" I visited Poquitos last week and was quite disappointed. Though many said the food was authentic, I found the flavors to be lacking. The tamale I ordered was dry and not the ‘home-cooked’ experience I was hoping for. Service was okay but not attentive. I did enjoy the environment, which was bright and colorful, but overall, I was left wanting more from the food experience. I probably won’t return unless I hear significant changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently celebrated a family gathering at Poquitos and it was a delightful experience! The staff was friendly and accommodating, making us feel special throughout our visit. Our favorite was the al pastor—it was simply phenomenal. Everyone left satisfied. I highly recommend this place for a family meal or a casual hangout with friends, especially if you enjoy authentic flavor profiles. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful brunch at Poquitos recently. The ambience is warm and inviting, making you feel like you're in a little slice of Mexico. I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were absolutely delicious—spicy and rich in flavor. However, the service was a bit slow, which took away from the overall experience. I'll definitely return but perhaps on a less busy day to see if the service improves. Worth checking out for authentic eats! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who travels to Mexico often, I can say that Poquitos provides a remarkably authentic dining experience. The dishes here remind me of the vibrant street food I've had in Mexico, particularly the tacos! The atmosphere is lively, and the staff is attentive. Although my only critique is regarding the speed of service—it was a bit slower during the peak hours. Still, absolutely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot of good things about Poquitos and decided to finally give it a try. The tacos were good but didn’t quite live up to the hype. The atmosphere was lively, but the service felt a bit uncoordinated—we were served in a random order. I wouldn’t say my experience was bad, but it also wasn’t exactly what I wanted it to be. Maybe next time will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on previous reviews but my experience was mixed. While the ambiance was delightful, the food didn’t blow me away. My burrito was average at best, and certainly not authentic. The service felt rushed despite it not being very busy. I can appreciate the decor and layout of the space, but the food will likely deter me from returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing buzz about Poquitos from friends, I checked it out and oh boy, the al pastor was the real deal! I felt like I was back in Mexico enjoying street food. The tortillas were fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the wait for my food was a little long, but the staff was courteous the whole time. The patio is a great spot to enjoy your meal. I will be back for taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)
