" The food was pretty decent, though not the best I've had. The quesadilla I ordered was okay, lacking the authenticity that I was expecting. The service could be better too - everything seemed slow. Still a decent place for a quick bite, but not sure I'd rave about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a Mexican food lover and I must say Taqueria Cruz provides amazing authentic food. The flavors are perfect, and everything they serve is fresh, too. The pricing is reasonable for the portion sizes offered. Just a tip: go during off-peak hours if you can to avoid the crowdedness. " (*Curated Review*)

" I fount Taqueria Cruz while searching for a local spot serving real Mexican fare. The flavors are no joke! The beef tacos were seasoned perfectly, and I loved the homemade tortillas. The service was friendly but could improve on the wait time for food. Overall, a good experience and I'll be returning for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been visiting Taqueria Cruz for a few years now and I have never had a bad meal. The authenticity of their food is unparalleled. Just the other day I ordered the carne asada tacos, and it took me right back to my childhood in Mexico. The staff is always friendly, and even though the place can get crowded, it's worth the wait. Fantastic value for the quality of food you receive. " (*Curated Review*)

" I grew up eating homemade Mexican food and let me tell you, Taqueria Cruz does not disappoint! Each dish I've had has reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking. The tortillas are so fresh and fluffy, and the salsa packs a nice kick. A true gem nestled in the city, albeit a bit small for dining in. Perfect for takeout too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really wanted to love this place. Tried it based on positive reviews, but my tacos were lacking in flavor. Service was friendly, but that's the only positive note. The atmosphere was a bit cramped and uninviting, which made it challenging to enjoy the meal. Not sure if I'd return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing to say the least. I was excited to try this place after hearing so many good things, but my experience was not up to the mark. The tacos I ordered were dry and lacked flavor. The server wasn’t attentive, and we had to wait quite some time for our drinks. I hope this was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)
