" This place has been recommended by several friends, and I finally decided to visit. I enjoyed the experience overall but was curious about the authenticity. The tacos were tasty but lacked that depth of flavor that comes with authentic cooking. The atmosphere was vibrant but also felt chaotic at times. I’ll give it another chance in hopes of a stronger flavor next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to dine at El Oaxaqueño last weekend, and I must say, the food was simply awesome! The tacos were packed with flavor, and you could tell they were made authentically. I also tried their tres leches cake, and it was one of the best I've had in New Jersey. The atmosphere was lively, and the staff was friendly, making my dining experience truly enjoyable. I will definitely come back for more soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic experience at El Oaxaqueño! The atmosphere was vibrant with cheerful decorations and friendly staff. I ordered the enchiladas, and they were to die for, dripping with authentic Mexican flavor. The portion size was generous, and I appreciated the fresh ingredients used. It was a cozy place where you can also enjoy a wide variety of baked goods afterward. This is definitely my new favorite lunch destination! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had their enchiladas and they were a true representation of what authentic Mexican cuisine should be! The sauces were tangy, the garlic was just right, and the flavor was explosive. The bakery items like the sweet bread have always been a success in our family, it’s like a little piece of Mexico in New Jersey. The only downside was that the place was packed, and we had to wait for our table, but the staff was helpful and friendly, ensuring we felt looked after during our wait. I’d say it’s worth the time! Definitely returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was simply amazing! Authentic flavors at really fair prices. It really brings me back to my grandmother’s cooking. I ordered a variety of tacos to share with my friends, and each one had its own unique taste. The salsa was spicy yet fresh, enhancing the entire experience. The only downside was the staff was a bit overwhelmed when we visited on a Sunday afternoon, which meant delayed service. But still, the food alone makes me want to return again! Highly recommend the tres leches as well! Just delicious. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Oaxaqueño last week and was pleasantly surprised! Their response to my food allergy was commendable, and they accommodated my needs very well. I had a grilled fish dish that was fresh and flavorful, while my friends enjoyed their enchiladas. The ambiance was casual, which I appreciated as a great spot for a group brunch. I’ll happily recommend it to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend brought us to El Oaxaqueño for a family gathering, and it was delightful! The food was fresh, and the dishes came out in great time. I especially loved the enchiladas, which my family couldn't stop raving about. The service was also great; the staff seemed genuinely interested in our experience. Overall, very satisfied with our visit, and we will return. " (*Curated Review*)
