" HomeState has such a chill vibe! I love how they create a friendly atmosphere with tasty food. Their salsas are so fresh and really complement the tacos beautifully. I particularly enjoyed the brisket tacos; they were juicy and full of flavor. Definitely plan to return for another round next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is getting a bit expensive for the portion sizes provided. I really enjoyed the brisket tacos, but while they were good, I felt they could be a bit larger. The service was polite, and I liked the relaxed atmosphere. Will likely return but would hope to see better value for money. " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s something special about having a meal here—every taco feels like a little celebration of Tex-Mex goodness. I recommend the huevos rancheros for breakfast and the different salsa options—they each have their own character. The ambiance is colorful and uplifting, just like the food they serve. You won't regret stopping by! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came in expecting a quick bite and ended up staying longer than planned. The tacos were delicious, and I loved the variety on the menu. The vibe is very hip and laid-back—a perfect match for Pasadena. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying this place after hearing so many good things. The ambiance is cool, and the staff are welcoming, but the food fell a bit short for me. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and while they looked great, the flavor just wasn't there. Maybe it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved this place! The Trinity taco is a must-try. Always packed with flavors and enough to fill you up! I didn't need to ask for anything — the service was spot-on. Love the outdoor vibe with cool music. It’s the perfect place for a casual date or brunch with friends. Plus, they do vegan options which is a bonus for mixed dietary preferences! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went here last week and it was an okay experience. The tacos were good, but honestly didn't live up to my expectations after all the hype. The service was a bit slow, and I felt like the seating could be more comfortable. Still, it has a nice ambiance that some might appreciate. I'll give it another go but maybe during a less busy hour. " (*Curated Review*)
