" This restaurant gives you a taste of true Mexican cuisine. The atmosphere is casual and feels like home. I tried the carne en su jugo and it was packed with great flavor. The wait to get a table during peak hours can be long, but the service matches the quality of the food. I often bring my family here whenever we are in the mood for some authentic comfort food. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes after hearing so many great things about this place, but I encountered a few issues. The food was quite good, but my service was lacking, and my order took a very long time to arrive. It’s disappointing given how promising the restaurant seems from its ambiance and initial reception. I might return, but I would suggest they improve their service efficiency first. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Casa de la Torta Ahogada has quickly become my favorite Mexican restaurant. The chilaquiles I ordered were full of flavor, and the freshness of the ingredients really stood out. I agree that they need to work on the pace of service, as I would have liked my drink to arrive a bit quicker. However, the staff was quite friendly, so I didn’t mind the wait too much. Overall, I would say this place has a ton of potential and I'm excited for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had lunch here, and I was absolutely blown away! I ordered the molcajete and it was bursting with flavor. Each item was wonderfully prepared, especially the freshly made tortillas. The only downfall I encountered was that the service could be a tad slow, which might be concerning if you're on a tight schedule. Regardless, the food is worth the wait. I will be returning soon to explore more dishes on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit La Casa de la Torta Ahogada, it feels like I’m stepping into my abuela’s kitchen. The authenticity of the flavors is unparalleled. Each dish I’ve tried has transported me back to my childhood! The service can sometimes be slow, but the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. I particularly love the breakfast options they serve during weekends. Simply put, if you’re craving authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited La Casa de la Torta Ahogada and I must say, it’s everything I hoped for and more! The tortas, especially the torta ahogada, were exquisite. The sauce added a lovely kick to the dish, balancing the flavors perfectly. The ambiance was warm and inviting, a perfect spot for a family meal. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. The service was prompt as well, which is a huge plus! Overall, this place has earned a new regular in me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Casa de la Torta Ahogada on a whim, and it was a pleasant surprise! The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, reminiscent of a family gathering. I ordered some tacos de papa, and they were delightful. The flavors were authentic, but the service was just average. I had to wait a bit longer than I’d liked for my order. Nonetheless, I am excited to return and try something else from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)
