" Tacos are fantastic but the service could use a little work. I ordered my usual favorite—the lengua tacos—and they were phenomenal! But I felt ignored while waiting for my order to be completed. On the plus side, the restaurant has a nice outdoor area that's perfect for enjoying a meal on a sunny day. I can overlook the service hiccup for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Tacos Al Pastor is always a treat! The flavor of their al pastor is some of the best I've ever tasted. The staff is really friendly and accommodating, and I love the salsa bar for customizing my meal. The only downside is the lack of indoor seating—might not be the best for a rainy day. Overall, a solid taco experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place since it comes highly recommended, but I was a bit let down. I ordered the California burrito, which was decent, but I found the fries soggy and the meat lacked flavor. The service was quick and the staff friendly, so I can’t fault them there. For the price, I expected something that would blow me away, but it was all just okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every bite at Tacos Al Pastor is a delight! The carne asada tacos are my favorite here; they're juicy and full of flavor. The salsa choices helped to enhance the experience. Although the outdoor seating has some limited space, the overall vibe is friendly and inviting. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic tacos at reasonable prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Tacos Al Pastor more than I can count, mainly for their delicious al pastor tacos. They are executed perfectly with each order. It's refreshing to find a hidden gem that excels at providing authentic Mexican cuisine. Just be cautious with the limited parking—it can be a hassle during busy nights. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish the place had more indoor seating because the food is so good! The nachos were a letdown as they were a bit stale, but the tacos totally redeemed my experience. I definitely enjoyed the al pastor and will be back for more. Service was quick and the prices are very reasonable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with my recent experience at Tacos Al Pastor. The tacos were lukewarm when I got them, and definitely not fresh. The service was quick, but I missed that authentic taste I was craving. It’s a shame because I’ve had much better meals here before. I’m hoping this was just an off day for them.
