" I recently visited Mitla Cafe, and I was blown away! The beef tacos tasted just like what my grandmother used to make. The service was quick, and the staff was incredibly friendly. It was busy since it was Sunday, but we didn't mind waiting a little. The portion sizes were perfect, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. The ambiance is lovely, with lots of history on the walls. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Mitla Cafe, especially given its reputation for being the birthplace of the hard shell taco. Unfortunately, I found the tacos to be quite bland. The ambiance is quaint, but the service fell short of expectations; I felt completely ignored at my table. On a positive note, the portions were generous, but I won't be rushing back for a second experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Foodies unite! If you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further than Mitla Cafe. Their tacos are a game changer; I've never tasted anything like them elsewhere. The service was good, although the restaurant was quite busy when I went. You might have to wait, but trust me, it's worth it for the flavorful dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to eating here given its historic background, but I found my experience to be less impressive than expected. The food was decent but lacked that authentic homemade touch I was hoping for. The ambiance felt a bit outdated, and service was fair at best. It may get better over time, but I might not return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mitla Cafe stands out as a wonderful spot for authentic Mexican fare! The atmosphere is filled with charm, and the food is fresh and packed with flavor. I loved their ground beef tacos, full of seasoning. The staff was friendly, making the dining experience even better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner here with friends. The chips and salsa were fresh, and our entrees came out hot and flavorful. I highly recommend their chile relleno, it's truly exceptional! The staff were friendly, adding to the warm, family-friendly vibe. We will definitely return again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to Mitla Cafe ever since I was a kid! The original crispy tacos remind me so much of my childhood. The portions are generous, and the prices are pretty fair considering the quality. The service can be a bit slow during peak hours, but the food is worth the wait. If you haven't tried their tacos, you're missing out! " (*Curated Review*)
