" Taqueria La Frontera is not your average taco place. Their flavors are like a party in your mouth! I had the carne asada tacos, and they didn't disappoint. Everything seemed fresh, and the tortillas were handmade. The only downside was the noise level; it can get a bit loud during busy hours. But, if you focus on the food, which is absolutely delicious, you won't care about anything else. Can't wait to go back again next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a journey! My family and I visited Taqueria La Frontera after hearing many good recommendations. We decided to try a little bit of everything – tacos, pupusas, and birria. To say we were impressed would be an understatement. The flavors were vibrant and authentic, each dish tasted like it was prepared with care and love. The only downside was the wait time, but once the food arrived, it was apparent that it was freshly made! Highly recommend if you're looking for real Mexican comfort food. We'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Taqueria La Frontera was pretty good overall. The tacos had great flavor, but I feel like they could have been a bit more generous with the portion sizes. I also noticed that the service was slightly slow considering there were not many people in the restaurant at the time. The atmosphere was cozy, however; perfect for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this place because I've heard so many good things, but my experience was mixed. I ordered the carne asada fries expecting a generous serving of meat. Unfortunately, the fries came with very little carne asada, which was disappointing. The flavor was good, yet I felt cheated on the portion. Customer service was decent, although I did have to wait longer than usual for my food to arrive. I hope to give it another shot as others rave about the birria tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great meal here last weekend! I tried the tacos al pastor, and they were spot on! Fantastic flavor, and the guacamole was fresh, perfect blend of spices. However, we did experience a long wait before the food arrived, so it could be a bit frustrating for those on a tight schedule. Despite that, I would still recommend trying this place if you love Mexican food. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, Taqueria La Frontera exceeded my expectations! The tacos de birria were the highlight of my visit. They were tender and packed with flavor. The handmade tortillas complemented them perfectly. The atmosphere was inviting and reminiscent of a classic Mexican eatery. My only complaint would be the wait time, but it was well worth it. I can't wait to come back next week. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not great, trust the reviews! I was excited because I have heard so much about this place, but I found the food lacked flavor and was on the bland side. The portion sizes were adequate but did not reflect the price point. Service was decent but forgettable. I probably won't be coming back based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)
