" My experience was pretty disappointing. The food lacked the authentic tastes I was craving. The service was decent, but the overall cleanliness was a big red flag for me. It has potential if they can improve the food quality and ambiance. I won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food at La Cocina de Petra! The tacos I tried were flavorful and served quickly. Every dish I saw served up looked appealing. However, I noticed it could be a bit messier than expected, which was off-putting. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed my meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to stop by based on some positive reviews. The food was decent, but I wouldn't say it's the most authentic I've tasted. However, the staff was friendly and service was quick. If they can make a few improvements in terms of ambiance and cleanliness, this could be quite a nice little spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" In my opinion, La Cocina de Petra is very much a family-style restaurant. Their chorizo and eggs breakfast is all homemade, and notably delicious. I found the toilet area could be a bit cleaner, but the food makes up for it. Staff is always amiable, and I expected nothing less. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical about dining here given some mixed reviews I read, but I decided to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did! I had the chicken mole, and it was unlike anything I've had elsewhere. Just rich in flavor and truly authentic. The staff was also very accommodating. However, I noticed a few cleanliness issues that were hard to ignore. I would suggest to take the food to go for a more pleasant experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently try La Cocina de Petra and keep coming back primarily for their carnitas – they're the best around! Each bite is filled with authenticity and taste that reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The service is always friendly, and there's a sense of community among the patrons. However, I have seen cleanliness issues that need to be addressed. Still, the heartwarming food makes it worthwhile for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at La Cocina de Petra was quite varied. While the food had great flavors, especially their enchiladas, I did find their cleanliness a bit concerning. The ambiance is charming in a very rustic way, but a little cleanliness would go a long way in enhancing the dining experience. The servers were lovely though, and they really do make an effort. If you’re in the area, I’d say give it a shot but maybe eat outside or get takeout! " (*Curated Review*)
