" Tacos from Calizona are nothing less than fantastic! We celebrated my friend's birthday here, and it was a hit. Everyone loved the food! The birria tacos were a crowd favorite, and we also tried the queso tacos which were equally great! Nice that they have a few benches for seating, but we did end up standing. The service was excellent, very polite! Definitely high on my recommendation list for good tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" The birria tacos at Calizona Tacos are nothing short of amazing! My husband and I decided to give them a try for a quick dinner, and we were blown away. Not only were the tacos fresh and flavorful, but the service was quick, too, considering how busy it was. We loved that they offered homemade salsas to complement our food, making each bite memorable. The only minor issue was that there wasn't enough seating for everyone at peak times, but we found a spot to stand and enjoy the food. Can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had my fair share of tacos around town, and I must say, Calizona Tacos really knocked it out of the park! We got the shrimp and asada tacos, and both were delicious! The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the asada was juicy and flavorful. Each taco was served with their freshly made salsa, which was a flavorful enhancement. My one complaint would be the portion size for the price seemed a tad low; I would prefer a bit more shrimp for my money. Still, I will definitely return to try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Calizona Tacos may just be the best food truck I have ever visited! The birria tacos are out of this world; each bite filled with flavor, and the textures were on point. I felt transported to Mexico with every bite and appreciated how they offered complimentary salsas that added to the experience. It's a small truck, but perfect for grabbing a bite with friends and family. Parking can be tricky, but well worth the effort. I will be a loyal customer for life after this experience!

" I recently visited Calizona Tacos for the first time and came away impressed! The birria tacos are everything you would expect from an authentic taco truck. I loved the tender meat and flavorful toppings, with the option to dip them in the rich broth. The staff were welcoming and eager to help. One thing I could recommend is adding a few more items to the menu to cater to different palates, but as it stands, this truck is a gem in the taco world. I’ll definitely be returning for more.

" I was introduced to Calizona Tacos by a friend, and I can't thank them enough! The qesabirria tacos were perfectly cheesy and tasty, served alongside delicious broth that enhanced the meal. The portion size was generous and I felt it was reasonably priced given the quality. The only thing I would mention is that we had to wait a little while on the food, but they were super busy, and it was absolutely worth the wait! I will be returning and bringing all my friends with me next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, here's the scoop. My best friend and I decided to give Calizona Tacos a shot on a Wednesday afternoon based on all the rave reviews, and wow, were we pleasantly surprised! The tacos were outstanding; every component was fresh and flavorful. We enjoyed a mix of the carne asada and shrimp tacos, and both were equally delicious. The seasoning on the shrimp was perfect – simple yet flavorful. They have a cozy outdoor setup, though it can get a bit crowded. The service was prompt, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there. If you're looking for great food and a laid-back atmosphere, make sure to hit Calizona Tacos! This place is now on my must-visit list whenever I’m in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
