" I was initially a bit put off by the cash-only policy, but the food made up for it! Everything is fresh and made to order. The family atmosphere makes dining here feel personalized, even though it's a drive-thru. The tacos and burritos manage to be both comforting and exciting—definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a gem! I stumbled upon it while visiting Waco, and I can't believe how amazing the food is. The breakfast burritos are off the charts, stuffed to the brim with eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat. The homemade tortillas make all the difference. You can tell everything is fresh. Definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I visited for breakfast, and it was everything we hoped for and more! The atmosphere was lively, and the service was friendly. We ordered a variety of items, and it was all incredible, especially the tacos. The breakfast menu items are a must-try, and I can't wait for our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit to Waco, I was looking for a great spot for breakfast and stumbled upon El Crucero. The breakfast tacos were perfect! Fresh tortillas and plenty of filling made them unbelievable. The only downside was waiting in line, but it was worth it. Highly recommend their salsa too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the best experience! The staff were helpful in guiding me through the menu as it was my first time there. I loved the carne asada burrito; it was gigantic and so tasty! I look forward to making this a regular stop for lunch or breakfast—definitely a keeper! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Taqueria El Crucero based on a friend's recommendation and it was phenomenal! The food had such vibrant flavors, especially the enchiladas. Each bite brought back memories of meals shared with family. The service was quick, even during peak hours. I can't wait to bring more friends to this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)
