" I'm a huge fan of all types of Mexican food and was recommended to try Tenoch. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience, as the portion size was delightful and a great value for the prices offered. The chorizo tacos were tasty, but I felt the overall flavor could be amped up just a notch. The service was friendly and fast, although I did get my order wrong initially. Overall, a solid spot to grab a quick bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tenoch is a delightful addition to the Melrose dining scene! The authenticity of their dishes is palpable, with fresh ingredients and traditional flavors. I loved the avocado tostada as it had a great crunch and fresh taste. My only takeaway was that it could use a bit more seasoning. The environment is upbeat; the only drawback was that the place was packed during the lunch hour. Still, I’d recommend it to anyone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tenoch is definitely a favorite of mine! The ambiance is lovely, and the service is consistently good. I ordered the torta with carnitas and it was a flavor explosion. They really know how to execute authentic Mexican food! It’s a great spot for a quick bite or for a more relaxed meal with friends. Highly recommend their tortas and tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a decent meal at Tenoch, but I expected more based on the buzz. The tacos were tasty, but the portions felt smaller than I anticipated, especially compared to other taco spots in the area. Service was friendly, but it didn’t quite make up for the overall experience. I think I will try their tortas next time since those seem to be very popular according to the reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Tenoch, I finally went and tried their fish tacos. They were fresh, but the ratio of toppings to fish was off. I mean, it was practically overwhelming with the salsa! The atmosphere was lively, and they had fun decor, but it felt a bit cramped when they were busy. Overall, a solid restaurant but not quite the standout I was hoping for. " (*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*)
