" I finally got around to checking Taqueria Castillo out after hearing so many rave reviews, and I must say, they lived up to the hype! The carne asada burrito was huge and packed with flavor. I appreciated the authenticity—definitely some of the best Mexican fare I've had outside of Mexico itself. The atmosphere was buzzing with energy, and despite being a bit cramped, it added to the charm. The staff were friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has traveled extensively through Mexico, I can confidently say that Taqueria Castillo does not disappoint when it comes to authentic flavors! From the tacos al pastor to the homemade salsas, everything oozed authenticity. The staff was courteous, albeit a bit slow during peak hours, but the food more than made up for it. If you're looking for a 'divey' taqueria vibe combined with fantastic food, this is your place. Can't wait to come back with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love supporting small businesses, and Taqueria Castillo is a fantastic choice! The tacos here remind me of my grandma's cooking. The flavors are authentic and fresh every single time. The only downside is the wait time, especially during lunch hours, but it's worth it for the tasty food. The people working there are so personable too! Highly recommend trying out their salsas with each dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled to find a taqueria that felt genuinely authentic. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were fantastic! Each taco was loaded with quality meat and fresh toppings that you could taste the freshness of. The only downside was how small the restaurant felt—definitely cozy! Service was bright, as the staff had smiles on their faces. I'd consider this my new favorite for tacos in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" This tiny gem of a restaurant is fantastic. I decided to try their breakfast burrito, and it was phenomenal! Filled with fresh ingredients and seasoned to perfection. The staff treat you like family, providing quick service with friendly smiles. The vibe was casual and relaxing, making it a great place to chill and enjoy good food without the pretentiousness often found in larger establishments. Would definitely recommend!

" My experience at Taqueria Castillo was mixed. The food was fine, but I didn't find it particularly special. The salsas were good, but the tacos felt a bit on the soggy side. I appreciated the quick service during my visit and the staff was friendly, but the overall ambiance left me wanting more. I might try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather unfortunate experience with the tacos here. They were on the dry side and didn't have that especial flavor I hoped for. The atmosphere felt too cramped and uninviting, although the service was polite. Perhaps I just caught them on an off day, but I can't say I'm interested in returning anytime soon.
