" Who knew that such great tacos could be found in this part of the city? I decided to try Tacos El Flaco after hearing the buzz around the place. The food was decent but didn't stand out to me as particularly memorable. The service was nice, and the casual atmosphere worked for a quick lunch stop. I'd return if I'm in the area but not making a special trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" No doubt Tacos El Flaco shines in its authenticity! I've tried many taco trucks, but their meats are the freshest, and you can truly taste the love in every taco. The staff is lovely and goes out of their way to make sure you're happy with your meal. I would visit again in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Flaco is a solid choice in a sea of taco trucks. The flavors are usually pretty reliable, and the service is quick, so it's a great option for a quick lunch. Just be mindful that it's cash-only. Overall, you can score a decent meal without breaking the bank here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Flaco has become my unmissable stop for lunch. With delicious and filling tacos that have authentic flavors, I can't resist the temptation. The employees are polite, and I appreciate that they remember my usual order. The only downside is the cash-only payment, which is something to keep in mind before your visit. I always look forward to my next taco fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" You simply can't beat Tacos El Flaco! The carne asada tacos are so flavorful, and the grilled serrano chiles add a perfect kick. Each time I visit, I am impressed by the freshness of the ingredients. The staff is incredibly friendly, which makes the experience even better. I highly recommend trying the veggie super quesadilla—it’s massive and so satisfying. Whether you dine in or grab takeout, this place will not disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a bit torn about my experience at Tacos El Flaco. The tacos I ordered were quite tasty, especially the grilled pork, but they were slightly on the cold side when they arrived. The staff was very kind, letting me know they accept cash only, which is something I forgot to check beforehand. Regardless, the ambiance is very casual, perfect for a quick bite. I could see myself returning, especially with a friend, but I hope they can work on serving their food at a hotter temperature. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding good authentic Mexican food can be a challenge, but Tacos El Flaco exceeded my expectations across the board. The tacos were generously filled, and the flavors reminded me so much of my grandma's cooking. Plus, the burrito I tried was massive—perfect for sharing or for a hearty meal after a long day. Although I had to wait in line, it was worth it for the quality I received. Just a heads-up, they only take cash. Highly recommend for taco lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
