" Taco Especial is a cozy little spot that serves good food, but my last visit left me wanting more. The chips were stale and the tacos, though decent, didn't overwhelm me with flavor. Service was great, and I appreciated their friendly demeanor. I might return, but not a top priority. " (*Curated Review*)
