" El Trancazo didn’t disappoint! This little gem serves up some of the most authentic dishes you can find. I think I’ve found my new spot for lunch! The tacos were fresh and bursting with flavor, and I also loved their baked goods. I did notice that the service could be a bit slow depending on the staff working. Overall, I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t yet! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Trancazo is my favorite local spot! The food is incredibly authentic, and I feel like I'm transported back to Guatemala every time I eat there. The portions are massive for the price, so it's an incredible value. I particularly love their breakfast options - the chorizo tacos are heavenly! The only downside is that the establishment is small, and it can fill up quickly, but the experience is worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit El Trancazo, I leave with a full stomach and a happy heart! Their bakery items are equally amazing; I love their sweet treats, particularly the cakes. It's the perfect way to end a delicious meal. Even though the service can be hit or miss, the staff is always friendly when they do greet you. This spot has become a beloved tradition for my family, and I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent visit, I decided to try the tamales and they were incredible! So much flavor and definitely make sure to ask for a side of their homemade salsa. The ambiance is very casual, which I personally love, as it feels more like dining at a friend’s house. Overall, the experience is fantastic, just a little patience is needed when it’s packed. Will come back again and again! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much praise, I finally visited El Trancazo and let me tell you - I was not let down! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner. The food was rich in flavors, and you could tell it was authentic. I enjoyed the tamales immensely! However, the service could have been better, it seemed like they were a bit overwhelmed. Nevertheless, I'll surely come back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Trancazo after hearing much about its authenticity and was not disappointed! The trancazo I ordered was packed with flavor, and the portion size was impressive for the price. However, the only drawback was the wait time. The staff appeared busy, so I understood, but I felt my order was delayed longer than necessary. It's a little rough around the edges, but I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the best experience at El Trancazo. The atmosphere is charming, and the food was honestly some of the best I've had in quite a while. The tamales were perfect and so was the carne asada. The only downside was the wait time, as it seemed they were short-staffed during my visit. Regardless, the quality of the food surpassed my expectations. I will definitely be returning!
