" Had an unfortunate experience. While the atmosphere and decor were charming, the food was disappointing, lacking the authenticity I was hoping for. The tamales had no depth of flavor and the service felt rushed. I probably won't return, but perhaps I just hit it on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an absolutely delightful time at Antigua! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. I tried the chile verde and it was just heavenly. It’s also nice that they have some vegetarian options on the menu. The environment is warmer and adds to the community feel, making dining here enjoyable. We’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Antigua was just what I needed! I ordered the Lasagna Azteca and it was delicious. A unique twist on Italian food blended with Mexican cuisine. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly! The onsite margarita selections were impressive too! Just a lovely evening overall. I can’t wait to introduce my friends to this restaurant. Only minor hiccup was our drinks took a while to arrive. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Antigua for the first time, and the experience was a mixed bag. Some dishes were stellar, like the tacos, while others were underwhelming at best. The guacamole tasted slightly off. Although the service was friendly, they seemed overwhelmed when we arrived. Still worth exploring again due to the good authentic offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Antigua and it was fantastic! The food tasted authentic, and you could tell they really put effort into every dish. I had the shrimp tacos, and they were perfectly cooked, though I did find the portion size a bit small for the price. The service was generally good but a little slow at times. The atmosphere was lively, especially with the mariachi band playing. I'll probably come back again! " (*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*)
