" This is a go-to spot for authentic Mexican food! Really enjoyed the pozole; it was loaded with rich flavors. The ambiance is pleasant, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family. While the service was overall good, it could have been a bit quicker during their busy hours. However, I still highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Yesenia's and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the food is simply delicious. I had the shrimp tacos and they were fresh and perfectly seasoned. While the service could have been a bit quicker, the staff was kind and accommodating. I felt well taken care of and I can't wait to try more dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this place on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The service was quick and the ambiance was nice, but the food could have been better. The flavor was there, but some dishes felt a bit underwhelming. The menu is extensive, so I think I might try a different dish next time. Overall, decent food but not quite what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family here after I've heard so many good things. The food was fantastic, especially the seafood dishes. Cleanliness was top-notch, and the service staff was incredible! We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. My kids loved the shakes too! We’ll definitely be making this a regular spot for us. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! This restaurant has become an instant favorite for me. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is incredibly authentic—just like I remember from my visit to Mexico. The carnitas were tender and flavorful. The only downside was a bit of a wait for our food, but honestly, it was worth it. I can't wait to return with family and share this hidden gem with them!

" I've been searching for a true taste of Mexico and I finally found it! Yesenia's serves delicious food, from their menudo to the delectable chilaquiles. Each dish is crafted with care and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The large servings mean I always have leftovers to enjoy the next day. The welcoming environment makes every visit enjoyable. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so excited to try Yesenia's based on rave reviews but was left a little disappointed. The atmosphere is nice and welcoming, but I found the food to be just average. The flavors didn’t really stand out. The service was good, though. I think I’ll give it another shot in hopes of a different dish that might wow me! " (*Curated Review*)
