" I simply can't express how much I love North of the Border! First time I tried their tacos al pastor, and they were unbelievably good. The flavors were vibrant, and the handmade tortillas held up perfectly against the juicy pork. I also appreciate the casual vibe of the place; it's a true neighborhood gem. The only downside is that it can get quite busy during lunch hours, but it's worth the wait for such amazing food. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! I've only been a handful of times, but each visit has been amazing. The flavors in their birria tacos are unreal, you're really missing out if you haven't tried them. The staff is all super friendly and ready to give recommendations. I just can't say enough good things! The ambiance could be better since there’s limited seating, but that doesn’t take away from the experience. My new go-to spot for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came in for lunch with my buddies and we were blown away! The burrito I got was huge, filled to the brim with ingredients. The flavor was on point and truly authentic. The place is small but has a nice vibe to it. It can get busy, but the staff was really attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Excellent experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has the best tacos in town! I ordered al pastor and they were fantastic. Super juicy and flavorful! You get a great amount of food for the price, enough for two meals for me. The staff is very dedicated and friendly. It can be small, so don’t be surprised if you have to wait for a table during peak times. But honestly, it's worth it for an authentic taste of Mexico! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend this place enough! The tacos al pastor were heavenly and gave me all the right feels. The quality of the meat and freshness of the ingredients were evident. I'm also impressed with the portion sizes, you definitely get your money's worth! Plus, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, which adds to the overall experience. I will be back often! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who appreciates authentic Mexican food, I must say North of the Border is a stand-out. The tacos are authentic and bursting with flavor. The portions are sizable, making it great value for the price. I thoroughly enjoyed the carne asada tacos; the cilantro and onions complemented the meat nicely. My only complaint is the narrow seating which can make it a tight squeeze during busy hours. Regardless, it’s a must-visit if you're in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last week and was slightly disappointed. The tacos were decent but lacked the authentic flavor I anticipated based on the reviews. The service was friendly, but it was quite crowded, which made it feel rushed. I had high expectations, perhaps too high. I might consider giving it another try, but my first experience didn't meet the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)
