" Visiting Tenoch was an experience I'm looking forward to reliving soon! The tortas were seriously flavorful. I got the carnitas, and it was everything I imagined it would be and more. All ingredients tasted fresh, and the pickled jalapeños added an extra kick that I loved. The downside was a bit of a wait during the lunch rush, but honestly, the food came out hot and fresh. Such a good value! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, the torta from Tenoch may very well be the best sandwich I've ever had! Flavor packed, plenty of the right toppings, and the bread was just perfect! I truly appreciated the authenticity of the dish; you can tell the ingredients are fresh. Service was friendly, but sometimes the wait can be long because they get busy. Regardless, this is my new go-to for sandwiches! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want truly delicious Mexican food, look no further than Tenoch! I recently had their enchiladas and was blown away by how flavorful they were. The portion size was generous, and the prices are fair considering the quality of the ingredients. I also loved that I could customize my meal fully. Everyone on the staff is always smiling, which adds to the great atmosphere of this place. Trust me; you won’t regret dining here. It’s worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tenoch is my favorite place for Mexican in town! The breakfast burritos are the best—full of flavors, and the ingredients are always fresh. I make it a point to stop in at least once a week. The staff is always welcoming and recognizes regulars, which makes it feel more like home. Highly recommend dining here if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" For those who appreciate authentic Mexican cuisine, Tenoch is a must-visit! I’ve been multiple times and tried various dishes. The variety of tacos thrilled my taste buds, and I particularly enjoyed the fish taco—it's fresh and flavorful, just like the ones in Los Angeles. It can get busy inside, though, and I've noticed that the service times vary, but everyone works really hard and stays friendly, which is nice to see. A solid restaurant choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tenoch with high hopes based on the buzz but unfortunately came away disappointed. The ambiance felt more like a fast-food joint, and the quesadilla I ordered was a complete letdown—it looked more like a burrito than a traditional quesadilla. The flavors were lacking, and the greasiness was a turn-off. I tried to address my concerns with the staff, but they seemed disinterested. It's a shame because I was excited to try more authentic options. I don’t think I'll rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things, I decided to check out Tenoch, and let's just say I left disappointed. I tried their guarantee on the burritos, but it was way too greasy and the other items I ordered were just average. I wish they had more authentic vegetarian options because the few there were didn’t excite me at all. The staff acted like they didn’t care when I squealed over my less-than-stellar burrito experience. Definitely won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
