" I visited Alma Latina a few weeks ago and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere tremendously! It's a great spot if you’re looking for some lively entertainment with your meal. However, I found my tacos al pastor to be a bit greasy and lacking the authentic seasoning I expected. Portions were decent, but I’ve had better Mexican food elsewhere. Overall, I would rate my experience as average, with hopes that they improve on their food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Alma Latina on a Sunday evening and ended up being pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement; a drag show was taking place, which was thoroughly entertaining. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the fajitas and enchiladas. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was very flavorful. Our server was attentive, and we managed to enjoy a lovely night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Alma Latina can be hit or miss. I’ve been there several times; the food is usually very good, especially the tamales. However, the staff seem overwhelmed, and I have faced long wait times for food. Once, the waiter even forgot our dessert order! But if you’re in the mood for a fun evening with some great entertainment, you can overlook those mishaps. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high expectations for Alma Latina after hearing such rave reviews. However, the lunch I had was underwhelming - the enchiladas were bland, and the rice was overcooked. On top of that, our waiter seemed distracted, as though he didn’t want to be there. I had better luck during past visits, hoping it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Alma Latina based on some friends' recommendations, and I must say, I was not disappointed! The ambience is vibrant, filled with laughter and music from a live drag show. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, which were perfectly cheesy and packed with flavor. The staff was polite, yet it did take longer than expected for our order to arrive. I would definitely return for both the food and the entertainment! " (*Curated Review*)

" I would give Alma Latina a mixed review. The service was very inconsistent; we waited quite a long time for our meal, and it was served cold. However, the flavors were good once it arrived, but I wish it had been hotter. You could tell the food was prepared with care, which I appreciated. It just needs better timing during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our first visit to Alma Latina was highly memorable because of the atmosphere! It felt like a carnival with the shows. The food however fell short of my expectations, with the flavors only somewhat hitting the mark. I had expected bolder spices typical of Mexican cuisine. I'll return for the vibe but with one eye on the food. " (*Curated Review*)
