" Trust me when I say Café de Olla serves some of the best authentic Oaxacan food in the Bay Area. Their mole is to die for and the tamales are always fresh. The service is reliably warm and personal, making each visit feel special. You’ll definitely leave satisfied and ready to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time visiting Café de Olla. I found the atmosphere cozy and inviting, but unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to my expectations. The tamale I ordered was overly salted and the flavor just didn’t match what I had experienced in Oaxaca. Service was friendly though. I might give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)
