" Gish Bac is a culinary treasure! The authentic Oaxacan food is simply delicious. I enjoyed their barbacoa and the mole was exceptionally good. What’s more, the portions were generous for the price. It's a little cash-only, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me. I will be coming back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Gish Bac after hearing raving reviews, but my experience was somewhat mixed. The mole was beautifully rich, but I found the service to be a little slow during lunch hours. They offer generous portions, but the wait times detracted from the overall enjoyment. Still, I’d give them another shot since the food itself was genuinely enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my meal here. The tlayuda was crunchily perfect and the barbacoa was tender and flavorful. Great portions for what you pay! The environment is casual and laid-back, making it a fantastic place for family and friends. While the service was prompt, the staff remained warm and friendly. I definitely plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't get enough of the authentic Oaxacan specialities they serve here! Every dish is packed with flavor, especially the mole—just divine! The barbacoa tacos were spacious and loaded, not to mention the beautiful presentation. However, on the day we visited, it was a bit too busy, leading to slower service than I'd hoped for. Still, it’s a fantastic spot, and I would love to take friends with me next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every bite at Gish Bac brought back fond memories! The mole was comforting, rich, and traditional. The staff was polite and made me feel right at home. Don’t skip the horchata! Prices are reasonable considering the quality. The restaurant has a small and rustic vibe, which I found charming. I will absolutely come back for more! " (*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*)
