To be honest, I had no expectations going in, but I left pleasantly surprised. From the service to the overall care of the business, La Superior Taquería proved to be a great spot to grab some bread and maybe a little something for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful — I was a bit confused about where to put the utensils after use, but they answered my questions kindly and made sure I had everything I needed. I also appreciated that digital payment was available, making checkout simple and quick. Overall, it’s a respectful, well-run business, and I would gladly return. - xavier garcia
