" Authentic Mexican food done right! Their tacos de carnitas are my favorite. However, the service can be a little hit or miss. Make sure to double-check your order because I've had a couple of mix-ups. Love the atmosphere, but I think they need to work on training their staff better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Tacos El Único after hearing so much about it. I ordered a variety of items, and while some were excellent, others fell flat. The service was decent, but I did experience a mix-up with my order. They were very apologetic and offered a discount on my next visit, which I appreciated. I think I'll give it another try, but I do hope their food consistency improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this restaurant! The tacos are consistently great, and the horchata is one of the best I've had. It's refreshing and goes perfectly with the spices of the tacos. My family and I visit almost every weekend, and we've never been disappointed. A hidden gem in the neighborhood for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a taco lover, I had to check out Tacos El Único after hearing so much hype. I wasn’t disappointed! The tacos here are superb, the carne asada is tender, and the salsas are delicious. The only drawback was the long line, but it’s worth the wait. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" So glad I discovered Tacos El Único! No matter what you order, you're in for a treat. The flavors are on point, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite. Plus, the service staff are friendly and accommodating. My favorite spot for taco cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tacos El Único last week and ordered their carne asada burrito, and it was incredible. The flavors were on point, though the portion was a bit smaller than I remembered. The environment is cozy, but there was a lot of noise from the kitchen and other guests. The staff was friendly, but the line was long, which took away from the experience a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Tacos El Único while looking for a quick bite to eat. I ended up being pleasantly surprised by their authentic tacos! The flavors were bold and delicious, and the prices are fair. I will definitely be returning to try more items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)
