" My expectations were sky-high after hearing all the hype, and I am thrilled to say Casa Oaxaca delivered! The flavors were vibrant and truly authentic. I especially love the ambiance—it felt just like dining in Oaxaca! The service was prompt, and the staff were friendly. I couldn’t believe how quickly our food came out. Yes, the portions might be somewhat small, but the taste makes up for it. Absolutely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience with authentic flavors, Casa Oaxaca is your best bet. Every dish I've tried has been extraordinary! The service is friendly and quick, plus the atmosphere is vibrant—definitely a place to enjoy with friends. I loved their fish special wrapped in banana leaves. Only wish the portions were a bit larger, but that's all right! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely hidden gem! I’m amazed at how authentic the dishes tasted. The flavors reminded me of home, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The only downside was some of the dishes were slightly pricier than expected, and portions were a bit small, but the quality of the food makes up for it all! Excited to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Casa Oaxaca left me speechless! The atmosphere was incredibly cozy with live music that instantly transported me to Oaxaca. I ordered the tlayuda with tasajo and it was packed with flavors, truly a delightful experience! The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making our dining experience all the more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back for more, especially to try their mole which I’ve heard is outstanding. " (*Curated Review*)

" Casa Oaxaca is a little jewel! The food here bursts with authenticity, especially the enchiladas which taste just like my abuela used to make. I appreciated the quick service and the charming decor—the vibe is just right for a casual dinner or a night out. However, I wish the portion sizes were a bit more generous given the price point. Still, it's a go-to spot for a taste of Oaxaca, and I can't wait to go back. " (*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*)
