" The experience at Guelaguetza was one of a kind! The blend of flavors in the mole dishes was surprisingly rich. The atmosphere had a fun buzz with cheerful patrons enjoying their meals. I do recommend calling ahead because it can get busy. But overall, a place you must try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn’t know much about Oaxacan food before visiting Guelaguetza, but I was blown away! The variety of moles was delicious, and my tlayuda was huge! The décor was vibrant, and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. It’s a great spot to expand your food horizons. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Guelaguetza for dinner last week and it was wonderful! The staff was attentive, and our food was served promptly. I particularly loved the tlayuda with chapulines - a dish I never tried before, and now it's one of my favorites. The vibrant decor and lively music gave it a unique flair. However, I did wish for a bigger portion of the rice I ordered. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hidden gem alert! I wasn't sure what to expect, but the moment I got inside, I felt the lively energy from the music and the warm decor. We shared a variety of small plates, and each one was delightful. I recommend the queso fundido as a starter. For dessert, we had the chocoflan, which was a nice finish. Service was slightly slow but the ambiance and food made it worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Before coming here, I had no clue about Oaxacan cuisine and was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance was warm and inviting. Our server explained the different mole types perfectly, which helped me make a decision. The sweet mole was a hit among my friends but not my favorite. Can't wait to explore more dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my first time eating here, and it definitely lived up to expectations! The mole is the best I've had and the atmosphere is so lively—I simply loved it! However, the only downside was our table was a bit sticky. Nonetheless, the flavors and fun made up for it, and I’ll return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a Saturday evening and couldn't believe the ambiance! The live music really set the tone for a fun night out. We enjoyed sharing the mole sampler and it was delightful. Each mole had its distinct flavors, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the chapulines were! Will definitely be adding this restaurant to my favorites list for future visits. " (*Curated Review*)
