" It’s a very authentic place which truly showcases the rich flavors of Mexico. I was impressed with the quality of the dishes. The tacos were fresh, and the salsa packs a punch! However, the dining area could be cleaner and more organized. Overall enjoyed our meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best place to go for authentic Mexican food in the area! The tacos al pastor are packed with flavor, and the homemade tortillas are second to none. I was warmly welcomed and the service was excellent despite the restaurant being busy. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very authentic and flavorful Mexican food! Each taco was filled generously. My favorites were the fish tacos - so fresh and zesty! If you're craving some real Mexican food in the area, then look no further than Taqueria Cruz. The only downside was the limited seating. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had dinner here last night. The food was excellent, with lots of flavors coming through. I had tacos and my husband ordered the tamales. Both dishes were fantastic! The atmosphere is very casual, which I enjoy, but it can get a bit noisy. Overall, great value for the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Taqueria Cruz while exploring the area and I am so glad I did! The tacos were bursting with flavor, truly an authentic taste of Mexico.

" 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*)
