" My friend and I were looking for a place to grab a quick lunch, and we found ourselves at Taquerías Atotonilco. As we walked in, the smell of tacos wafted through the air and got us excited for what was to come. The tacos were tasty, but I expected larger portions for the price. The place was clean, which is always a plus, but be aware that they only take cash, which we didn’t have. We had to leave empty-handed, which was a real bummer! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Taquerías Atotonilco was a delightful experience. I ordered the chicken and steak tacos, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavor came alive the moment you took a bite. They also have a variety of salsas to choose from that elevates the tacos even more. Fair warning though, it's cash only! Luckily, they do have an ATM inside the restaurant for convenience. Highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious taco fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" I remember visiting Taquerías Atotonilco many years ago, and the experience did not disappoint! The tacos are as delicious as I remember. I particularly liked the barbacoa. The meat was tender and full of flavor. Just a heads up – it's a cash-only place, which can be a bit inconvenient, but they have an ATM inside. Overall, a great spot for late-night tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic tacos! I can honestly say that the Al Pastor is one of the best I've ever had. The flavor was incredible and the portions were more than generous! I will say the seating area is a bit cramped, so be prepared for a tight fit, especially during peak hours. Thankfully, the service was friendly and efficient. I can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to stop by this restaurant during a friend's visit. Overall, I was quite pleased with the Al Pastor tacos. The meat was juicy and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the fresh tortillas. However, I did experience a bit of a wait during peak hours which was unfortunate. But once I got my tacos, all was forgiven! I can't wait to return and try more of the menu soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the chance to pop into Taquerías Atotonilco after reading rave reviews online. The tacos were flavorful, but I had higher expectations based on the feedback. The cash-only policy didn't help either, as I didn't come prepared. The staff was friendly, so that was a plus. While I enjoyed my meal, I'm not sure I would make a special trip back unless I hear better things about the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place due to all the positive reviews. Although the flavors were good, I felt a bit let down by the overall experience. The Al Pastor tacos were decent, but when I ordered birria, the meat seemed a bit dry and not as flavorful as I expected. The service was okay, but nothing to write home about. I might give it another try but am not in a rush to go back. " (*Curated Review*)
