"Betzy's Tacos is truly exceptional! The birria tacos and carnitas Super Burrito are authentic and delicious. Everything is fresh and flavorful. So many choices for soft taco filling as well. You can taste that every item is made with love and care. And the staff is friendly and exceptional as well. I look forward to trying it all! A perfect gem! "
"The burrito barely had any meat with a lot of beans. The amount of rice was good but it was basically a rice and bean burrito rather than an asada super burrito. I also removed the guacamole, cheese and sour cream but the portion to meat was bad so I can only imagine how it would be like with the rest of the normal ingredients. It also tasted average at best for the same reasons above with the tortilla being hard in some places like it was fried. I will not order again as this is the second time I've ordered with the same result."

"This place is cheesy tacos (which I loved and was sad to see go, but the then owner promised me the new owner would cary the torch) They succeeded and even made the delicious creations BETTER than the original. OMG! I got into my first carne asada cheesy taco, literally first bite, and I was ecstatic! I almost called them to tell them how extremely excited I was to have the cheesy goodness but elevated back in my belly once again because the wait was long and sad as this was one of my weekly or by-weekly must haves. I tried the vegetarian option recommended by my sister in law and boy was it nearly as good as the asada. It contained sweet potatoes, black beans and Cauliflower, can't forget the cheesy goodness! I highly recommend even if your a carnivore like yours truly. Honestly, I order this vegetarian cheesy tqcos first now because it's they are my favorite."
"I always forget how good their food is but when I buy it again I'm always happy and content with the flavor of their food. I've tried all the various meat options for the Calzado and they're all good, so choose depending on your preference. The shrimp flavor pleasantly surprised me it's a very good flavor to choose if you're pescatarian."
