" So disappointed! I specifically went for the gorditas after hearing rave reviews, but they fell short of my expectations. The beef tasted off, almost like it was cooked improperly. The service didn't help either, as I felt ignored during my visit. The atmosphere was uninviting as well, which didn't help my overall mood. Maybe I came on an off day, but I definitely won’t be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is undoubtedly excellent, particularly the gorditas and tacos. I was taken aback by how authentic and homemade everything tasted. However, I encountered a few service hiccups. The line was long on weekends, and I felt rushed to order. I think the restaurant could improve on how they manage busy periods. But I can't deny that the food makes up for it. Just make sure to have cash ready before you go! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my visit to Taqueria La Duranguense! The gorditas were hands down the best I've ever had. We tried both the carne asada and the chicken, and each bite was bursting with flavor. The chef really knows how to balance spices, bringing out the rich tradicional flavors. The only downside was that the seating could be improved, as there was not enough space during busy hours, and it can get quite stuffy. Despite that, the food makes you forget everything else. I'll definitely brave the crowd for those gorditas! " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? This restaurant is a true hidden gem! Situated in a small corner, it offers authentic flavors that remind me of Mexico. Their tacos de barbacoa were succulent and not too greasy – just perfect! Each taco is reasonably priced, making it easy to try multiple options. While the service was friendly, it seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak times. I loved the overall vibe and will definitely be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my experience at Taqueria La Duranguense. While the food had its moments, particularly the tacos which were flavorful and had a satisfying crunch, the overall experience was marred by slow service. I went during lunch hour and waited for longer than expected for my order. Additionally, the seating is quite limited and might feel cramped. I’d recommend it for takeout, but if you're looking for a relaxed dining experience, you may want to go at off-peak times. Still, those tacos are worth a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Each time I visit, I’m struck by the nice homely feeling here. The gorditas are amazing, and the service has always been friendly, albeit a bit slow at peak times. I appreciate the authenticity of the food and the atmosphere—it's a good place to bring friends. Just remember to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I am always on the lookout for genuine Mexican food, and Taqueria La Duranguense hit the nail on the head. The beef gorditas were super tasty, and each bite took me back home. Despite a slightly crowded atmosphere, my experience was wonderful. Just be ready for a cash-only payment method, but trust me, it is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
