" So disappointed with my visit. I ordered the birria pizza, which was touted as the best, but it fell flat for me. The flavors seemed muted, and there was way too much cheese. My partner liked the tacos, but overall, I did not find it worth the hype. Perhaps I just had high expectations from the reviews I read. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such high hopes coming into Los Pookies due to all the raving reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was lackluster. We waited too long for our food, which was lukewarm when it arrived. The tacos were decent but not remarkable. I might give it another try one day, but for now, I remain unconvinced. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Talk about good food. I usually don't write reviews, but Los Pookies deserves it. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming. I ordered the enchiladas and they were heavenly! The chicken was seasoned to perfection, and I truly felt like I was dining in Mexico. Can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Los Pookies leaves something to be desired, as it's a bit too cramped for my liking. However, the food is undeniably delicious. I tried the carne asada fries and they were loaded with toppings, making for a very filling meal. I especially loved the freshness of the guacamole! Overall, worth the visit despite the layout. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the birria tacos on Taco Tuesday and they were so good! You can't beat that price for the flavor you get. I wasn’t super impressed by the cleanliness of the place, but the food made up for it. The wait time can also be long during peak hours, but the quality is worth it. Will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Pookies was a fantastic find! The birria pizza was unique and delicious, and the service was impeccable! They even remembered my grandmother’s favorite toppings for our next visit—so sweet! If you're ever in the area, this is a must-try restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful birthday dinner at Los Pookies. From their amazing birria tacos to their delightful service, I felt truly celebrated. The staff even offered complimentary dessert for my special day, which was a sweet touch. I highly recommend it for a casual celebration with friends or family! " (*Curated Review*)
