" Had brunch here inspired by a recommendation from a friend. The authentic flavors were apparent in each dish. The service was super friendly; however, my order took a bit longer than expected. The live music enhanced the atmosphere beautifully! Highly recommend the tamales! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a wonderful dinner here last night! The cabrito was juicy and full of flavor, and I appreciate that they offer complementary flautas before the meal. However, the service was a bit slow at times as the restaurant was quite busy. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the chance to check this place out recently and was thoroughly impressed. The authenticity here is unmatched. I ordered a plate of quesabirria, and it did not disappoint! The meat was well-seasoned, and the rich flavors were perfectly executed. One downside was that the environment felt slightly cramped during peak hours, which made it tough to enjoy dinner leisurely. Nonetheless, I would absolutely recommend this spot for anyone seeking genuine Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon El Hidalguense and I'm glad I did! Had the cabrito and my partner enjoyed the barbacoa; both were delicious! The enchiladas were nice but could use a bit more sauce. While I appreciated the friendly service, I felt like they could improve on attentiveness. Overall, solid experience, would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Hidalguense has become my go-to spot for authentic Mexican dishes. The food here is always packed with flavor. I highly recommend trying their lamb barbacoa and the homemade tortillas—they're unbeatable! Just beware of peak hours as it gets a bit crowded. It's worth it though! " (*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*)
