" Had lunch here recently and liked it for the most part. The tacos were delicious, but I think the service could be improved. It took a bit longer than I expected to get my order, and the seating felt cramped. However, the flavor of the food was so spot on that I could overlook the minor inconveniences. A solid choice for authentic eats. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Tacos El Forastero a few times now, and I think they really excel in their authenticity. The birria was rich and flavorsome, and the tacos de cabeza were equally impressive. However, on one occasion, my order was mixed up, and I did feel a bit brushed off when raising my concern. It was such a small mistake, but customer service shouldn't neglect that. Food-wise, though, it’s an experience you must try. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're on the hunt for authentic tacos in San Antonio, Tacos El Forastero should be at the top of your list. The birria tacos are a personal favorite, bursting with flavor. I also tried the fish tacos, which were perfectly crispy and fresh! The only downside is that the location is a little tricky to find, but trust me, it's worth it. Don't forget to bring cash, as they only take it! Overall, an amazing experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just popped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised! The taco de cabeza was particularly good, tasty and very authentic. They also had a refreshing lemonade that paired nicely. Service was quick but could be more engaging. This place has great potential. Will definitely come back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This food truck embodies the essence of Mexican street food, and you can bet I'll be returning for more! My favorites were the ceviche tostadas; they were exquisite! Super refreshing with fantastic flavor. The tacos were also excellent—each bite transports you straight to Mexico. Just a heads up, the service can be a bit slow because it's a one-man operation at times, but the food is well worth the wait! Bring cash, and prepare for an authentic experience. Highly recommend!

" Good authentic tacos! We tried different varieties from carnitas to cabeza, and they were all incredible. The only downside is the lack of seating. They just have a couple of benches but the quality of the food more than compensates for it. I will definitely be back, and I recommend it to anyone in the area looking for great street tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Tacos El Forastero, and it didn't disappoint! The fish tacos were some of the best I've ever had. They're light, fresh, and full of flavor. Although the service was a bit slow because it was busy, the wait was definitely worth it. Also, don't forget to ask for their salsa; it packs a nice punch! " (*Curated Review*)
