" I've tried many taco places, and El Norteño stands out in flavor and authenticity. Their birria tacos are a must-try! The staff were friendly and prompt with my order, which I really appreciate. The atmosphere is casual, which I like, but note that seating can be a challenge. I wouldn't hesitate to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're on the hunt for authentic birria tacos, El Norteño is where you want to go! I decided to check this place out based on a friend's recommendation, and I'm so glad I did! The tacos were bursting with flavor, and the consome was rich and savory. The only downside was the small seating area; it's really more of a grab-and-go spot. Overall, I'd rate them a perfect 5 for their birria, service, and authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing spot! I went for the first time and had the barbacoa tacos. The meat was so tender, seasoned perfectly, and really hit the spot. The service staff handled my order quickly and with a smile, but I noticed that the seating was limited. It may be a challenge on busier days, but takeout works perfectly! Can't wait to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at El Norteño is so good! Their tacos rank at the top of my list of best Mexican food. It's family-run, which adds to the charm. You feel like part of the family when you walk in. I love their crunchy quesadillas with birria! I do wish they had a bigger space for dining, but I usually just take out. Highly recommended if you want authentic flavors in a casual setting.
