" The food's standards have changed since I last visited. I used to love their tamales, but this time, the masa was a bit dry. The beans tasted a bit bland compared to what I remembered. While the staff was consistently friendly and the service outstanding, I'd like to see them return to their previous standard, which made them stand out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted something authentic, and Armando’s delivered well! The mole was savory and rich, unlike many restaurants where the flavor is lacking. The atmosphere is quite lively which adds to the charm of the place. The staff was iffy as sometimes I had to flag them down for refills. Despite that, I'd say this is worth the visit if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to stop by for a quick lunch after work and was pleasantly surprised. The carne asada tacos were flavorful and paired perfectly with the spicy salsa they offered. The only downside was that I had to wait a little longer than expected, but the food made it worth it. I'm impressed with the quality for such a casual restaurant. I think I'll make this my lunch spot whenever I'm in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit and it was well worth it! The enchiladas were heavenly, and the mole was spot on. Everything was fresh! The only downside was the size of the restaurant; it felt a bit cramped when it was busy. Still, that didn’t overshadow the food experience. Definitely planning another visit soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! We found Armando's through a friend's recommendation, and it did not disappoint. The tacos al pastor had just the right amount of seasoning and were served with the freshest ingredients. The ambiance felt cozy, perfect for a family dinner. The staff was super friendly, making us feel right at home. We are already planning our return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I consider myself a foodie, and I have a special place in my heart for authentic Mexican food. Armando's did not disappoint! The handmade tortillas were a highlight, truly elevating the meal. Their beans were just like the ones I remember from my grandmother's kitchen. I can't recommend the carne asada enough, as it was perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was warm, and I especially enjoyed the local art displayed. I'll be returning soon, perhaps for their lively karaoke nights on Saturdays! " (*Curated Review*)

" After years of hearing about Armando's, I finally made my way there with my family. The interior was much cozier than I had anticipated. We ordered a variety of dishes: sopas, enchiladas, and a massive colossal burrito. While the sopas were outstanding, I found the enchiladas a bit lacking in depth of flavor. It's clear they use fresh ingredients, yet not everything was as flavorful as I had hoped. I do appreciate that they cater to large groups and the serving sizes were ample. Overall, it’s a spot worth checking out for its ambiance and family vibe! " (*Curated Review*)
