" I finally made it to El hijo de TIZOC after months of hearing good things, and it did not disappoint! The fish tacos were phenomenal. The fish was perfectly fried, crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The atmosphere could best be described as vibrant and lively, a perfect setup for a fun meal. My only minor complaint was the wait time for the food, but it's clear the kitchen is working hard to deliver quality. I'll be back for sure, possibly this weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" El hijo de TIZOC gives you an authentic taste of Mexico right in the neighborhood! I loved their authentic enchiladas, which were filled perfectly with nopales and cheese. The salsa was fresh with a kick! The margaritas are a must-try; they were refreshing and well-balanced. The service was friendly and attentive, and I appreciated their recommendations. The only downside was the noise level, which was a bit high, but it added to the lively atmosphere. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

The service could improve slightly in speed, but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment! " (*Curated Review*)

" El hijo de TIZOC quickly became my favorite spot for Mexican food! The variety on the menu is impressive, and everything I tried was fresh and packed with flavor. I particularly loved the sweet churros for dessert; they were crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and my margarita was refreshing. It's a charming little place in the neighborhood, perfect for a fun night out. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Mexican cuisine, and this restaurant truly delivers! The dishes are authentic, reminiscent of what you would find in Mexico. I particularly enjoyed their chilaquiles; they were spicy and satisfying. The ambiance is vibrant, with colorful decor that really brings the culture to life. My only critique would be the portion sizes; while most were generous, I felt the fish tacos could be a tad larger. Still, this place is a gem, and I will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" After visiting El hijo de TIZOC, I've decided that it's now my go-to for authentic Mexican! The atmosphere is welcoming and full of life, and the food is just as inviting. I treated myself to their birria tacos, and they were outstanding; the meat melted in my mouth! The margaritas were everything I hoped they’d be, lovely and refreshing. I did notice that the service could use a little fine-tuning, but I have no doubts that they’ll sort it out. Highly recommend for food-lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
