" My friends and I visited for dinner and we had an amazing time! The restaurant is charming and serves some truly delightful dishes. I had the quesadilla with flor de calabaza, which was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. The only downside was a slightly long wait for the food, but it was worth it! We are already making plans to go back ASAP! " (*Curated Review*)

" Exceptional experience! We came in as a large group, and the staff handled our orders flawlessly. The food was rich in flavor and fulfilling. Tackling a couple of the spicy dishes was an adventure; I will say be careful if you're not accustomed to heat. That said, everything I had was delicious! My hat goes off to the kitchen for their authenticity and great taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" A solid choice for authentic Mexican food! The tacos were fresh, and I loved the homemade salsa accompanying them. I even got to chat with the owner who shared family recipes, adding a personal touch to the experience. The service could use a little more speed, but the food makes up for it. Overall, a pleasant dining experience, will come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to many Mexican restaurants, but La Juquilita stands out for its authenticity and taste. The atmosphere is charming and makes you feel right at home. I thoroughly enjoyed the pozole and can't wait to return to try the rest of the menu! Generally, it's a fantastic experience, I could definitely recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were drawn in by the authentic decor, and the food did not disappoint! I had the carne asada burrito, and it was bursting with flavor. At times, the service was a bit slow during peak hours, but the vibrant atmosphere helped soften the wait. I'll be returning for more of their traditional cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Juquilita has quickly become my favorite spot for Mexican food. The flavors are incredibly authentic, truly transporting me to Mexico! I ordered a platter with various meats and was impressed with every single item. Everything was fresh, and generous portions filled the table. I appreciate the staff's hospitality and knowledge of their menu. A delightful dining experience from start to finish! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was absolutely wonderful, though I found wait times to be longer than I'd expect during a busy lunch hour. The staff was polite but clearly had a lot on their plates. I tried the tacos de lengua, and they were out of this world; best I’ve had outside of Mexico! I’ll likely return but will try going during off-peak times to avoid the wait. " (*Curated Review*)
