" I always come here for their cheap, incredible tacos! Taco Tuesday is da bomb! They have a diversity of meats to choose from and the fresh salsa really takes it to the next level. This is my go-to place after work whenever I'm craving comfort food. Just don’t go in expecting a posh ambiance—it’s all about the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at El Taco Veloz last week, and it was a mixed bag. The food was tasty and fresh, but I was disappointed with the wait for my meal. It took a while and the place was not that busy. I’d still recommend their tacos, but they should work on their service time. " (*Curated Review*)
