How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

15$ for a burrito these days. If you bring your wife & kids then bring like 80$$ and that doesn't include extra salsa. Because you only get one half filled.

I hadn't ate king taco in a long time , I was reminded why!. The tacos are dry , the taco de chicharon was nasty, the cashier was rude, and the amount of onion they throw on there was ridiculous. More like an onion taco. I'm done with king taco.
