" This place is the real deal! I love how they serve authentic Mexican dishes without all the Tex-Mex fluff. On my first visit, I ordered the enchiladas and they were fabulous! However, I had a slight issue where my order got mixed up, and they were pretty slow to give me my correct order. And, the seating is limited, so it can be a bit uncomfortable waiting sometimes. I'm still giving it a solid score because the food was worth it, and I plan to visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mediocre at best. I felt the food at Almansita's was overcooked, and it lacked the authenticity that I was expecting based on reviews. The service was a little inattentive; our server forgot about us halfway through. I did enjoy the atmosphere as it was cozy, but unfortunately, that didn’t redeem the lackluster food. I probably won’t be returning unless I hear good things about a new dish on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying Almansita's, and I was excited based on all the positive reviews. I ordered the carne asada tacos and California burrito. The flavor was off for me; I was expecting a smoky taste and it didn't deliver. It's also a bit pricey for what you get—almost $15 for a burrito that was mostly rice. I might give it another shot, but I'm not in a rush. The atmosphere was basic, not a lot to see or keep you entertained while waiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many friends rave about Almansita’s, I finally decided to check it out! The flavor was authentic, especially in their tacos. I loved how they use fresh ingredients! However, the service was a bit confusing; one server would take our order and another would deliver it, which got mixed up at times. Despite that, the food was great enough for me to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a local and I've tried a lot of Mexican spots, but Almansita's really hits the right spot. Their red sauce is spicy yet flavorful, and paired with the tacos made for a perfect combination. The service is prompt, and the portions match the price point. It can get a little busy, but that's a great sign! I love that I can get a taste of home right here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been searching for good authentic Mexican food in Fort Collins, and I think I’ve found it at Almansita's! The flavors are spot-on and transport me back to my days in Southern California. The corn tortillas they use are incredibly soft, and I loved the chicken tamales—definitely a must-try! I noticed a few hiccups with our order, as they messed up one dish, but they were quick to resolve it without hassle. I'll certainly be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Almansita’s has something for everyone. The breakfast burrito is a killer hangover cure! Their chorizo is well-spiced and the eggs are fluffy without being overly greasy. The only downside is that the place can get really loud during peak hours, making it hard to hold a conversation. Happy to recommend this spot if you're in the mood for hearty Mexican dishes!
