" For someone who craves authentic Tex-Mex, HomeState is a dream come true! The breakfast tacos are a showstopper. Plus, the communal vibe with friendly patrons made it even more special. It’s definitely on my regular rotation when I’m in Pasadena. I recommend the spicy salsa to amp things up! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is pretty solid, though I had higher expectations from the hype. The tacos were decent, but a little bland for my taste. The salsa was good, but I wish they had more options that were spicier. The servers were friendly, but the ordering process felt a bit confusing. I’d probably give it another shot, maybe try their drinks next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for brunch, but bring a friend for the portion sizes—they're a bit on the smaller side if you're hungry. I really enjoyed the flavors, especially the tacos. My go-to was the chicken taco with slaw, it was a delicious combination. Good service, too. Just keep in mind that it can get busy, so try to arrive early! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little spot is a hidden gem! The tacos are fresh, but what stood out for me were their creative drink options—especially the hibiscus lemonade. The patio is a fantastic place to enjoy your meal. Although parking was a challenge, I think the experience was worth the trouble. I’m definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience was not as expected. The orders were mixed up, and I had to wait longer than anticipated. The food was decent, but having the wrong order can really hinder your enjoyment. I understand mistakes happen, but for the price point, I expected more consistency. " (*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*)
