" After hearing so much about El Hidalguense, my expectations were sky-high. The food was indeed delicious, particularly the tamales! They had the right balance of flavors and spices. Unfortunately, the service left a bit to be desired; it took a long time for our orders to be taken and we felt a bit ignored despite the crowd. The decor is simple but creates a cozy vibe that I appreciated. I will return to give it another try soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Hidalguense on a whim and it turned out to be a great decision! Their carne asada tacos are simply the best. You can taste the freshness in every bite. The service was quick and the staff was welcoming. I didn't experience any of the slow service issues that some people mentioned. The atmosphere is casual – perfect for a laid-back lunch. I could see myself dining here more frequently! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to El Hidalguense and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was lively, filled with laughter and chatter. The kids loved their quesadillas, and I enjoyed a hot bowl of menudo that was both hearty and satisfying. The staff was friendly, although a bit scattered at times. But the overall experience was wonderful. I love that we can find such authentic Mexican food here! We will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great tacos at El Hidalguense! I had their signature barbacoa tacos which are made with fresh ingredients and have a brilliant flavor. The atmosphere feels like home – cozy and welcoming! My single complaint was the long wait for our food, but the taste was so good that it made up for it. I found myself wanting more! Strongly recommend trying their horchata too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very pleased with my meal at El Hidalguense! The camarones a la diabla were spicy and delicious, just the way I like it. The tortillas made fresh were a fantastic addition that made every bite special. The only downside was the slow service, as it took a while to get our order taken. But if you're looking for authentic Mexican flavors that taste as if they came straight from a home kitchen, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I walked into El Hidalguense, I felt the warmth of a family-run restaurant. The tortillas are made fresh daily, which made my tacos incredibly tasty. The barbacoa was melt-in-your-mouth perfection! I've been to many Mexican places, but the authenticity here sets them apart. The only downside was that the place was really busy, and the service was a bit slow. However, the food is completely worth the wait! I'll definitely be back for more delicious meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly disappointed with my experience. The restaurant was cluttered and felt unclean upon entering. I ordered a traditional Torta Cubana, yet it arrived lukewarm and missing some ingredients. Service was pushy, making me feel rushed. Not what I expected from a place known for its authenticity. I voiced my concerns, but it seemed like staff were either overwhelmed or indifferent. I doubt I will return because of this incident. " (*Curated Review*)
