" I visited El Cabo Pepe's after hearing so much hype about their tacos. I tried the bone marrow taco, which was good but a bit on the pricey side. The flavors were solid, yet I've had better birria elsewhere. The service was friendly, and I enjoyed the casual vibe of the food truck setting. It may not be my go-to taco place, but I'm glad I tried it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos at El Cabo Pepe's are fantastic, but I do have a warning for newcomers: be prepared for some potential wait times, especially during busy lunch hours. I personally loved the mulitas and would recommend grabbing the consomé on the side to elevate your meal. The flavors were richly authentic and brought me back to my trips to Mexico. I had a small issue with my order, but the staff were helpful and resolved it quickly. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I visited El Cabo Pepe's, and wow, it exceeded my expectations! The birria tacos were hands down the best I've had anywhere. The meat was tender, and the tacos were loaded with authentic flavors. I also enjoyed the spicy salsa that added just the right kick. The wait was considerable, but it’s a food truck experience, so I was prepared for that. I will certainly be returning next weekend with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly not the best experience I’ve had. The tacos were decent but I expected something more outstanding based on the reviews. I found them to be a little too greasy for my liking. However, the staff was friendly, and they served the food quickly. Not sure if I would recommend it to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try El Cabo Pepe's after hearing so much about it, but unfortunately, my experience fell short. The tacos were okay but lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for. Despite the staff being friendly, the service was slower than I would have liked. Overall, it was just an average experience for me; I might try a different food truck next time! " (*Curated Review*)
