" I found myself pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at Casa Oaxaca. I ordered the sampler platter and was absolutely delighted by the variety and taste! The authentic mole was a highlight, as well as the warm, inviting atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive, and I loved the live music in the background. Definitely coming back for another round soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience overall! The ambiance was inviting and the food was packed with rich Oaxacan flavors. The staff were super friendly and made us feel welcomed. I highly recommend trying the pozole, it was phenomenal! The only minor complaint is that the portions could be more generous. Regardless, everything was served beautifully and tasted divine! I’ll definitely return to explore more on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was lucky enough to discover Casa Oaxaca! The Oaxacan flavors are second to none, especially the mole that is rich and authentic. The meal was topped off with delicious hot chocolate paired with sweet bread—an amazing treat. The staff is super attentive, making it a pleasurable dining experience. It can get busy, but that only adds to the vibrant energy of the space! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" We walked in with high hopes based on rave reviews, but sadly, it didn’t live up to the expectations. The food was fine, yet I expected bolder flavors, especially from a place highlighting authenticity. Service was friendly, but somewhat slow. The place had a nice vibe, but it felt a bit chaotic. I would consider giving it another shot, but I need to lower my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Casa Oaxaca recently and it was an unforgettable experience! Their attention to detail in authentic Oaxacan dishes is impressive. The staff was very welcoming, and the live music added a lovely touch to our evening. I highly recommend trying their chilaquiles, which were by far the best I've had outside of Mexico. Portion sizes could be better, but the flavors more than compensate for it—totally worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Casa Oaxaca was okay. Service was friendly, but it took a while for someone to notice we were ready to order. The mole was delicious but somewhat simple compared to what I’ve had in other authentic Mexican restaurants. The atmosphere was nice and vibrant, but I expected more from the food based on the reviews I read. I might consider coming back for another chance, particularly for the drinks. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down the best place for authentic Mexican cuisine in the area. Every dish we've tried so far has been bursting with flavor! The service is always top-notch and friendly, making us feel welcome. I would suggest making reservations as it gets quite busy, but it's definitely worth the wait for a table. Don’t skip their tres leches cake for dessert! " (*Curated Review*)
