" I came here expecting a classic experience, but I was left underwhelmed. The food was mediocre at best. The atmosphere was nice, but good ambiance cannot replace good food. I don’t plan on coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a pleasure coming to La Luz del Día. The ambiance is festive, and the food is genuinely comforting. My friend and I shared several plates, and everything was fresh and delicious. I especially enjoyed the beans as they were seasoned perfectly. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Mexican food with a traditional feel, La Luz del Día is the place to be. The mariachis playing outside set the perfect mood. I highly recommend the tacos de carnitas. The flavors are exactly how they are supposed to be. The service was a bit slow, but it didn’t bother us much given the atmosphere and the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has seen better days. While the ambiance remains charming, the food lacks the quality it once had. The tamales were overly doughy and not flavorful. I hope they pay attention to their recipes again. Not sure I’ll return unless things change for the better. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is truly a staple of Olvera Street. The carnitas tacos are consistently delicious, and the service staff is always friendly. I appreciate that they still maintain some traditional recipes, and it's noticeable in the quality of the food. I will always recommend this place to anyone looking for real Mexican food. " (*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*)
