" Just had the best tacos at Tacos El Jerry! If you love authentic Mexican food, this is the place. The birria tacos are a highlight for sure - melt-in-your-mouth goodness! I paired them with their homemade consome for dipping, which made the experience even better. Service was quick and easy, and the spot is clean and well-kept despite the truck setup. The prices are fair, particularly for the flavors you're getting. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Jerry is a fantastic spot for a quick bite! The al pastor tacos are definitely a highlight. I also loved their agua de jamaica, a perfect drink to wash down the spicy flavors. The staff were friendly and the service was fast. It’s a food truck, so don’t expect a sit-down restaurant vibe, but the flavors make it worth the visit. I will for sure return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tacos El Jerry after hearing all the buzz about their quesabirria tacos. While I found them to be delicious, I was somewhat let down by the portion sizes. The flavors were there, but I wouldn't say they were enough to satisfy a big appetite. The service was friendly and fast, but overall I’d want to see slightly better value for what I received. However, I do plan to give them another shot soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance is a classic taco truck setup and it makes for a cozy place to grab a meal. Tacos El Jerry delivers on flavor, and the birria tacos are definitely the highlight. The service here is fast and friendly – almost too fast before I could ask for extra toppings! I appreciate that they use fresh and quality ingredients, which you can taste. I'll have to come back and try the rest of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Tacos El Jerry after hearing so many recommendations, but my experience didn’t quite live up to them. While I appreciated the handmade tortillas, the flavors of the salsas were overwhelmingly spicy to the point that I couldn’t enjoy the food. The birria tacos were decent but lacked the cheesy goodness I expected based on what I've read. The staff was friendly, which was a plus, but the overall experience felt just average. I might give it another shot but not anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The quesabirria tacos are next level; the flavor is just divine! They make their tortillas in-house and you can really taste the difference. I also ordered a piña agua fresca, which was the perfect refresher. The service was top notch, they were friendly and quick with the orders. The only downside was the atmosphere - it's a food truck, so don’t expect a fancy dining area, but it’s totally worth it for the food. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to Tacos El Jerry based on a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed. The carne asada tacos were flavorful and expertly grilled, making them some of the best I've had. The service was incredibly quick and the staff was very patient with my numerous questions on the menu items. One thing I wished for was more options on the side, though. The salsa they offered was excellent! Would definitely return for another meal, but perhaps I’ll call ahead next time to reduce waiting. " (*Curated Review*)
