" I visited Antigua on a Friday night, and while the restaurant was busy, I was happy to find a seat almost immediately. The décor was festive, creating a perfect backdrop for a meal. I ordered the combination plate, which included tacos, enchiladas, and rice. Each item was flavorful, especially the green sauce served with the enchiladas. However, I felt the portion sizes were slightly smaller than expected for the price. Service staff were polite but could have been quicker with refills. Still, I left satisfied and looking forward to my next visit! Rating: 4, 3, 4, 4, 3. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Antigua was a pleasant surprise! The experience began with a warm welcome from the friendly staff. I ordered the steak burrito, which was filled generously. The only downside was my nachos—while they were tasty, they didn't come with enough cheese. The atmosphere was lively yet cozy and perfect for a family gathering! I would come back to explore more of their menu soon. Rating: 4, 4, 5, 4, 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" My girlfriend and I decided to try Antigua this past weekend. The ambiance was delightful, and we enjoyed the lively atmosphere. However, our server seemed rushed and at one point, forgot to bring us our drinks until we had reminded him. Regarding the food, I ordered a taco plate that was good but not as impressive as I hoped given the rave reviews I’d heard. My girlfriend enjoyed her burrito greatly, though. Overall, a decent outing, but I’d expect a little more on my next visit. Rating: 3, 4, 4, 4, 3. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent at Antigua, I was somewhat let down by the authenticity of the flavors. The restaurant boasts traditional dishes, but they seemed to be missing that robust profile typical of Mexican cuisine. Service was friendly, and ambiance was lively, which enhanced the experience. It’s not a bad spot, but I’ll be trying other options first. Rating: 3, 3, 4, 4, 3. " (*Curated Review*)

" Antigua has quickly become our go-to spot for Mexican cuisine! We love the sizzling fajitas that come out with a fantastic aroma—they are truly a feast for the senses! The atmosphere is always friendly and lively, making it a perfect dining choice for both dates and family dinners. Not to mention, their margaritas are spectacular! I tried the mango margarita, and it was sweet but not overwhelming, a balance that can be hard to achieve. The only downside was that sometimes it felt a little busy, and we had to wait for service. Nonetheless, the food more than makes up for it! Rating: 5, 5, 5, 4, 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*)
