" I've visited Culturas Hidalgo & Oaxaca a few times now, and every experience has been fantastic overall. The authenticity of the food is beyond reproach, especially the hand-made tortillas—they really make a difference. The ambiance is casual and inviting, perfect for a family meal. My only complaint would be that sometimes the service can take a little while, especially when it gets busy, but the quality of the food makes it worth the wait. It's definitely a restaurant I'll keep coming back to! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice family-owned restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Every dish I've tried has been authentic and made with fresh ingredients. The mole is particularly noteworthy! Service could be improved, as it was a bit slow during dinner rush, but the food was worth the wait. I would recommend coming here especially for family gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Culturas Hidalgo & Oaxaca recently, and it was an absolute delight! The moment we stepped in, the cheerful decor and inviting atmosphere wrapped us in warmth. The menu features authentic dishes with flavors that transport you to Mexico. I tried the mole and it was the best I've ever had—rich, flavorful, and true to its roots. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through various options. I am already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Used to frequent this place a lot, but my last visit was a bit disappointing. The food was still tasty, but I noticed prices have climbed a slight bit without a noticeable change in portion size. My camaron tacos, while delicious, could have used more shrimp. The service was average at best—felt like we were being ignored until our food was ready. However, I still appreciate their commitment to authenticity, and I might give them another try soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Mexican restaurants, but Culturas stands out for its authenticity. You can taste the culture in every bite, especially in their tortas. The vibrant decor made for a cheerful eating experience. They even have vegan options that are really enjoyable. Looking forward to coming here again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" We love exploring different cuisines, and Culturas Hidalgo & Oaxaca did not disappoint. The dishes bring a taste of Mexico right here in Salinas. I enjoyed the mixiote, and my partner had the chicken tinga that was both flavorful and tender. Service was friendly, but we faced a little wait before our food arrived. Still a delightful experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a treat! From the moment we walked into Culturas, the energy was vibrant and welcoming. The dishes not only looked great but tasted even better. I especially loved their enchiladas and barbacoa tacos. The service was friendly; however, we did take note of a couple of mix-ups with our order. Nonetheless, I highly recommend paying them a visit for an authentic Mexican food experience. " (*Curated Review*)
