" It was okay, nothing too memorable. The food was decent, but I've had better Mexican cuisine. The service was fast but felt a little impersonal. They were definitely trying to move us in and out quickly, which I found a bit off-putting. On the plus side, the chips and salsa were pretty good! Just not sure if I’d rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got back from a dinner at Hercules and it was fabulous! We sat on the patio, and the atmosphere was perfect for dining outside. The staff was engaging and attentive. The carne asada tacos were spicy and flavorful; don't forget to order the guac, it was definitely a highlight. I will be recommending this spot to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is hyped, but I don't think it lived up to expectations. We ordered some tacos and a platter of enchiladas, and while they were okay, I've had better. The service wasn't bad, but it felt chaotic during peak hours. I might consider giving it a second chance on a less crowded day. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an unexpectedly delightful find! The menu was diverse, and everything we ordered was flavorful. The emphasis on fresh ingredients was evident in each dish. Plus, I loved trying the house-made salsa; it paired perfectly with the chips. The only drawback was that it was pretty busy when we got there, and we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. Definitely worth it, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Noticing a decline in consistency during my last two visits. While the food remains good—especially the fajitas—the service seems to depend on the staff. Our server seemed overwhelmed during peak hours which made for a less enjoyable experience. Still, the atmosphere is friendly, and the food is generally flavorful. I'll give it another shot, as I know they can do better! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow! What a stunning place! I went here for my anniversary, and everything was perfect. The service, the atmosphere, and especially the food. The chef really knows what he’s doing. The flavors of the lamb tacos were to die for! I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s my new favorite place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a double date and had an excellent time. The chips were fresh and paired perfectly with our salsas. For mains, we got street tacos and huge burritos. Everything was served quickly, and our server maintained great communication. The only drawback was the noise level, but it was a Saturday night. Would highly recommend this restaurant!
