" Just had to share my love for El Norteño! The birria tacos there are hands down the best I've had. They melt in your mouth and are incredibly flavorful! I often get takeout to avoid the limited seating issue. Highly recommended if you appreciate authentic Mexican food. I’ll definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Norteño has simply the best birria tacos in the Dallas area! The depth of flavor is unlike any other taco spot I've tried. Each taco was loaded with meat, and the fresh salsa gave it that perfect kick. It's a tiny spot, but it feels homey, and the customer service was exceptional. Definitely worth the drive! " (*Curated Review*)

The service was quick and friendly. If you're in search of authentic flavors in a cozy setting, definitely check them out! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Norteño is now one of my favorite go-to taco spots. The birria tacos are next level! Juicy, flavorful, and so satisfying. The salsa gives it a nice spicy kick, and the staff is always welcoming. The only challenge is finding parking. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The birria tacos at El Norteño are unlike any other. Each taco is bursting with rich and savory juices, complementing the crispy tortillas perfectly. The service was superb; the staff is attentive and friendly. The only issue is that the restaurant is quite small, making me wish they had more space. Regardless, I’ll be returning soon, even if I have to get takeout again! " (*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.
