" I can't speak highly enough of this place. If you want real, authentic Mexican food, look no further! The flavors are spot on, and the tacos are always filled generously with good quality meat. I particularly loved their carnitas. The best part is that everything is so reasonably priced! I always leave satisfied and can't wait to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a big fan of Mexican cuisine, I decided to give Taqueria Zavala a try. I ordered tacos al pastor and wasn’t blown away. They were fine, but I've had better. The handmade tortillas were decent though. Service was average and the atmosphere was rather cramped. I might come back to try other menu items since I've heard good things about their enchiladas. Just not sure about the al pastor. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria Zavala #1 is one of those places you visit when you want a satisfying plate of honest Mexican food without frills. The tacos are always juicy, and the ingredients taste fresh. It's no frills; just honest food in a casual setting. Parking can be tough, but it's worth it for the quality. A must-stop for any taco lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Impressed by the quality of food and service at Taqueria Zavala! I tried their birria tacos, and they were packed with flavor. Every bite was a taste of heaven! The only issue was that the atmosphere can get a bit chaotic during lunch hours. Regardless, I’ll definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had to share my experience! Taqueria Zavala is one of those hidden gems with an inviting vibe. Their tacos are always fresh, and the staff is as friendly as can be. I highly recommend pairing the tacos with their homemade salsa for a fiery kick. Just be mindful of the parking situation; it can be tight! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Taqueria Zavala for over a year now and I can confidently say their tacos are the best in the area! The tortillas are always freshly made, and the meats are flavorful. One thing I love is their rich salsa that perfectly complements the tacos. Just remember, this is a small place, so it can get cramped if you decide to eat in. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Taqueria Zavala based on the reviews, but my experience was disappointing. I ordered the cheese enchiladas and while the cheese was gooey and delicious, the sauce was bland and unseasoned. Plus, the wait for my order was over 30 minutes, and it wasn't busy at all. I feel like they might have great tacos based on what others said, but I wouldn't recommend enchiladas here. Maybe I'll give it another chance sometime. " (*Curated Review*)
