" We love this place! We come here for the amazing shrimp tacos and the friendly atmosphere. The salsa bar has some of the best options I’ve tasted, especially the roasted salsa. Portions are generous, but sometimes the wait for the food can be a little long. It’s usually packed, so be prepared! " (*Curated Review*)

" While my experience was mixed, the food was fresh and vibrant. The mole sauce on my chicken was rich and flavorful, but it took a while to receive my order. The restaurant was busy, but the staff did their best to accommodate given the situation. If you have the time to relax and enjoy the food, it’s worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit La Cienega, I leave satisfied! The enchiladas are the best I've ever had, and the way they prepare the guacamole at your table makes it an experience. My family and I love trying different items from the salsa bar; each one has its unique twist. Service is always friendly, and while the place can get crowded, the atmosphere makes it worth the wait. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Cienega provided a real treat! The tacos had generous portions, and the flavor was top-notch. The salsa bar is clearly a labor of love, with a variety of fresh options available. The only downside was the wait, as they were quite busy. I would recommend visiting during off-peak hours for a more relaxed experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance was charming, but it becomes cramped when it's crowded. The shrimp burrito I had was delicious but perhaps not enough shrimp for my liking. The service wasn’t as fast as intended, likely due to the crowd, but all in all, the food quality is what shines here. Can’t wait to go back to try their brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is fantastic! Every dish we ordered was fantastic, and we couldn't get over how huge the portions were. My only complaint would be that it was a bit noisy when we visited, but overall, the food quality overshadowed any minor inconveniences. Will be returning frequently! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Cienega has an inviting atmosphere! My family and I were greeted warmly upon arrival. The portions were generous, and everything felt homemade. The salsa varieties were fantastic! Only gripe would be the slow service during a peak time, but I’d recommend this place for its authentic Mexican foods. " (*Curated Review*)
