" I can’t get over how delicious these tacos are! The combination of spices on the carne asada was perfect, and they generously topped it off with onions and cilantro. They are clearly doing something right because the line was long, but it moved incredibly fast. It reminded me of taco stands in my travels to Mexico. I can't wait to return and take friends along with me to share this tasty experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a deep love for tacos, and Tacos Degollado did not disappoint! The flavors are authentic, and the prices are incredibly fair. I had a chance to try their birria and was absolutely blown away by how tasty it was! The only downside was the seating situation; it can get cramped during busy hours. Still, the food is worth it. Keep doing what you’re doing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos Degollado is where flavor meets authenticity! I often find myself daydreaming about their tacos. The tripas were perfectly crispy, the salsa was a delightful blend of spicy and tangy, and the tortillas were ultra-fresh. It's a cash-only operation, but the prices make it worth it. I’ll continue to return and try new things each visit. Highly recommend to anyone who loves real Mexican tacos! " (*Curated Review*)
