" The food here is good but the cleanliness needs some attention. When I visited, the tables felt sticky and it took a while to get noticed to order. The tacos were delicious, no doubt, especially with their homemade salsa, but I believe they can improve on the atmosphere if they want to attract more diners. I love the food, but the restaurant should consider a deep clean. " (*Curated Review*)

" Antojos Poblanos El Carmen has earned a new regular customer! The ambiance is inviting and the food is well prepared. I’m taken aback by the rich flavors and the homely feelings this place brings. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality on offer. I can honestly say I haven't had a bad meal here yet! " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors here are out of this world! I ordered the cemita de res, and it has quickly become my favorite dish. It's impossible to find such authentic food in many places. Truly, every bite takes you back to Puebla! The atmosphere is casual, suitable for a quick meal or takeout. I also appreciated the friendly smiles from the staff. Keep it going, El Carmen! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite intrigued by the reviews, but the reality fell short of my expectations. I tried a cheese enchilada, expecting oozing melted cheese, but was served a cold one. The restaurant has potential, given the range of dishes, but consistency is key. I hope they can work on this for future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled across this place during a food run and goodness, I was so grateful! The tacos were perfectly seasoned and portions generous. The design of the place feels welcoming and homey. Not fancy, but exactly what I needed after a long day. I will certainly be returning soon! Strongly recommend giving it a try. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has so much potential! The first time I visited was for lunch, and while the food was tasty, the staff was pretty overwhelmed. However, every transaction turned out fine. I really liked their variety—so many authentic dishes to choose from. I just hope they’ll iron out the kinks to provide a smoother experience on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this small Mexican restaurant, where I enjoyed a quiet meal. The café con leche was perfectly brewed, complementing my tacos perfectly. The cozy feel made me want to relax longer, but I had to dash back to work. I'm eager to return and try more of their unique dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
