" I’m really pleased with my experience at Tortillerria Matehuala! The barbacoa was fantastic, and you can really tell the difference with their fresh tortillas. The staff is friendly and efficient. The only downside is that I had to take my food to go which isn’t an issue for me. I’ll definitely be back as their menu is enticing, and I can’t wait to try more options! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a bit of a mixed experience at Tortillerria Matehuala the other day. I ordered a fq platter with various fillings, and while the tortillas were fresh and delicious, the salsas didn’t quite hit the mark for me. They lacked the unique spice that I was hoping for and felt a bit one-dimensional. The service was decent but not particularly warm or inviting. I wish they had a proper dining area, as I felt a little rushed eating while standing. I may try it again but might stick to using it for takeout only. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not quite what I expected from the reviews. The fresh tortillas were fantastic; there was no denying that. However, the barbacoa was a bit disappointing as it lacked flavor. The service was okay but not overly friendly, more transactional. The lack of a dining area makes it less appealing for a sit-down meal, but it’s great for taking home, which I did. Overall, it was just fine but not a place I plan on frequenting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved Turtlelleria Matehuala! The freshness of their handmade tortillas is unbeatable. I decided to try the carnitas this time and they didn't disappoint. It was greasy and flavorful, making for a delightful meal. The staff was friendly and helped me pick out some amazing salsas. My only complaint is the limited seating, and I had to wait a bit, but it was totally worth it for the quality of food. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Tortillerria Matehuala wasn't as great as I had hoped. While the tortillas themselves were undoubtedly fresh and delectable, I was disappointed with the barbacoa, which was a bit overcooked for my liking. I also found the service to be a bit lacking in attentiveness. It felt like I was overlooked while waiting for my order. The atmosphere is quite basic as well since it’s mainly a takeaway. I’ll potentially give it another shot, maybe I just caught them on a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing! I decided to try Tortillerria Matehuala because of the hype, but honestly, I wasn’t that impressed. While the tortillas were excellent, I found the service to be lacking; the staff seemed overwhelmed and disorganized. Also, my order took longer than expected. This type of restaurant usually has a good flow, but the ones there didn't seem to care much. I may give it another shot, but I’m not sure if it will be my first choice going forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Tortillerria Matehuala deserves all the praise it gets! Just recently, I tried their quesabirrias and it was probably one of the best things I’ve eaten. The tortillas held up beautifully and paired perfectly with the consomme. Their fresh salsa has just the right amount of heat. The service was quick, and the employees were super friendly. Even though it's takeout only, there's nothing stopping you from enjoying this delicious meal in the comfort of your own home! " (*Curated Review*)
