" I had a wonderful experience at El Itacate! The authentic flavors of the birria tacos took me back to my grandmother’s kitchen. The service was prompt and friendly, making the meal even more enjoyable. I also tried the mangonada, which was refreshing and perfectly sweet. I will certainly be back for more! Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Itacate is a delightful spot with mouthwatering dishes. I tried the cheese enchiladas, and they were homemade, bursting with flavor. The price was very fair for the quality. The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for small gatherings. The staff was friendly, although it took a little longer to receive our meals. Overall, a great dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at El Itacate is great, but I found the service to be a little lacking. I had to wait quite a while for my order. That said, the burritos we ordered were flavorful and filling. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming, making it a decent dining experience overall. I’d be willing to try again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing visit! The fish tacos I ordered had barely any fish in them, and the batter was flavorless. I was really looking forward to authentic Mexican flavors, but I left feeling unsatisfied. Unfortunately, the service didn't help either, as we waited a long time without interaction. I won’t be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Itacate is a staple in the area for a reason. The food is always fresh and bursting with flavor. I particularly love their birria with consomé; it’s simply to die for! The service staff knows how to make you feel at home too. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone craving good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
