" El Gran Pastor is my new favorite taco spot! I had the fajita quesadillas for the first time, and they were fantastic! The meat was juicy, and the cheese melted perfectly. I also appreciated that they have various hot sauces available. I’m excited to go back and try everything on the menu! My friends were just as impressed, and we're definitely making this our weekly hangout! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a taco night with my friends and ordered a big batch of tacos from Taqueria El Gran Pastor! The al pastor and chicken tacos were huge hits at the party! Everyone couldn’t stop complimenting the flavors. The only hiccup was they forgot to include a couple of waters I had ordered. But overall, I was quite happy with the order, and I would recommend this taco truck to anyone looking for authentic tacos at a reasonable price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely check out Taqueria El Gran Pastor if you haven’t already! I am a huge fan of their carne asada tacos – perfectly grilled! The staff is friendly, and I often got tips on what to order when I've been indecisive. Last time I went, I picked up 3 tacos, some churros, and an agua fresca, and they didn't disappoint! Only thing I would love to see them improve upon is having more outdoor seating available, as it can get crowded! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Taqueria El Gran Pastor earlier this week and was really looking forward to some good tacos. Unfortunately, I found the service to be a bit of a letdown as I was ignored while trying to place my order. The food itself was good, but I felt like there was too little meat in my tacos compared to other places I've been to. I wouldn’t give up on the place just yet as I hear so many great things, so I might return in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to visit El Gran Pastor last week and to say I was blown away is an understatement. The tacos al pastor here are just incredible, with meat that is juicy and tender. The prices are surprisingly affordable, especially for the quality you're receiving. On the downside, I did have to wait a bit longer than expected during peak hours, but that's the price you pay for great food! The staff was pleasant, which made up for the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Taqueria El Gran Pastor yesterday, and I am still raving about the tacos. The al pastor was some of the best I've had outside of Mexico. The flavors were spot on! My only complaint was that it was crowded, but that just shows how popular it is among locals. I tried their agua de jamaica as well, and it was refreshing! I will definitely come back again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must confess that I’ve struggled to find authentic tacos that resonate with the flavors of my time in Mexico until I discovered Taqueria El Gran Pastor. Their tacos al pastor are as good as it gets, with a smoky, delicious flavor that reminded me of street tacos from Mexico City. The service was friendly, and the prices are extremely reasonable. I can see why this truck is a local favorite. Don't miss the agua frescas; they are equally delightful! " (*Curated Review*)
