" My mother and I stopped by Alma for lunch. We were greeted graciously, and I was impressed by the menu's selection. My tamales were good, but the sauce lacked a bit of flavor. My mom loved her salad though! The place was busy, and the service was wonderful throughout. All in all, a nice experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Alma last night and was not impressed. The service was slow, and my meal, while acceptable, didn't have the depth of flavor I was hoping for. I ordered the tamales, and they were just average—not horrible, but certainly not remarkable. I might give it another try one day, but I have a feeling other places might be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been eager to try Alma, but my first visit was less than thrilling. The atmosphere was nice, but the food didn’t stand out. I expected more passion in the flavors based on what I had heard. It was average Mexican food at best. Our server seemed distracted and didn’t check on us enough. Maybe they were just having an off night. I’d consider giving them another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I did not have the best experience at Alma. While the ambiance was cozy, the food lacked the authenticity I was craving. I ordered the enchiladas, but they tasted more like a generic restaurant dish than something traditional. The service was decent, although our server seemed rushed and inattentive. I might give it another chance simply because many seem to love it, but for now, I'm disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Alma was pretty good overall. The ambiance was nice, especially on a lovely evening, and the outdoor seating added to the charm. The enchiladas were flavorful, but I felt they could be a bit spicier. Service was prompt, and I appreciate that the staff checked in regularly to make sure everything was to our liking. I would recommend it but advise that you ask for additional spices if you prefer a kick! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dining experience at Alma yesterday. The ambiance was inviting, and it had a comfortable atmosphere that was perfect for lunch with friends. I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos, and they were delightful! The service was fantastic; our waiter was attentive without being intrusive. I would highly recommend Alma to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in a pleasant setting. I can't wait to go back again for dinner soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Alma last weekend for brunch, and it was fantastic! The chilaquiles were phenomenal, and the flavors transported me right to Mexico. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I appreciate places that take the time to offer genuine Mexican cuisine. We left feeling full and happy. The only downside was the limited parking, but that won't stop me from coming back! " (*Curated Review*)
