" I had high expectations after hearing so much about El Hidalguense, and they did not disappoint! The lamb barbacoa was to die for; it was tender and full of flavor, coupled with delightful handmade tortillas. Just a note, the space is a 'hole in the wall', which means it can get a little crowded—definitely part of its charm! If you can handle a little bustle, grab a seat and enjoy. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Hidalguense is a small piece of Mexico right in town! The barbacoa was tender and savory, paired perfectly with handmade tortillas. The atmosphere captures the essence of a traditional Mexican gathering with music and laughter, though it can get a bit loud. Don't forget to try their flan for dessert—it's amazing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited El Hidalguense hoping for a full dining experience but found the busy atmosphere challenging. I particularly enjoyed the lamb and flautas, but the noise made it difficult to converse. Service was friendly but not very attentive, which made the experience feel rushed. Overall, the food was worth it, but there can be improvements on management. " (*Curated Review*)
