" I recently had a terrible experience here despite the food being decent. The service was extremely slow, and our server seemed overwhelmed. We had to flag down someone just to get chips and salsa after waiting twenty minutes for our drinks. I really wanted to like this restaurant based on the reviews, but unless they improve their service, I can’t see myself returning. Food’s good, but service can ruin an experience in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience overall. The atmosphere is very inviting, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to serve us. The highlight was definitely the mole sauce on the chicken; it was simply exquisite! I did find the portion sizes a bit smaller than expected, which somewhat surprised me given the price. However, I still left feeling satisfied and would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try La Oaxaquena after hearing so much buzz about it, but my experience turned out to be kind of a letdown. While I can appreciate the authentic touches in the food, like the handmade tortillas and the variety of salsas, the service was lacking. We waited a long time to order and then even longer for our food to arrive. The ambiance was nice, but I wished for more warmth from the staff. Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I left disappointed this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed bag of experiences during my visit. The food was decent; I had some tasty tacos, but the service left a lot to be desired. Our server was pleasant but seemed untrained, forgetting to check on us multiple times. I was really looking forward to an authentic meal having heard good things, and the ambiance does have a charming touch, but the inconsistency in service detracts from the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I absolutely love this place! The food is just out of this world! I've traveled throughout Mexico, and the tacos at La Oaxaquena remind me so much of street food from Oaxaca. The flavors are rich and authentic, and the homemade corn tortillas are a game changer. The service was friendly too, despite being a little slow during peak hours. Plus, the vibrant decor really enhanced the experience. I can't wait to come back and try their birria again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a good time during my visit to La Oaxaquena. The place has a real charm to it. The food, particularly the tacos, was quite satisfying and authentic; however, the waitstaff seemed quite overwhelmed. Despite this, I appreciated their effort and kindness. I'd definitely visit again for the food alone, but here's hoping the service can improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fabulous lunch here! The servings were generous, and the flavors were sublime. I started with the guacamole, which was fresh and vibrant. The enchiladas that followed were filled with rich, authentic flavors of Oaxaca. Service was friendly, and though there was a short wait during busy hours, it was worthwhile. I definitely plan to return soon to try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
