" I've been a long-time patron of La Luz del Día, but I must say the recent visits have been a bit underwhelming. The portions seem smaller than I remember, and the ingredients appeared less fresh. The service, although friendly, felt rushed. I hope they return to their roots and improve the quality of their classic dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Luz del Día left me divided. On one hand, the ambiance is superb with its colorful decor and lively plaza. On the other hand, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. I ordered the tamales and found them to be a bit bland. Service was attentive, though. I appreciate the effort they put into creating a welcoming space. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across La Luz del Día while strolling through Olvera Street and decided to give it a try. The food is good, not extraordinary, but definitely satisfying. I had the carnitas tacos, which were decent, but I’ve had better elsewhere. The atmosphere felt very traditional, which I liked. I would come back if I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" The location is beautiful, and the food is solid. I enjoyed the carne asada burrito, though it could’ve used more salsa. The service was attentive, and I appreciated the kind staff. I would come back to try more items from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's a fun place in Olvera Street with a great vibe! The food was tasty, though my enchiladas were a bit dry. The handmade tortillas were a hit! The service was quick and the setup was casual. It's a good stop to enjoy some Mexican food without any fuss. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Luz del Día Restaurant is a delightful place where nostalgia meets flavor. The homemade tortillas remind me of my grandmother's cooking. Always a joy to visit. I recently had the chamorro and it was tender and full of taste. The atmosphere adds to the experience, incredibly friendly staff too. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to visit La Luz del Día while doing some sightseeing. The food was average, and while it wasn’t bad, I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. The highlight was definitely the homemade tortillas. A nice place for a casual lunch but not gourmet dining. " (*Curated Review*)
