" I had high expectations going in, given all the rave reviews, but I was left a bit underwhelmed. The food was good but not mind-blowing. The service felt slightly rushed, and I wasn’t too impressed with the atmosphere either. That being said, the tacos themselves had nice, authentic flavors, so I might give it another try in the future to see if I get a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic variety of authentic dishes! I was especially impressed by the rich taste of the carnitas—it truly felt like a piece of home. The environment is bustling but welcoming. Service could be a bit faster during peak hours, but staff was always kind and courteous. I will surely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was friendly, and the ambiance was inviting, but my carne asada was a bit overcooked. I enjoyed the overall dining experience, but I fell slightly short on food quality this time. I might give it another try to see if they can deliver properly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carnitas don Tacho after hearing raving reviews, and it did not let me down. The carnitas were undoubtedly the highlight of my meal, with a deep, satisfying flavor that reminded me of home. Service was attentive, even amidst the busy lunch hour, which was a nice touch. I will be recommending this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited after hearing so many good things and I must say, the carnitas did not live up to the hype for me. While the flavor was decent, I've had much better at a local taco truck. The service was average and the overall vibe of the place felt rushed. I’m not sure if I’d return, but I wouldn't discourage others from trying it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted a taste of home and this restaurant delivered. The carnitas were genuine, cooked in traditional style that brought back memories. However, be prepared for a bit of a wait during your visit—they're quite popular! Overall, well worth it for the flavor! " (*Curated Review*)
