NORTEÑOS TAQUERIA REVIEWS

Wanted somewhere different to have lunch and after reading the reviews this place fit the bill. Luv the decor, so bright and friendly. Staff were just amazing and friendly. After stating I’ve always been curious about pork belly she showed me a new dish with it. I was sold and didn’t regret. Found out I love pork belly especially when served with their pickled onions and jalapeño garlic aioli. I also snarfed a chicken tostada which was to die for. Washed this fab meal down with their margarita. Will be back here again to try more of their menu.

The food here was amazing!!! I had the carnitas de peurco taco, Birria tacos, and a chicken tostada and everything was perfect. I got the mild salsa with the taco and it was to die for! It was hard to pick a favourite because everything was so good but if I had to pick it would probably be the Birria tacos. The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was so cute and welcoming! I will definitely be going back ASAP!.

Absolutely amazing after a long day of driving we were definitely happy to sit and enjoy awesome service, the best wings I have ever eaten (chipotle honey) and delicious margaritas!!!.

TACOTIME REVIEWS

The staff was amazing! Even when another customer was impatient and demanding their food they all stayed calm and professional, got the man's food an continued to attend to the rest of the guests! Great service.

A+ customer service from Kayleigh from the moment I walked in, until I left. Zoe also did a great job at making my burrito and offering advice regarding tourism in the city. Thank you Taco Time.

Eat here a couple times a month. Staff is very professional and courteous. Sharan and Cathy always make it a point to say hello, and are genuinely friendly.

BARBURRITO REVIEWS

Absolutely loved my experience at BarBurrito! The burrito was delicious and easily one of the best in town. The service was excellent as well—big thanks to Prateek and Vishal for being so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Great food, great service, and a great overall experience. Highly recommended.

I had a great experience at Barbarito. The shop is clean, professional, and has a really good vibe from the moment you walk in. Everyone is welcoming and you can tell they care about their work. Nirav did an amazing job he’s skilled, patient, and really pays attention to detail. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered a clean, sharp cut that exceeded my expectations. You can tell he takes pride in his work and wants his clients to leave happy.

We come here pretty often, and Nirav and honestly everyone else on the team too makes the experience so much better every time. He’s always super friendly and actually remembers us, which is really nice and something that doesn’t happen a lot. We’ve even seen him working at Taco Bell as well, and he’s just as kind there. The rest of the workers are great too; everyone’s welcoming and works really well together. Always a good experience, and the food is great.
