" I wanted to love La Minerva. The ambiance was great and the server was super friendly, but the food fell short of expectations. I ordered the Torta Ahogada, and while the sauce was flavorful, the torta itself was soggy and lacked substance. It was disappointing, considering the hype. I think I’ll give it one more try to see if it was just a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mixed feelings about La Minerva. On one hand, the ambiance is nice and the food was decent, but the service was painfully slow. I can appreciate that good food takes time, but waiting guessed 45 minutes for a simple order feels excessive. I might give it another shot in the future if I hear better reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by La Minerva! The carne en su jugo has the perfect balance of flavors and texture. Every bite felt like a hug! Service was a bit slow, but the food made up for it. I'll definitely bring friends to try this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit La Minerva, I'm thrilled with the vibrant flavors and the true authenticity of the dishes. I ordered the Carne en su Jugo on my last visit; it was comforting, rich, and paired well with fresh handmade tortillas. The only downside is that the service can lag when they are busy, so I recommend going during off-peak hours if you want a quick meal. Still, the food is worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Minerva has a charm that makes it memorable! Though there was a bit of a wait for our food, it was prepared fresh and delicious. The tacos were undeniably authentic, filled generously with meat, onions, and cilantro. Would definitely recommend this spot for anyone craving a Mexican feast! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Minerva is worthy of the praise it receives! I have been for lunch several times and have had positive experiences each time. I find their pozole to be some of the best I’ve had. The service is satisfactory, although they could use an extra set of hands during rush hours. Overall, my visits have matched the authentic nature of their food. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Minerva is a hidden gem for authentic Mexican cuisine! My family and I tried several dishes, including tacos and tortas. The freshness of the ingredients was apparent, and the flavors were simply delightful. It's rare to find a place with such attention to authenticity in every bite. The service was a bit slow, but it seems like they were under-staffed that night. We enjoyed the meal enough to overlook this and will certainly return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
