" I adore the atmosphere at Mi Grullense! It feels authentic and warm, reminiscent of my trips to Mexico. I particularly enjoyed the ceviche platter, which had a variety of delectable tastes that were wonderfully balanced. It’s fresh and pairs perfectly with their micheladas, which are some of the best I've had. The only small drawback was that it was a bit busy, leading to a slow start with service. However, once things settled down, the staff was courteous and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I went to Mi Grullense after hearing rave reviews, and we were not disappointed! The ambiance is lively and filled with energy. I ordered their shrimp taco salad, and I must say, it was delightful! Tons of shrimp and fresh veggies. The portion was generous for the price, and we were able to share a pitcher of margaritas. The only downside was having to wait a bit longer than expected for our main courses, but it was worth it once we dug in. Definitely a place to return to. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Mi Grullense was okay. The food was tasty, although I felt that the portions were small for the price. I ordered tacos and a side of rice. The ambiance was nice and casual. Overall, I think I would give it another chance to see if my meal was all in all an off day for the kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Mi Grullense excited to try what everyone has been raving about, but I came out of it feeling rather lukewarm. The food was decent but lacked the wow factor I anticipated. I had the grilled shrimp, and they were good, but not extraordinary. The ambiance was pleasant but minimally engaging, which was fine. I may give it another shot in the future, just in case I hadn't hit them on a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Mi Grullense based on the positive buzz. The atmosphere was indeed lovely, and the decor had a nice Mexican flair. However, the food was just okay. I got the fish tacos, expecting something outstanding, but they fell flat, lacking seasoning and freshness I had imagined. Service was decent, but they were busy, which caused slight delays. Overall, I likely won't rush back. Perhaps someone else will have a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed with my visit to Mi Grullense. Although the vibes were great and the decor was charming, the service was unfortunately lacking that day. It took quite a while for our server to check on us, and when we did get our food, it wasn't as good as I had hoped. I had the pozole, and there were more bones than meat in my portion. It's hard to say if I would come back, but perhaps I just caught them on a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors at Mi Grullense truly transport you to Mexico! I adore their tacos and ceviche; both are packed with authentic flavors. It was such a pleasant surprise to find this restaurant with such rich tastes in Oakland! The service was polite but could be faster, especially during my visit when the restaurant was full of patrons. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for genuine Mexican eats!
