" This place has quickly become a favorite! Their tacos are truly authentic and bursting with flavor. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and combined beautifully with the fresh slaw. I appreciated the ambient decor, making it both comfortable and lively. Service was friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. Still, I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The first bite of the birria tacos transported me to a whole new level. I've never tasted such delicious tacos. The service was friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed when the place got busy, resulting in slight delays. I didn't mind waiting because the food was exceptional. I’ll certainly be back to enjoy more of their specialties. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited during Taco Tuesday and was thrilled with the value! The tacos were excellent, especially the carne asada. The handmade tortillas were a treat and went so well with the salsa options. The place was lively, enhancing the overall experience. I left feeling satisfied and can't wait to come back for the seafood options I saw on the menu. Highly recommend for taco lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the most amazing meal at Mission 19. The carne asada burrito was packed with flavor, and the handmade tortillas made it even better. The environment was cozy, with a great vibe. The only issue was a long wait for food, which dampened the experience a bit. However, the taste made everything worth it. I'm sure I'll return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The taquitos were a delight here. Their charred edges and the filling were perfectly seasoned. However, I was left wanting for a bit more variety in the salsa bar, as I only found a couple of options. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere pleasant, particularly on a sunny day. It's an enjoyable place for a casual bite, but I'd love to explore more creative salsas next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Mission 19 based on its reputation. We walked in and were warmly welcomed. The food was indeed delightful. We ordered various menu items, including the grilled shrimp tacos which were splendid. I particularly loved how fresh the ingredients tasted. The wait was a bit longer than I anticipated, but the food was well worth it. I will return for sure to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried food from here while visiting a friend. I wasn't very impressed. The tacos tasted somewhat bland, not what I expected from a highly rated place. The service was friendly but not very helpful when it came to recommendations. I’ve had better tacos at other places nearby. Perhaps I’ll give it another try when I'm back in town, hoping for a different experience. " (*Curated Review*)
