" This is my new favorite taco spot! The fresh ingredients and unique flavors keep me coming back. I tried the fajita tacos and the carne asada, and they were both so good! The staff is super friendly as well, which adds to the overall experience. If you haven't stopped by yet, you are missing out! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a taco aficionado, I must say that El Mero Gallo meets my discerning taste! They have everything, from traditional tacos to unique specialties that you wouldn't find at your typical taco truck. I also appreciated how fresh and visually appealing the presentation of the food was. Unfortunately, I did experience slow service during my visit, but the food made up for it immediately after. Highly recommend if you appreciate authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mero Gallo is a mixed bag for me. While their tacos are outstanding, I had a bad experience with my service. The cashier seemed overwhelmed and forgot my drink, which took too long to come. But once I got my food, I forgot about the wait because it was so good. I really appreciated the authenticity, but they'd benefit from a little more attention to service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered tacos for the first time here last week. The salsa was a highlight and added a great zest to the tacos. However, for the price, I expected larger portions. Though the flavor was fantastic, the quantity felt a bit lacking. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos here are decent but nothing to write home about. The authenticity didn't quite match the high expectations set by other reviews. The service was satisfactory, and I appreciated the friendly staff, but yeah, it was average overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Most authentic tacos I've had outside Mexico! Each taco was flavorful and loaded with ingredients. I love how fresh everything tasted. Plus, the prices are reasonable considering the quality. However, be advised the truck can be a tad cramped when busy, but it's worth squeezing in for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very disappointed during my recent visit. Although the food was good, the service staff showed no sense of urgency, which made the experience frustrating. I hope they can improve their service because the food, when it finally came out, was delicious! " (*Curated Review*)
