" What an experience! A very eclectic place with vibrant decorations reflecting the Mexican culture beautifully. We were greeted promptly and seated quickly. My meal, the carne asada, was cooked just right, and the flavor profiles were spot on. The staff was always attentive and friendly. Be careful—it's quite easy to get carried away with those margaritas; they are delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Antigua and will definitely come back for more fantastic food soon! Rating: 5, 5, 5, 5, 5. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Antigua was lovely! The restaurant had a cozy feel, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious; I sampled a variety of tacos, and each had its own distinct taste. One thing that stood out was how fresh the ingredients were. However, the wait time for food was a bit longer than expected, especially considering how less busy it was at that time. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I'm eager to revisit! Rating: 4, 4, 3, 4, 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience at Antigua, and I was thrilled with the quality of the food and the level of service we received. The vibrant colors in the restaurant made for a cheerful atmosphere while we enjoyed our meal. I had the enchiladas suizas, and they were the best I’ve had in a long time! The flavors were delightful, and I felt they stayed true to their Mexican roots. I will most certainly be back. Rating: 5, 5, 5, 4, 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Antigua easily competes with the quality of the food. The vibrant colors and festive decorations make for a lively dining experience! As for the food, the mixed grill we ordered was surely an adventure for the taste buds, with a variety of meats grilled to perfection. The only downside was the long wait for our order, which took away some of the excitement. Our server was apologetic, but it didn’t diminish our overall satisfaction with the meal. I’d come back just for the atmosphere! Rating: 4, 4, 4, 5, 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Antigua last week was a wonderful experience! The ambiance, complete with traditional music, made us feel as though we were in Mexico. We started with their guacamole, which was fresh and tangy—absolutely delicious! For my entrée, I had the shrimp fajitas. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the accompanying veggies were abundant and crispy. The tortillas were warm and fluffy, making every bite enjoyable. My partner ordered the burrito, which was enormous and packed with flavor. Though the service was slightly delayed due to the busy night, it was well worth the wait. A fantastic place for authentic Mexican food! Rating: 5, 5, 4, 5, 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Antigua for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The environment is vibrant and colorful, which added to the fun atmosphere. I started with the chicken flautas, which were cheesy and crispy, just delectable! My main course was carne asada fries, and while I loved the flavors, I felt the portion was smaller than expected. Service was friendly but a little slow, likely due to how busy it was. Overall, a great spot I would recommend! Rating: 4, 3, 4, 5, 3. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Antigua was very satisfying. The vibrant atmosphere is hard to miss and the decorations really set the mood. The food was fresh, but I felt that my seafood tacos were lacking a bit of seasoning. Not enough to ruin the meal, but they could definitely be improved. On the other hand, the guacamole and chips were fantastic. I would return, hoping to try something different next time. Rating: 4, 4, 3, 5, 4. " (*Curated Review*)
