" As someone who has visited several Mexican restaurants in the Seattle area, I can confidently say that La Cocina Oaxaqueña stands out for its authenticity! The freshness of ingredients was evident in every bite I took, particularly in the tacos de pescado, which were delightful. The service was friendly, albeit a bit pressed for time during the lunch hour; however, the food more than made up for it. I really appreciated their salsa bar, which offered various choices to enhance our meal. I would absolutely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Cocina Oaxaqueña is a delightful find! The variety of dishes they offer is truly vast. I had the enchiladas, which were definitely on point, rich with flavor and served hot. I also appreciated their salsa bar which allowed for tasty flavor combinations. The staff was friendly, but I did notice that they seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. Overall, a solid choice for authentic Oaxacan cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" At La Cocina Oaxaqueña, I tried their famous enchiladas along with the carne asada. I found the carne asada to be tasty but slightly under-seasoned compared to authentic recipes. However, the enchiladas were excellent! I loved the salsa we added from the salsa bar—it gave a nice kick to the dish. The restaurant definitely has a cozy vibe, perfect for enjoying a long meal with friends. Service was decent, but we waited a bit longer for our food. Overall a fun experience, and I would recommend!

" Yesterday, I experienced an amazing lunch at La Cocina Oaxaqueña! I enjoyed the black bean soup and a vegetarian mole coloradito. Each dish was packed with robust flavors, and the freshness was so apparent. The atmosphere was lively, making it a great spot for a casual lunch with friends. The service was mostly good, although we felt a bit rushed at times. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment for anyone looking for authentic Oaxacan cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited La Cocina Oaxaqueña for a casual Saturday lunch. I ordered the carne asada tacos and was blown away by how flavorful they were! There was a nice char on the meat, and it was cooked just right. They even offer a good variety of salsas to accompany the chips and tacos. It was a little hectic, and we waited a bit longer for our drinks, but the overall experience was great. A solid option if you're in Seattle and craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just moved to the area and was hunting for authentic Mexican fare. La Cocina Oaxaqueña hands down provides some of the best I’ve had in Seattle! The al pastor tacos were phenomenal, oozing with flavor, and the salsa bar provided everything you could want to customize your meal. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, though the restaurant was quite busy during my visit, making the service feel a touch slower. I can't wait to come back on a quieter night to enjoy the ambiance more. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at La Cocina Oaxaqueña is undeniably flavorful! I loved their mole and the handmade tortillas, which were exceptional! It had such a comforting taste that took me back to my childhood meals. The only hiccup was, at one point, my server was a bit overwhelmed, and we had to wait a while before we could order dessert. Still, the dessert was well worth the wait—it was heavenly, and the portions were just right! I'm looking forward to going back and trying out more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
