" I had mixed feelings after visiting El Mex-Cal Taqueria. On one hand, the food was quite tasty with some authentic options, particularly the tacos which were bursting with flavors. However, my friend’s burrito was just average and didn’t deliver the excitement we hoped for. The service was okay but could be more attentive. Overall, I would say it’s worth giving it another shot, perhaps trying different dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The salsa here is to die for! I got the nachos with carne asada topped with guacamole. Flavor was on point, but I wish there was more beef on the nachos. Nonetheless, it was fantastic. The service was friendly and prompt, but the seating area was a bit cramped. Definitely returning for another round of tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing many good things, I decided to try El Mex-Cal Taqueria, and I was not let down! The tacos al pastor were juicy and well-seasoned. However, I think service could be better, as we had to wait a bit longer for our food than expected. All in all, I appreciated the quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited El Mex-Cal Taqueria several times, and there hasn't been a single visit that disappointed me! Their fish tacos are very fresh and delicious. The vibe is upbeat, and the staff is always friendly. The only downside is the parking situation can be a bit tricky during peak hours. However, it doesn’t stop me from loving their food. Definitely a top choice for tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying this taqueria, and I can confidently say I will be returning again! I went for their chilaquiles, and they were delicious and spicy—just how I like them. My friend ordered fajitas which came sizzling and tasted great. The ambiance is casual and laid-back, suitable for a family outing. Service was friendly, but they forgot my drinks. Overall, a good experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Mex-Cal Taqueria last month, and I must say, I was blown away! The shrimp tacos were fantastic, and you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The service staff were polite and quick, despite the restaurant being busy. I noticed that they had handmade tortillas, which just elevated the meal to another level. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I tried El Mex-Cal Taqueria last week, and it was a delightful experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles. I ordered the carne asada platter, while my wife had the chicken enchiladas. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the handmade tortillas were the cherry on top! The only downside was the wait time since it was a busy Friday night, but honestly, it was well worth it. We left feeling satisfied and eager to return. " (*Curated Review*)
