" Honestly, I've had better tacos elsewhere. Although this place was decent, nothing wowed me. The chips were a little stale, and the service felt rushed. I think I’ll search for other options in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Less than expected. The food was bland, and the service was slow. I felt like I was just another number and not valued as a customer. Looking for something that would make me want to return. " (*Curated Review*)
