" I wanted to try the tlayuda, but unfortunately, they were out of them when I visited. However, the rest of the menu is quite generous. I settled for the mole and chilaquiles, both were decent, although I found it to be a bit on the milder side. Service was friendly but a bit slow as they were swamped. I appreciate the authentic effort and will give them another chance next time when they are better prepared. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Gish Bac was an experience! We started with their fresh chips and salsa (so good!), then I moved on to the enchiladas which were definitely filled with love. The only downside was my mole, which was a touch too sweet for my taste, but it’s still worth sampling. I appreciate their authentic approach! The staff was friendly, albeit a little rushed during peak hours. Still, I can't wait to return and try their tlayudas next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m really picky when it comes to Oaxacan food, being from the region myself, but Gish Bac truly represents the authentic flavors that I grew up with. The mole was perfectly balanced and the barbacoa was prepared with love. I was pleasantly surprised that they had such an authentic menu in a place like LA. Only downside was the parking situation—it can be tricky. Regardless, I’ll be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hesitant to visit due to the cash-only policy, but I decided to go anyway. Thankfully, the experience was worth it! The mole was fantastic and quite complex in flavor. However, the service was a bit slow and the restaurant was quite crowded. Despite that, I found the portions to be very satisfying. Next time, I might order ahead to avoid the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gish Bac is a fantastic spot for anyone seeking authentic Oaxacan flavors! Their barbacoa is rich and pairs well with their homemade tortillas. I came during peak hours, so it did take a bit longer to get seated. However, once we were served, the flavors made up for it. I can’t wait for my next visit to try their mole! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a must-visit if you love Oaxacan food! The flavors transport you back home. I enjoyed every bite of the mole, which was beautifully balanced. However, the service was a bit overwhelmed when we visited. I’ll definitely return for the barbacoa and try their tlayuda next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about this place from friends, I knew I needed to check it out. The food is well-prepared and embodies the flavors of Oaxaca. I found the mole rich and flavorful, but it was the barbacoa that truly stole the show. However, the slow service can be frustrating, especially during the busier hours. Don't be discouraged, the food is worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)
