" If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and eat here. Their al pastor tacos are to die for! I wasn’t expecting such authentic flavors outside of Mexico. The food is incredibly fresh, you can tell it’s made from high-quality ingredients. The service was prompt, which was a bonus. Just note that if you prefer a luxurious atmosphere, this might not be the place for you, but for authentic food? It’s a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're searching for a taste of authentic Oaxacan cuisine, look no further! Hierve El Agua truly captures the essence of the region with its vibrant and fresh dishes. The fish tacos are a highlight—so flavorful and generously portioned. I noticed they have quite a variety, accommodating different preferences and dietary needs. Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow during my visit, which I felt could improve. Nevertheless, I will definitely return for the delectable food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yesterday, my friends and I decided to check out Hierve El Agua after hearing raving reviews, and it did not disappoint! The food was fresh, and it tasted like it came straight from the heart of Oaxaca. I tried their mole, and it was exquisitely rich without being overwhelming. We did have a bit of a wait for our food, but the servers were really friendly and kept us updated. Overall, a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Hierve El Agua was quite remarkable. From the moment I stepped in, the welcoming atmosphere pulled me in. I ordered enchiladas and the flavors were absolutely spot-on! Each bite transported me back to my trip to Oaxaca. They have a decent selection of drinks too. However, the wait time for food was a little longer than expected. Despite this, the staff was accommodating, making sure I was comfortable as I waited. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went there with friends for a quick bite and it didn’t let us down! The empanadas we had were bursting with deliciousness, and so fresh. The place has a casual feel, so it’s great for a laid-back meal. I’ll definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent but not as authentic as I expected. The atmosphere of the restaurant did feel a bit plain. The waitstaff could use some training to ensure better service. Still, it wasn't a horrible experience, just lacking the charm I was hoping for. Maybe I’ll give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Where do I start? The flavors were incredible! The enchiladas were perfectly spiced and came with a side of delightful refried beans. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The only downside I faced was the 20-minute wait for my meal, but it was worth every second. The staff was polite and attentive, ensuring I didn't mind the wait too much. Overall, a fantastic spot!
