" The food at Somos Oaxaca is authentic and tasty but I had a minor issue with the service. It took a bit longer than expected for our meal to arrive. That said, the tlayuda was worth the wait. The flavors were on point, and the environment was lively. I love how they incorporated local traditions, and their decor was charming. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delicious find! The salsa verde served with our taco platter was fresh and had a perfect kick. All the flavors felt spot on for what I'd expect from Oaxacan cuisine. The ambiance was alive and buzzing, making it a perfect spot for dinner with friends. My only critique would be that the seating is a bit cramped. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic! Can't wait to go back again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Somos Oaxaca was largely positive. The service was prompt and polite, but the food stole the show. We tried the mole and some street tacos, which were delicious. I truly appreciated how the flavors reminded me of authentic Mexican cooking. The only thing I would suggest is for them to work on their dessert menu; it felt a bit lacking compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, a great place to visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the real deal! The food is delicious, with distinct Oaxacan flavors. We had the enchiladas oaxaqueñas and tlayudas—they were both fabulous. The ambiance is energetic and fun, and every visit feels special. The service was stellar, and I'll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved everything about my visit! The food was incredible, especially the birria and their tasty tlayudas! The drinks complemented the meal well, especially the fruit-based margaritas. I appreciated the ambiance, which had a lot of character. Would suggest to anyone looking for an authentic taste of Oaxaca! " (*Curated Review*)

" Truly delightful! The food brought me right back to Oaxaca with its authenticity. Everything from the tlayuda to the mole had great depth of flavor. The service was warm, but just a touch slow during peak dinner. That said, the experience was wonderful overall. It’s a great spot for some delicious and authentic food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious tacos al pastor and the service was fantastic! It was busy when we arrived but the staff handled everything efficiently. The ambiance was vibrant, but it got a little noisy as the night went on. I loved the food, especially the salsa and grilled meat flavors. Can't wait to return to enjoy more dishes!
