" Not bad! I was just about to get some tacos, and I saw this place on Yelp. It turned out to be a great choice! The shrimp tacos are also quite tempting. I will be back shortly, and I will definitely try some more flavors next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for TJ Tacos, but my experience wasn't great. The tacos tasted good, but I had a long wait while the staff prioritized the drive-thru orders. The service was decent, but I didn't feel welcome. I may consider giving it another chance as I've heard good things about the tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not much to look at from outside, but these tacos are amazing! I loved the carne asada; it was juicy and flavorful. The service was quick, but the place was quite busy. If you're in Escondido, you have to give it a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is the one! They have some of the most authentic tacos I've had since moving from California to the Midwest. I’m a fan of their lengua tacos; it's so flavorful! Service was quick even though it was busy. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to try TJ Tacos based on what my friends said. Unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming. The tacos were decent, but I felt like they were missing some seasoning. The service was responsive but not overly friendly. I think I’ll give it another shot soon, perhaps ordering something different. It's worth a try! " (*Curated Review*)
