" I had a mixed experience with El Tulense. On one visit, I thoroughly enjoyed their quesadillas, which were filled to the brim with cheese and flavorful steak. However, on another occasion, my carne asada burrito was quite underwhelming and felt dry. The service tends to fluctuate as well, with friendly staff one day and a rush on another. The ambience is charming but could use a little update. I'd rate the good days higher than the bad ones. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Tulense last Friday for lunch and was underwhelmed. The caldo de res was average at best, and it was quite pricey considering the portion size. On the other hand, the friendly service made the experience somewhat pleasant, which is a plus. I possibly wouldn’t return for this dish, but I may give their tacos a try next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tulense is an hidden gem! I stopped in for a quick lunch and was blown away by the authentic flavors. The tacos were filled to the brim with fresh ingredients and the handmade tortillas definitely elevated the experience. The service was swift and friendly, making it a perfect spot to return to. Highly recommend this place if you want a taste of real Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about El Tulense and decided to visit last week. The atmosphere felt very homey, but unfortunately, my experience wasn't stellar. The chicken fajitas I ordered were average at best, lacking much seasoning, and the tortillas were a bit dry. The service was fine, just not as attentive as I had hoped. I might give it another shot, but it's not at the top of my list right now. " (*Curated Review*)

" When in town, El Tulense is a must-visit! Their seafood tacos are packed with freshness, and their unique salsas have a nice kick. I was enamored by the vibrant decor which contributes nicely to the overall experience. I recommend this place to anyone craving delicious Mexican fare. Looking forward to my next visit.

" I thought the food here would be better based on the high ratings. The enchiladas seemed to be missing some essential flavors that make them authentic. The staff were okay, nothing to write home about. I do appreciate the effort but probably won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tulense has been my go-to for amazing tacos since I moved here! Their beef tongue tacos are beyond! The service is always friendly, and I appreciate their dedication to using quality, fresh ingredients. I often stop by just for a drink of their refreshing agua fresca. Every time I visit, it feels like a treat. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)
