" Absolutely my favorite taco place! Whenever I come through Maryland, I have to stop here for the carne asada and their homemade salsas. The flavors are bold, and it feels like a little slice of home. The only downside is it gets super busy on weekends, so be prepared to wait a bit. But honestly, it's worth it for the delicious food! 🌟🌮 " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying this place based on the reviews, but I was quite disappointed. The tacos were oily and lacked flavor, which was surprising considering the rave reviews. The service was slow, and I felt ignored. I might give them another try in the future, but I won't rush back. 🌮🤷‍♂️ " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited here after hearing so much hype, and wow, I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff worked efficiently to keep everything moving. The tacos were incredibly well-seasoned and full of flavor! The churros for dessert were amazing, too! This place officially has a new fan! 🥳 " (*Curated Review*)

" First time eating here, and I was not impressed. Everything felt overcooked, and the portions were smaller than I expected based on the price. The atmosphere was decent, and the staff were polite, but I won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Authenticity is the name of the game here! I felt transported to a street corner in Mexico City with their fabulous tacos. I tried several types, and all were delightful! The service was fast, and the atmosphere was relaxed. I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fairly average experience. The ambiance was nice, but the tacos just didn’t hit the mark for me. While I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients, they were a bit underseasoned. I felt the atmosphere was lively, and the staff tried their best, but the food could use more love. Maybe next time! 🤔 " (*Curated Review*)

" The hype surrounding this taco place is well deserved! Authentic flavors, fast service, multiple options, and an enjoyable ambiance! Even if it gets a little crowded, the food is definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
