" I came across this taco truck while looking for lunch and I have to say I was impressed! I ordered the quesadilla and added some chorizo. The portion size was great, and it was so cheesy and delicious. First time visiting and I was treated like an old friend. It's great value for a lunch break! Just a note: remember to bring cash as they don't take credit cards here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Taqueria El Güero last weekend and the food was delightful! I had a variety of tacos, including shrimp, and they were incredible. Definitely the best I've had in the region. The staff were very accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed. Be prepared, though, as they only accept cash, which can be inconvenient. Overall, a fantastic taco truck. " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I stepped up to the counter at Taqueria El Güero, I was excited to try the tacos I’d heard so much about! I opted for the beef and chicken tacos, both of which were flavorful and generous in portion. The service was quick despite the line. My only critique would be the outdoor seating—maybe a covered area for rainy days would be nice. Overall, a solid experience with great food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every bite at Taqueria El Güero is a fiesta in my mouth! The tacos here should win awards for flavor. I love the vibrant colors and the delicious taste of authentic Mexican cooking. It truly feels like you're biting into Mexico with every taco! Don't skip out on their unique taco sauces; they elevate the meal to a whole new level. The only downside? I'm hooked and can’t stop coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious tacos that transport you straight to Mexico! I had the al pastor tacos on my first visit and I keep coming back for more. The authentic taste really impressed me, especially given the casual setting. The staff is friendly, making the experience enjoyable. One thing to note is that it's cash only, but it’s worth every penny. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about Taqueria El Güero! I had their birria tacos and they were phenomenal. The quality is consistently high and the atmosphere is cozy. The friendly staff really make it a welcoming experience. I've never waited long for my food, and I always leave feeling satisfied. Bring cash when you come, as they don't take cards here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't speak highly enough about Taqueria El Güero! I've traveled to quite a few taco spots in the area, and this one hits the mark for authenticity. The corn tortillas feel homemade, and the portions are generous for the price. I often go with friends, and we always end up ordering a variety so we can share. You can't go wrong with their quesadillas or tortas either! It's casual dining, and sometimes it can get busy during lunch hours, but believe me, it's worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)
