" I stopped by Cocina Mamá Cholita after hearing great things from friends and it did not disappoint! The introduction of complimentary chips with salsa was the perfect way to start. I ordered the quesabirria and it was a filling and tasty option! The service was pleasant overall, but I thought they could have been a bit more attentive during the busier times. Their desserts, particularly the flan, were to die for! I can't wait to try more from their menu on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
