" La Oveja Negra is fantastic! I had enchiladas, and they were some of the best I've ever had. The staff seemed to genuinely care about customer satisfaction, which is refreshing. The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming—it’s perfect for family gatherings or casual outings with friends. I highly recommend this spot and will return whenever I'm in Tacoma.

" I visited La Oveja Negra after hearing all the buzz. I must admit I was intrigued. The barbacoa tacos melted in my mouth with every bite; I couldn’t get enough!

" I have a huge love for Mexican food, and finding La Oveja Negra was a gem! The variety on the menu is great, and I tried several dishes including the pozole and flautas. The pozole was full of rich flavors while the flautas were delightfully crispy. The staff were so accommodating, making the experience even better. They also mentioned doing breakfast on weekends, so I’ll definitely return to explore more. Thank you for the wonderful meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing spot for family meals! I love how they incorporate traditional Mexican flavors with a twist. My kids especially enjoy their tacos, and I appreciate the large portion sizes. It's a bustling atmosphere, especially on weekends, but the staff handle it gracefully. Definitely a restaurant to put on repeat for our family outings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best food in the area without a doubt! You simply must try the menudo; it's prepared so authentically. Service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance had a homey feel—it feels like a family establishment. I plan on returning regularly for my Mexican food fix. A genuinely lovely dining experience.
