" Disappointing experience for a highly recommended restaurant. While their homemade tortillas were excellent, I found the chilaquiles bland and lacked the spice I expected. Service was slow, and our table felt cramped. I may give it another chance, hoping for a better experience on a quieter night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic authentic food! I had the mole enchiladas and they were divine. Each bite was fuller of flavor than the last. The tortillas were fresh and just perfect. Service was good, but our waiter was a bit rushed. I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving Oaxacan food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful dinner here with friends last weekend. The food is very authentic, especially their tlayudas which are a must-try. Service was good, but it did take a little longer than expected for our drinks to arrive. Overall, a lovely spot I'll definitely return to during my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried La Autentica Doñita Oaxaqueña last night. While the food was quite delicious, I did feel the service could use improvement. We waited quite a while for our food, and the server seemed overwhelmed. However, I loved the dishes - especially the molcajeteada! I would visit again, just maybe at a quieter time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! The mole chicken enchiladas were some of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is nicely decorated and adds to the overall experience. Will definitely make this a regular stop for Oaxacan cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant's service leaves something to be desired; our wait was long and our server wasn't very attentive. However, the food is definitely worth coming for. The enchiladas were packed with flavor, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The food was somewhat authentic, but lacked the depth of flavor I expect from true Oaxacan cuisine. The enchiladas were good, but not as memorable as I'd hoped. Service was decent, but nothing extraordinary. " (*Curated Review*)
