" Wow! Just wow! The church carnival I went to recently had El Tonayense as the catering truck, and they blew my mind. The carne asada was tender and burst with flavor, and let me tell you, the salsas are incredible. I tried their homemade salsa verde, which had the right amount of heat. I can confirm they create magic behind their food truck! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Tonayense last week, hoping to enjoy their famous burritos. The staff was friendly, but the wait was longer than I anticipated. However, when I finally got my burrito, it was worth it! The flavors were amazing, and the portion size was generous. I can't wait to go back and try their tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went based on recommendations, and it's clear that people love this place for a reason. The crispy tacos were not exactly my style, a bit oily, but they had a delightful crunch when I bit into them. The service was friendly enough, but I wish they had more seating since dining at the truck can be a bit cramped. I'll definitely try more of their offerings next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tonayense is not just a taco truck; it has a charm that keeps bringing me back. They are family-run, and you can taste the love they put into the food. The tacos are generous and satisfying. You have to try their super burrito — it’s massive and packed with all my favorite fillings. It’s the kind of spot that feels like home, even when you're on the go. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tonayense has been my go-to taco truck for years now, and the quality seems to remain consistent. Their tacos and burritos are well-portioned and packed with flavor. They offer a nice variety of meats, and it’s great to see family-run food places like this thriving in the community. I highly recommend keen eating here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment! I had high hopes after hearing great things. My first experience was enjoyable, with good burritos, but my recent visit left me upset. I ordered tacos but found the meat to be dry and lacked flavor. It seemed like a completely different food truck! Perhaps I caught them on an off day, but I won't be in a hurry to return anytime soon. Service could be warmer as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered El Tonayense, and I’m hooked! Their al pastor tacos are easily the best I've had in San Francisco. They have a perfect balance of spice and seasoning, and the portions are generous for the price. I highly recommend trying the spicy salsa; it kicks everything up a notch. The atmosphere is casual, which I appreciate for a quick bite, but be prepared for potential lines during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)
