" I want to emphasize the quality of the food at Taqueria Capulhuac. Their barbacoa is, without a doubt, some of the best I've ever eaten. The meat is tender, seasoned perfectly, and the consomé is a must-have accompaniment—you won't regret it! They utilize traditional techniques, making each bite a true homage to Mexican cuisine. The service, however, was a bit hit-or-miss during my visits. While some staff members were friendly and attentive, others seemed overwhelmed and dismissive. The no-frills environment adds to the authenticity but might not appeal to everyone. Just be prepared for a casual dining experience without the bells and whistles. That said, I'll continue coming back because the food is just that good! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Taqueria Capulhuac, I finally decided to give it a try. I ordered the barbacoa and was pleasantly surprised. The authenticity is palpable; it genuinely tastes like Mexico City tacos, which is hard to find in Los Angeles. The portion size was generous, and the price points were very reasonable. However, I have to say that the service was quite slow, and my waitress seemed overwhelmed. If you have the patience to wait for excellent food, definitely check it out. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in with high expectations after hearing rave reviews, and I'm happy to report they were met! Every bite of the barbacoa was packed with flavor, and the tacos were perfectly built. However, don't expect much from the décor or atmosphere—it feels more like a basic food stall than a restaurant. Service was decent; it took some time to get a server's attention, but it was manageable. I will definitely be back for the birria! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing, mouthwatering barbacoa! I was completely blown away by how authentic this place feels. The flavors were on point, taking me back to my travels in Mexico. Service could use a little work; it seemed like there was only one person serving during a busy hour, which made things slow. However, I will definitely come back because the food is just that delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! Taqueria Capulhuac offers a unique rustic feel that pairs wonderfully with their authentic barbacoa! I loved how they serve everything in a simple manner, with fresh toppings and good portions. The consomé added such richness to the tacos. The staff were friendly enough, but the pace could improve. Overall, the flavors here are worth a return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic Mexican barbecue, Taqueria Capulhuac should be on your list! Their barbacoa is incredibly flavorful, and when paired with consomé, it's the perfect comfort food. The place has a rustic vibe, which adds to the authenticity, yet the seating can feel cramped when busy. The staff was polite but could be quicker. I’d recommend trying the tacos with all the accompaniments—they really elevate the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently dined here after hearing so much about the fantastic barbacoa, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The meat was juicy, and the consomé was a mouthwatering addition. However, I found the staff to be a bit unprofessional and inattentive. I had to flag someone down just to get a menu. The food is absolutely impressive enough to make me want to return, but I hope to see improvement in their service soon. " (*Curated Review*)
