" In terms of authenticity, this restaurant nails it! The torta ahogada is delicious, filled with fresh ingredients and flavorful sauce. However, had an issue with receiving the wrong order. Correctly, they offered a solution, but the mix-up took away from the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed the food greatly, but the service could use some work. Our waiter seemed distracted at times, but the tortas ahogadas made up for the wait. Will definitely try again but may come during off-peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tortas are divine! I especially enjoyed the spicy salsa that added a nice kick without overwhelming the dish. The waitstaff were friendly, but I felt they could use more guidance on promptness during busy hours. Nonetheless, I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every bite of my torta ahogada brought me back to the heart of Guadalajara—the flavors are so authentic! The amount of filling was generous too. Only complaint was the cramped seating, but it adds to the local feel of the place. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become a favorite! Their torta ahogada is exceptional and full of flavor. I only wish they had more outdoor seating, as the inside can get quite packed during lunch. But don't let that deter you; the food is fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly the best torta ahogada I've ever had! The bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with the perfect amount of spicy goodness. The only downside was the somewhat small dining area, but it's worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was recommended to me by a friend, and boy did it not disappoint! The tortas are crispy and full of flavor. Very homey atmosphere. I think I’ll be back for another round soon! " (*Curated Review*)
