" I can't speak highly enough of my experience at Xolotacos! The birria was undeniably authentic and rich in flavor. The outdoor seating was enjoyable, especially on a sunny day. The staff capacity could improve slightly, especially during peak hours. Overall, a delicious experience I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. I anticipate returning this week! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Xolotacos after seeing it pop up on my feed, and it was worth every penny! The birria had great depth of flavor, just as I expected. However, the service was a bit hit or miss depending on how busy they were. That said, the flavors really transport you to a taco stand in Tijuana. I left satisfied and can't wait to come back to explore more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" At first, I was skeptical given the hype, but boy, did Xolotacos deliver! The fish tacos were fresh, and the birria tacos had an authentic taste reminiscent of a street taco stand in Tijuana. The only downside was the service was a bit slow on the day I visited. But, I think the flavorful experience of the food made up for that. Can’t wait to come back and bring friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this food truck on a very busy Saturday and was a bit overwhelmed by the wait. However, once I finally got my tacos, it was SO worth it! The birria was flavorful, though I found it a bit oily for my taste. The seating area outside had nice vibes, and even with the long line, the service was friendly and helpful. I think it's incredible to have a genuine taste of Tijuana right in San Diego. I can see myself coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" These are the best tacos I've had outside of Mexico. Each taco is filled with authentic flavors. I appreciate that they source high-quality ingredients. Xolotacos is a delightful gem that stands out from other taco shops in San Diego. The only downside was that it was quite busy, but that generally speaks to how popular they are!

" Xolotacos is the place to be if you're a taco enthusiast! The various tacos I tried were bursting with flavors; I especially loved the shrimp and birria. However, be careful — during my visit, the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours, and the wait was longer than expected. But don't let that deter you! The tacos more than make up for any delay. I appreciate a place that serves authentic food with such vibrant tastes. Can’t wait to go back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos are a must-try! My family came here on a whim, and we were pleasantly surprised. Authentic flavors with a variety of options. I ordered the birria tacos and some aguas frescas, and everything was refreshing and delightful. The ambiance was pleasant, although it got a bit crowded, which made it slightly noisy. Overall, I highly recommend for a casual lunch outing! " (*Curated Review*)
