" Absolutely loved the vibe at El Lechon! You're greeted with warmth right when you step up to the truck. The tacos reminded me of authentic street food experiences in Mexico; you could taste the nostalgia in every bite! The carnitas are my ultimate favorite. I noticed other customers enjoying their meals as well—everyone seemed satisfied. However, the seating is limited, which is something to consider if you plan to eat there. Nevertheless, I highly recommend trying this gem out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had read great things about El Lechon, and I was not disappointed! The shrimp tacos are fantastic – crispy and flavorful! The only downside was the wait time, which was about 15 minutes during peak lunch hour. Despite that, the staff were apologetic and friendly, making the experience much better. The portion sizes are decent but feel a bit small for the price. Still, I will definitely return to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a bit disappointed after my recent visit to El Lechon. The tacos, while tasty, were smaller than expected, especially for the price point. For $3.25 each, I anticipated more filling. That being said, the flavors were authentic and fresh. The staff were friendly, but I couldn't shake the feeling of not getting great value for my money. I might give it another shot to see if it varies on different days. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! I visited El Lechon and tried their famous carnitas tacos, and they were exquisite. The flavors were so authentic, and every bite was a treat. The atmosphere was busy but friendly, and I found the staff to be helpful and cheerful even under pressure. It was a wonderful meal overall, although I felt the prices could perhaps be lower for portion sizes. I would recommend it to anyone looking for excellent street food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Frustration hit when I decided to grab a quick bite at El Lechon. I experienced a mix-up with my order, and it took longer than usual to receive my tacos. While the flavors were authentic and fresh, the service that day was lacking. I hope this was just an off day because I've heard wonderful things about this place. I'll give it another chance down the road. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been looking for a great taco truck for ages and finally decided to check out El Lechon. The hype is real! The tacos were filled with generous portions of meat, and the flavor was on point. I tried their shrimp and carnitas tacos, and both were spectacular. I wish they had more seating options because I could eat there daily! The staff was quick and warm. Can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I just had the most delicious tacos at El Lechon! The carne asada was grilled to perfection, packed with flavor, and the tortillas were fresh and warm. I also tried their churro donuts, and oh my goodness, they were the highlight of my meal! The atmosphere was lively, and the staff were super friendly. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
