" I have to express my disappointment with my recent visit to La Presa. The service was extremely slow, and we had to ask multiple times for our drinks. The food, while good, wasn't what I had expected. The portions seemed smaller than before, and they changed the recipe on my favorite dish. It didn’t taste as fresh. Hopefully, they can revert to their original methods, as this used to be one of our favorite spots. " (*Curated Review*)

" Each time I visit La Presa, I leave feeling satisfied. The variety in the menu is impressive, and I’ve yet to have a dish I didn’t enjoy. This time, I opted for chilaquiles and they were delightful, served with a rich salsa verde. The waitstaff is always polite but sometimes seem a little overwhelmed when it gets crowded. However, that won’t keep me from coming back as the food is absolutely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Presa seems to vary in quality; I have had fantastic experiences and some that left me disappointed. My recent order of burritos had way too much rice and not enough protein. The ambiance is lovely, and the waitstaff is usually quite nice. Just be prepared, as portion sizes may fluctuate based on who is in the kitchen. I’d recommend to stick with the classics where the flavors shine! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! Tucked away from the bustling streets, La Presa offers an authentic taste of Mexican cuisine. We ordered the fajitas and they were sizzling and bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, and each dish was beautifully presented. I appreciated the complimentary chips and salsa that arrived right away. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our meal even more enjoyable. This place is definitely on my radar for future visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a nice little restaurant with fantastic food. The enchiladas were delicious and the portion sizes were generous. I loved the fresh salsa they provided; it really complemented the food. The service on the other hand was a little inconsistent. At one point, we didn’t see our server for a while which was a bit frustrating. Nevertheless, the food quality makes up for it somewhat. I'd still recommend it for anyone looking for authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" On the whole, our experience at La Presa was enjoyable. The chips and salsa provided were fresh and addictive. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, while my partner had the tacos. Both dishes were flavorful. While the restaurant had a lively atmosphere, the wait staff was a bit inattentive despite not being overly busy. Nevertheless, for the flavors and experience, I'd rate it positively overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to commend La Presa on their amazing authenticity. The mole was exquisite, the best I’ve tasted outside of Mexico. The staff is warm and welcoming, making it feel like home. However, when they’re busy, the service can slightly falter, as I experienced on my last visit. Nevertheless, I can easily overlook that since the food is consistently delicious and truly hits the spot! " (*Curated Review*)
