" Had an underwhelming experience overall. The food was overpriced for what was provided. The chips were stale, and I wasn’t blown away by the entrees. The server was polite, but it didn’t make up for the disappointment in the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an okay experience at La Puerta. The food was decent, but it lacked the authentic kick I expected from a Mexican restaurant. While the service was friendly, there was a bit of a wait for our food. The ambiance was nice, and it has a good vibe, but I may explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)
