" Taqueria Capulhuac is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary escape to Mexico! The barbacoa is cooked to perfection, enveloped in spices that make every bite a delight. I do wish the surroundings were cozier, and service, while friendly, could definitely speed up. Still, don’t let that distract from the food; I can only rave about the experience. I’ll definitely return to sample more of their authentic offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Taqueria Capulhuac is like stepping into a slice of Mexico right in LA. The barbacoa tasted just like my abuela used to make. The consomé was rich and flavorful, served hot just as it should be. I wasn't too keen on the ambiance; it's very laid-back and lacks elegance, but if you're looking for authentic Mexican flavors, this is the place. The service was decent, although I did have to ask a couple of times for my drink. Overall, it's a great spot if you're more concerned about food than decor. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! My first visit to Taqueria Capulhuac was just wonderful. The barbacoa is incredibly flavorful and reminds me of authentic recipes from Mexico. And the consomé? Absolutely superb! The place itself is pretty basic with no fancy decorations, but that allows the food to shine. Staff were polite yet somewhat inattentive. Despite that, I’ll be back to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely meal at Taqueria Capulhuac! The barbacoa was incredible, definitely authentic, and so tender. If you're a fan of Mexican food, you must try their consomé! The only drawback was the atmosphere—it’s a bit too casual for my tastes. The service was average; they were friendly but could have been more responsive. I'll return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend this place enough! The barbacoa here is incredible, full of rich flavor and paired perfectly with the consomé. The staff was friendly, and although the restaurant has a no-frills atmosphere, the food is what really matters. I always find the portions to be just right for the price, and I will definitely be returning soon! Pro tip: Don't skip the lime juice and salsa—they take the tacos to the next level.

" 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*)
