" Just had the tacos de tripas, and they were to die for! Crisped perfectly and seasoned to perfection. Each bite was a burst of flavor, truly reminding me of homemade goodness. I also ordered some homemade salsa on the side which complemented them well. However, the wait time was longer than expected – but honestly, I would endure a line anytime for such delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended El Mero Gallo, and I was not disappointed! The variety of tacos blew my mind. Their carne asada and al pastor were so authentic, it reminded me of the street vendors in Mexico. I also loved their beans, and the horchata was a sweet ending to the meal. The only downside was that it was quite busy which slowed down the service. Nevertheless, it’s a great place for a casual meal - I will definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The taco truck experience here was incredible! The tacos burst with flavors and everything feels fresh. The salsa they provide is a perfect complement and distinctively homemade. I also had a torta, which was packed with fresh ingredients and was simply delightful. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to El Mero Gallo for years. The quality of their food has consistently kept me happy. However, I have noticed that the wait can sometimes be long during peak hours. Still, they have such a great variety of tacos, and I highly recommend their salsas and tortas. These flavors remind me of home! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service at this taco truck is hit or miss, but if you're lucky enough to get there when it's not busy, you are in for a treat. I found their tacos to be delicious and authentic, especially the beef options! Don't be afraid to try their tacos de lengua as well. Still, I hope they improve their service because the flavors really deserve it. " (*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*)
