" My recent visit to this restaurant was pretty disappointing. The food was not as authentic as I expected, and I felt the prices were quite high. The only thing I truly enjoyed was the hot chocolate, which was rich and delicious. It’s also worth noting the restaurant was quite busy, indicating they have a loyal following. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at La Morenita Oaxaqueña is like tasting home-cooked Oaxacan food. The mole is a standout dish, which I always recommend. The cozy ambiance adds to the experience, making it feel family-friendly. I've always had positive interactions with the staff, and I can't wait to return to explore more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorites here are the barbacoa tacos and the tlayuda! They are packed with flavor, and each bite takes me back to Oaxaca. The service is attentive, though sometimes the wait can be long if the restaurant is busy. Still, the food is worth the wait. A great place to dine with family or friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed! The food just didn't meet my expectations. I was looking forward to authentic Oaxacan cuisine, but it felt more like a standard Mexican restaurant. My horchata was overly sweet, and the tlayuda was soggy. The service could use some improvement as well. Won't be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food that truly reminded me of my grandmother's cooking! The tlayuda was huge and filled with all the right ingredients. The service was friendly but a touch slow, yet the flavors compensated for the wait. I can’t recommend their mole enough; it’s heavenly. Definitely coming back with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I think La Morenita Oaxaqueña is heading in the right direction! While there were some minor hiccups in service, the flavor of the food is unbeatable. The horchata was great as well! I highly recommend trying their assorted tacos. Will visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is fantastic; I’ve never tasted mole quite like this before! However, I noticed that the service can be hit-or-miss. Some of the staff were friendly, while others seemed overwhelmed. I’d recommend it for the food but perhaps find a less busy time to visit. " (*Curated Review*)
