" Had lunch with a friend and was amazed by how good the food was! The asada tacos had a nice kick to them, with fantastic homemade tortillas. The service was prompt, making it a great lunch spot. I also loved the chilled atmosphere of the place. I would highly recommend stopping here if you’re nearby! " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the best places for authentic Mexican food! I'm in love with the enchiladas; they remind me of my grandmother’s cooking! The service during my visit was excellent as well, with staff who really care. It's a bit out of the way for me, but definitely worth the drive! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had read multiple reviews about Mendoza's extensive menu, and I was pleased they lived up to the hype! From appetizers to desserts, everything was mesmerizing. The horchata was refreshing, a perfect complement to our meals. Although the place was busy, the staff remained courteous. I’m definitely planning on returning to explore more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is all about authentic Michoacán flavors, and you can really tell they take pride in their cooking. My favorite was the huchepos, which were heavenly! Portions are hefty enough that I had leftovers to take home. However, I noticed that cleanliness could be improved; the tables were sticky when I arrived. A little more attention to detail in the ambiance would elevate the experience, but the food is undeniable! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fabulous time at Mendoza's! They definitely know how to serve comfort food. The enchiladas were great, but the must-try was the birria! It melted in my mouth. The service was friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home. I can't say enough about the portion sizes; each plate could feed two people! This will now be one of our regular spots for dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" An okay experience but left me wanting more. The tacos I ordered were tasty but not memorable. I expected more authentic flavors based on the name, but they leaned a bit towards mainstream. The service was a bit slow too. I wouldn't rule out a return, but I have mixed feelings about this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant came highly recommended, and it does not disappoint. The ambiance is casual, perfect for a family meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the menudo and found it to be incredibly authentic. The only downside was the wait time; it took a bit longer to receive our food, but it was worth it. By far, the best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico! " (*Curated Review*)
