" Visited this lovely restaurant for a casual Friday night dinner and was delighted! The staff welcomed us warmly, and the margaritas were out of this world. The carne asada was cooked to perfection, and I could taste the authenticity in every bite. The decor was charming, with traditional elements that make it feel inviting and unique. I’ve found my new favorite spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came in with high expectations based on friends' reviews. While the food was tasty—especially the tamales—the prices feel slightly inflated for what you get. Still, the atmosphere is fun and vibrant, making it a good place for groups looking to enjoy a meal together. I would return but with moderation. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place, but there's room for improvement. The food is generally good and feels authentic, but sometimes the execution can be inconsistent. For instance, on my last visit, the chilaquiles were on the cold side, and the portion seemed a bit smaller. On a better note, the live music adds a wonderful touch to the dining experience. It's the type of place that pulls you in for the atmosphere, even when the food isn't perfect. " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent restaurant! The Cathedral has not just good food but a fantastic array of tequila options as well! Their margaritas are deliciously fresh, and the tacos are to die for! Each bite reminds me of my mother's cooking back home in Mexico. Very happy with the service, which was attentive. I’ll definitely make this my new choice for Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about The Cathedral Restaurant, I finally decided to check it out. The decor inside gave off a lovely, authentic vibe that made me feel like I was in Mexico! I opted for the mole chicken, which I found to be rich and delicious. The waiting staff were incredibly nice and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Overall, a delightful dining experience that I would love to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love it! Every dish feels made with passion and authenticity. My favorite is the chicken mole. It’s creamy, rich and leaves you craving more! The service has always been excellent and the environment is just so cheerful. Be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours, but it’s totally worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love The Cathedral Restaurant! I've been here several times, and they never disappoint. My favorite has to be their tacos al pastor, which are bursting with flavor and freshness. The ambiance is perfect for a night out with friends or family. The staff is always friendly and quick to help. If you're looking for a traditional dining experience, don’t miss this place!
