solid spot for great Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on all the positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience at Tacos Y Carnitas Sahuayo was not great. While the carnitas had a decent flavor, I found them to be a bit on the greasy side. The salsa was also overly hot for my taste, which overshadowed the meat. Additionally, the service was lacking. I felt like I was an inconvenience to the staff. The ambiance is casual which is nice, but the cleanliness could be improved. It’s a shame because I wanted to love this place, but I doubt I’ll be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I kept hearing about Tacos Y Carnitas Sahuayo, prompting me to visit. As a long-time fan of Mexican cuisine, I was excited to try their dishes. I went for the carnitas and was slightly underwhelmed. They tasted good, but I expected more tenderness based on what I had heard. The portion was generous, but the texture wasn't quite right for my palate. I also found the service to be a bit disjointed, with long wait times even when the place seemed to be only half full. I appreciate their authenticity, but I left feeling like my experience could have been far better. " (*Curated Review*)
