" I was introduced to Tacos Degollado by a friend and I can't understand how I ever lived without it! The freshness of the ingredients is remarkable, and I have fallen in love with their al pastor tacos. Each bite was packed with flavor. The only slight downside was that seating can get quite crowded, but that’s part of the charm of a food truck. I’ll definitely return to this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos Degollado has quickly become my go-to food truck! The flavors and freshness of each taco are unmatched.

" Tacos Degollado is the real deal! I revisit this taco spot frequently and have never been disappointed. They know how to cook their meats to perfection, and the flavors are spot on! The service staff is always friendly and hustles to get orders out quickly. I can’t recommend the burritos enough; they’re a great addition to the menu alongside the tacos. Make sure to grab some extra salsa to go with your meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere is a bit barebones, as expected from a food truck, but the food is definitely the star of the show! The tacos are loaded with fresh ingredients — you can tell they use quality produce. I loved the tripas tacos; they were crispy and savory. Service was quick, and my order came out right in no time. I will definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to stop by Tacos Degollado for lunch today, and what a treat it was! The carne asada and lengua tacos I ordered were incredibly flavorful. The tortillas were fresh and the toppings really added to the overall experience. It’s a bit tough to find parking during lunch hour, but once you get your tacos, it's all worth it. I can’t wait to go back! " (*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*)
