" We stumbled upon Guelaguetza Oaxaca by chance and oh my, what a find! The restaurant is small but warm and inviting. We decided to share a variety of dishes and could not have made a better choice—the flavors were incredible. From the street corn to the tamales, everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly, making our experience pleasant but also efficient. I know we will definitely bring family and friends back to share this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I stepped into Guelaguetza Oaxaca, I felt the vibrant energy of authentic Mexican culture! The aesthetic is minimalist yet welcoming, and the cleanliness of the establishment is impressive. Now, onto the food—every dish I've tried has been a revelation! The Birria Tacos were overflowing with flavor and the homemade salsas are simply out of this world. Our server was prompt and genuinely kind, making sure we had everything we needed. I can't recommend this place enough; it’s my new favorite spot in Wilmington. Don't miss out on this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" During our visit to Guelaguetza Oaxaca, we tried the quesabirria tacos, and I have to say they were out of this world! The broth was rich and savory, and the tacos were generously filled. I couldn’t believe how fresh each ingredient tasted, from the corn tortillas to the guacamole. Our server was charming and made excellent recommendations. My only suggestion would be improving the seating area; it could be a bit more comfortable and spacious. Overall, an enjoyable experience that I would gladly repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Guelaguetza Oaxaca was welcoming and friendly! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles. We ordered a few dishes, including fish tacos and carne asada, and everything was delightful! The flavor definitely transported me back to Mexico, which was unbelievably satisfying. The downside was that the service was a bit slow, but it was understandable given the crowd. I can't complain too much because the food made up for it. I will definitely give this place another visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried many Mexican restaurants, but Guelaguetza Oaxaca stands out with its authentic approach to cuisine. The tacos were some of the best I’ve ever tasted in North Carolina—flavorful, fresh, and incredibly satisfying. One of the highlights of my visit was the delicious salsa served with the chips; it added incredible flavor to the meal. It was great to see a focus on ingredients that are genuine to the culture, and the service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely return for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a Mexican food enthusiast, I was ecstatic to find Guelaguetza Oaxaca! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with the inviting aromas of home-cooked meals. I ordered the chilaquiles with a side of fresh avocado and the portions were perfect—generous enough to satisfy but not overwhelming. Every bite was a burst of authentic flavors, paired with friendly service that made us feel like family. The ambiance is cozy, not too loud, allowing for a great dinner atmosphere. This restaurant is a must-try for anyone craving authentic Oaxacan cuisine. Mark my words; I’ll be back, perhaps several times! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Guelaguetza Oaxaca based on the rave reviews. However, my experience fell a bit short. While the atmosphere is nice and the staff friendly, I found the food to be on the bland side. The chips were fresh and the salsa had potential, but my main dish, the enchilada, was underwhelming and lacked seasoning. I’m all for authentic flavors, but I think they need to spice up some of their dishes. I'm not giving up on it yet, and I plan to return in hopes of a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)
