" I visited Taqueria La Espuela last week and was quite impressed. The chicken fajitas were full of flavor, and the veggies were perfectly cooked. The service was attentive, and my drinks were always filled. Just as a tip, I suggest going early in the week; it tends to get busy on weekends, but that just shows how popular the place is! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best carnitas in the bay area! I've tried various Mexican restaurants, but La Espuela takes the cake. The meat is flavorful and tender, cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is cozy, with such vibrant decor that instantly makes you feel welcome. I'm already planning to come back with my family next weekend to share this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tortillas used in their burritos are simply fantastic! They really stand out in comparison to other places I've tried. I appreciated how they were freshly made on-site. I also noticed that their salsa is made from scratch, which elevates the entire meal experience. They may be limited in terms of drink offerings, but their fresh aguas frescas are refreshing and pair perfectly with the food. I left satisfied and ready to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed! I was really looking forward to a great meal based on the reviews but found the food lacked flavor and authenticity. The service was decent, and I appreciated the fast seating, but I came in craving a flavorful burrito and left feeling underwhelmed. I might give it another shot, but it wasn't the experience I hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family for a weekend dinner and was excited to try various dishes. Unfortunately, a few items were disappointing, like the chilaquiles which lacked seasoning. However, the service was friendly and welcoming, making the evening enjoyable. I hope to give this place another opportunity since they offer a full breakfast menu, which I have not tried yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Espuela is the perfect spot for casual dining. The tacos are fresh, and their total disregard for overpriced drinks is refreshing! The service is warm and accommodating, and I was impressed by how quickly my food arrived. Overall, it's a great place to grab quick bites with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" An authentic Mexican taqueria with great charm and friendly service! I loved the chilis rellenos - so flavorful! The atmosphere was relaxed, perfect for a casual meal. Just a tiny note, try to beat the crowd since it gets really busy. Overall, I’m thrilled with my experience and will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)
