" I gotta say, Taqueria El Girasol is a hidden gem! Every taco I’ve had has been fantastic, especially the carne asada. The flavor is just right, and the portions are more than satisfying. Their hot sauce is a game-changer too, really kicks the tacos up a notch! However, I do wish they had more seating available; it’s quite cozy in there which can get crowded during lunch hours. Still, don't let that deter you from visiting — the food is absolutely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had heard great things about Taqueria El Girasol, my experience was a bit underwhelming. The tacos were decent but didn't have the depth of flavor I was hoping for, especially compared to some other places I've been to. Service was friendly, but the cleanliness of the restaurant could use some improvement. It's a small spot, which can add to the charm, but it felt slightly cramped. Overall, I might give it another try but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Taqueria El Girasol, I leave with a big smile. The tacos are not only massive but bursting with flavor. I particularly love their pollo asado, it’s literally one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, creating a welcoming environment. My only regret is that I can’t eat here every day! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family has enjoyed several meals from Taqueria El Girasol over the years, and the standards never drop! The variety on the menu is impressive, with authentic dishes that remind us of home. Every bite of their birria tacos takes us back to our favorite spots in Mexico. The portions are perfect for sharing, and even our picky eater loves their quesabirria! It's a must-visit for anyone wanting real Mexican flavor without heading downtown. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria El Girasol is a true Mexican gem! I recently catered an event and everyone raved about the food! The birria tacos were a standout so tender and flavorful, paired with well-made salsa. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. While the restaurant has limited seating, we took ours to go, and it was still fantastic. I highly recommend this place for group orders! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love a good find, and this taqueria is one of them! I stumbled upon Taqueria El Girasol while looking for lunch near my office, and I couldn’t be happier. The flavors are spot on and remind me of my time in Mexico. The corn tortillas are handmade, and you can really taste the difference! I tried the el pastor tacos, and they were heavenly. We catered for a small office gathering as well, and everyone raved about how fresh everything tasted. I would definitely order from here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful experience at Taqueria El Girasol! The tacos de lengua were phenomenal, and I loved the fresh salsa that came with each order. The service was quick, but it was bustling inside with limited seating, so I opted for takeout. If you’re looking for authentic flavors and great value for your money, this is the spot. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)
