" Antigua Mexican Grill is a gem! The ambiance reminds me of real Mexican restaurants and the food absolutely matched that! I had the chile relleno, and it was cooked to perfection. So often you go to places that don't get it right, but they nailed it here! The service was friendly, although a bit sporadic at times. Overall, definitely a place I would recommend for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many Mexican restaurants, I was a bit skeptical about Antigua but wow, they exceeded my expectations. The flautas were crispy and divine, and I could tell they used quality ingredients. Our server was friendly but seemed a little overwhelmed with the number of tables. The outdoor seating was nice, although it could use a little more ambiance. I can't wait to try other dishes on the menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Antigua one busy Friday night and was pleasantly surprised. The staff did a good job managing the chaos, and the food was delicious. I had the carnitas which were tender and flavorful. Only complaint was that it got pretty loud with the band playing, but it added to the festive feel. Overall, a great evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a delightful dinner at Antigua. The choices were plentiful and featured authentic dishes. We shared the fajita platter, and it was just as good as home-cooked meals. The service was decent, but the place was crowded, which made for occasional waits for refills. Overall, a pleasant evening and a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Antigua was underwhelming compared to the hype I'd heard from friends. The food was fine but not memorable. I tried their classic tacos, and while fresh, they didn’t have the pop of flavor that I expected. The ambiance was nice enough, but overall, I was left wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Antigua Mexican Grill last weekend and it was an unforgettable experience! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a vibrant ambiance. I ordered the Cochinita Pibil and it blew me away with its authenticity. The flavors were rich and savory, bringing me back to my travels in Mexico. Our server was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, and my margarita was one of the best I've had. We'll definitely return with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" We enjoyed our meal at Antigua but faced a few delays with the service. The food was flavorful though, and most importantly, felt traditionally made. The ambiance is lively and colorful, perfect for a casual dinner out. Though we encountered some hiccups, I’m sure we’ll give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)
