" I stopped by Efren's Deli after hearing great things, and it did not disappoint! The tacos were full of flavor, and the carne asada was perfectly cooked. The atmosphere felt welcoming, which made my dining experience all the better. My only critique would be a slight wait in service, but I would definitely return for these authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a local and have been coming to Efren's for years. The ambiance has only improved with the renovations. Every visit gets better—it's amazing how consistent the quality remains. Their micheladas are the best in town, and I strongly recommend the buche tacos. I admire how they manage to keep the traditional flavors alive while welcoming new customers. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was pretty busy when I went for lunch, and I understand why! The tacos were fresh and absolutely delicious, but it took longer than I expected to receive my order. The staff was friendly and managed the crowd well. If you're in a rush, plan ahead, but if you have the time, it’s well worth the wait for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an opportunity to visit Efren's while on a road trip and didn’t regret it! I ordered the shrimp ceviche, and WOW, it was incredibly fresh! The atmosphere was laid back with friendly staff who came by often to check on us. I’m dreaming of the ceviche, and can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! I was searching for authentic Mexican food, and Efren's surpassed my expectations. I especially loved the queso tacos, which were bursting with flavor. The establishment itself was cozy, with decorations that reminded me of Mexico. I will certainly be returning with my family soon! " (*Curated Review*)
