" Had a great first experience at Taqueria El Dolar! The food was delicious and bursting with flavor. I ordered the taco plate with carnitas, and it was a generous portion. The salsa they serve on the side is fresh and zesty—just the way I like it! The service was prompt, and the staff was very polite. If you’re looking for a solid place to grab a quick bite, look no further. I'll be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great experience at El Dolar! The burritos are HUGE (I could only finish half). The staff was super friendly and spent a lot of time explaining the menu to me, which is nice because I’m not very familiar with authentic Mexican cuisine. The atmosphere was chill; you could see the cooking happening in the truck, which added to the authenticity for me. I felt like I was eating at a food festival. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible little food truck that serves up some of the best tacos in town! The authenticity of their dishes really shows in the taste. I particularly loved their barbacoa; the meat was extremely tender and flavorful. You also get lots of fresh toppings, which I appreciate as it makes each taco come alive. The service is quick, and the staff is friendly, which is a plus. If you're in Shawnee, do not miss out on El Dolar! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very laid-back lunch at El Dolar! I ordered a taco plate and it was delicious! The seasoning on the meat was strong but balanced well, making each bite satisfying. The portion could have been larger, but I've been to other places that serve even smaller tacos. I sat at one of the outdoor tables, enjoying the nice day and the casual, friendly atmosphere. I’d recommend this spot for anyone wanting good street tacos that don’t break the bank. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed. I went to Taqueria El Dolar because of all the hype, but it didn’t meet my expectations. My order took a while to get, and when I finally received my carne asada tacos, they were cold and lackluster. The rice and beans were bland. I was looking forward to enjoying a meal here, but it turned out to be a letdown. I don't think I will be visiting again unless I hear great feedback from friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every meal I've had at Taqueria El Dolar has been a delight! The tacos are rich in flavor and have the perfect amount of spice. Their consistency is commendable. The place is known for its authentic vibes. The owner remembered my name on my second visit. It's nice to be treated like family! The neighborhood vibe adds to the authenticity; it feels like a hidden gem. I highly recommend trying the queso birria and the street corn! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Taqueria El Dolar after hearing about it from a coworker. I ordered the ceviche and was not impressed. It had way too many cucumbers and the sauce didn't taste authentic. I was looking for something fresher, but this was a huge letdown. The service was decent, but I expected more based on the high praise. I won't be going back, especially with so many other places to eat out there. " (*Curated Review*)
