" I've been searching for a good birria place since moving to Seattle, and Birrieria Pepe El Toro surpassed my expectations! The flavors are incredibly rich and authentic. I tried their signature quesabirria tacos and they were absolutely scrumptious, bursting with flavor. The consomme served with the tacos elevates the experience tremendously. Service was prompt and the staff was genuinely friendly. I will definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommend it for anyone seeking authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations coming into Birrieria Pepe El Toro based on the reviews, and they were not only met but surpassed! This place has the best birria tacos I've tasted north of Los Angeles. The meat is juicy and flavorful, perfectly complemented by their consommé. The staff is kind and make you feel right at home. I only wish there was more seating, as it tends to get crowded during peak hours. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos at this place are phenomenal. They are stuffed with perfectly seasoned meat and come with a generous side of consomme that is a delight to dip in! The homemade salsa is delicious and gives it an extra kick. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect score is due to the portion size being slightly smaller compared to other places I've been to. This is a fantastic restaurant overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really impressed by this place! The tacos are fantastic. The flavors are spot on, especially with the dipping sauce. The only thing I wished for was a larger portion since I could eat a dozen of these. The environment is comfortable and includes some local artwork on the walls. Great for groups or solo dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had doubts about the hype surrounding this place, but I must say, it is absolutely worth it! The birria tacos are full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service is excellent, with attentive staff who really care about your dining experience. I also love the ambiance — it feels very welcoming. Every time I go, I leave feeling satisfied and eager to return! " (*Curated Review*)
