" The food at MI Fondita Del Itsmo stands out as some of the best I've ever had. Everything tasted so fresh and authentic, and it brought me back to my childhood! The mole was out of this world, and the atmosphere felt like a cozy family gathering. However, I was slightly disappointed by the wait times during busy hours. Still, the food makes the wait worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to MI Fondita Del Itsmo a few times and each visit has been consistent in quality. The food feels genuine and fresh. Still, I cannot ignore that the place can get a bit crowded during peak hours. I highly recommend their Pozole if you’re craving something hearty. Overall, it’s a nice place to enjoy robust flavors of Oaxacan cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" MI Fondita Del Itsmo has made a lasting impression on me! The atmosphere is simple yet welcoming, which matches the authentic food they deliver. I particularly enjoyed their pozole and rich mole sauce. My only complaint is about the seating, which feels a bit cramped. However, the fresh ingredients more than make up for it. I’ll be back to enjoy more of their delicious offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I discovered MI Fondita Del Itsmo by accident and were thrilled with what we found. The handmade tortillas and the array of salsas make the food memorable. I ordered chili relleno, which was fantastic. The colors and flavors danced in my mouth—definitely a winner! One thing I would note is that the seating is quite tight, but the food easily overshadows that minor detail. This will become our favorite spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot for authentic Oaxacan meals! The place has a homey feel, which I love. The menu offers a nice variety but also maintains that authenticity.

" During my recent trip to MI Fondita Del Itsmo, I was blown away by the dedication to authenticity. From the savory tacos to the hearty mole, each dish brought joy!
