"This needed changes to reduce use of present continuous tense."

"This is a good write-up overall. However, don't forget to use prepositions correctly in your sentences. For example, "Get married with flavor!" should be "Get married to flavor!""

"Get married to flavor! Our tacos are filled with an authentic taste that you will fall in love with. Come and enjoy with us the best Mexican experience in town!"

"Get married with flavor! Our tacos are filled with authentic taste that you will fall in love with. Come and enjoy with us the best Mexican experience in town!"
