" Visiting Calitacos was a delightful experience from start to finish. The ambiance is casual and friendly, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. I tried their al pastor tacos and was thrilled with the flavors—rich and juicy, with not too much grease. The staff was attentive; however, the wait for food seemed a bit long compared to my expectations when the restaurant wasn’t busy. I’ll definitely give them another visit, as the food itself was delicious, especially paired with their spicy red salsa. I’m excited to try their birria next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not happy with my recent visit to Calitacos. I ordered their carne asada burrito and found it to be way too salty for my taste, and the meat didn't have much flavor. After asking for extra toppings, they forgot to include them, and I ended up with a pretty bland meal. Even though the prices are not high, that was disappointing. On the other hand, I've heard great things about their birria, so perhaps I need to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my experience was a bit mixed. I came in with high expectations after reading so many rave reviews, and while some dishes delivered, others fell flat. The rolled tacos were quite thin and lacking in meat. It felt like I needed to order twice as much to satisfy my appetite. I also experienced a small issue with service; there was confusion over my order that left me frustrated. Still, I appreciated the staff's effort to resolve it. I might return, but I’ll be cautious about my choices next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos at Calitacos are the real deal! I used to travel to California and was missing the authentic taste of Mexican street food, and this spot brings back those memories. We ordered a family-style meal, and everything—from the carne asada to the birria tacos—was exceptionally prepared. The meat is tender and flavorful, paired beautifully with their house-made salsas. The service was welcoming and attentive, adding to the experience. Find a spot here if you’re craving some genuine Mexican eats; you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't even express how much I love this place! The birria tacos are simply out of this world—each bite is filled with flavor and the consomé is just perfect for dipping. The service is exceptional; the staff is always friendly and accommodating, which makes the dining experience even better. The atmosphere is welcoming and the restaurant is always clean. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you receive. I highly recommend trying it out if you find yourself in Buckeye! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying the birria tacos after all the good reviews. I was not disappointed! They were packed with flavor and the side of consomé was flavorful too. The only downside was that I felt my order could have come out a bit quicker. But I’ll certainly be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated a friend's birthday at Calitacos, and I couldn't be happier! The food was delicious, especially the birria; it was a crowd-pleaser! Also, the margaritas were fabulous and drank just right. The service was attentive throughout our visit. Will definitely plan to come back! " (*Curated Review*)
