" I found the restaurant to be quite cute and inviting. I ordered their quesadilla, which was scrumptious! However, I noticed it could have used a little more filling. Although the wait was a bit long, the service was accommodating. I think I’ll be back for the sopes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem for sure! This place is small but mighty in flavor and authenticity! Each time I visit, I am greeted by friendly faces and treated like family. Their special green salsa is a must-try, and I always ask for extra. I had the asada tacos and vibrant flautas this time around - both were top-notch. If you're looking for a genuine Mexican meal at an amazing price, Vista Hermosa should be on your radar! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot stress how good the tacos are at Vista Hermosa! The carne asada was perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection. The handmade tortillas just complement the flavor, and the red salsa adds the right amount of heat. The service is always welcoming, and I love the ambiance, even though it can feel a bit cramped. It's definitely worth a visit if you want real Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Vista Hermosa came through for an unexpected dinner! I ordered a burrito to go, and it was absolutely packed with flavor. I was surprised by how fast the service was, and there's something lovely about the smell of fresh tortillas being made as you wait. It’s definitely a go-to for satisfying your cravings; what a fantastic find! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is about as authentic as it gets – their tacos de lengua are incredible! The meat is so tender and flavorful, and the handmade tortillas take it to another level. I will say the seating is quite limited, which can be a downside if you're going during peak hours, but the food is worth any wait. Plus, I find it cozy. Next time I might try one of the giant sopes that I keep hearing about! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to stop in after a long day, and this place did not disappoint! Had the chicken huarache, and it was heavenly. Big enough for two meals! I find it’s one of the more affordable Mexican spots around. The team working is attentive and fun, creating a lively atmosphere that made me feel welcome. Definitely my new favorite for casual Mexican dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a bad experience. The food was not as I expected: bland and unseasoned. I ordered tacos de pescado, and they were mushy with a weird consistency. I regret coming here since I had heard all the hype. The staff was nice, but it couldn't make up for the poor quality of the dish. I'm afraid I won't be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)
