" This place has become my go-to for lunch! Their mole chicken is a must-try, and the staff is always accommodating. Every time I visit, I leave feeling satisfied. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, perfect for a lunch break or casual dinner. The only complaint I have is sometimes things can get a bit busy, and I’m left waiting longer than I’d like. " (*Curated Review*)

" My go-to spot for authentic tacos! The staff takes the time to explain the menu, which I appreciate. Everything I’ve ordered has been delicious, especially the flautas! No complaints about service either— always friendly and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried almost every Mexican restaurant in the area, but this one is at the top! The salsa is fresh, and the food tastes like it was made in someone's kitchen. I appreciate that they offer many vegetarian options, which are hard to find elsewhere. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. I’ll definitely be visiting again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Olamendi's after hearing rave reviews from friends, and I must say, they were absolutely right! The restaurant has a cozy feel and the staff treats you like family. My carne asada tacos were incredible! They tasted so fresh and authentic, definitely unlike anything from a typical fast food Mexican joint. The only downside was the wait time, but the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is decent, but sometimes it falls flat. I found the flavors to be lacking in my previous visit. On the other hand, the taco platter was generous, and I consistently receive solid service from the team here. It’s a nice spot overall, but not always up to par. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (149)

" I had high expectations based on previous reviews. The atmosphere was inviting, but the food fell short of authenticity for me. The fish tacos were overcooked. I really wanted it to be great, but it felt more like Americanized Mexican food. I may give it another try to see if it was an off day, as the service was kind. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a hidden gem! Great flavors, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. I had the best tamales I've ever tasted here; they were freshly made and authentic. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I will definitely come back again, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Mexican food!
