" I had a rather disappointing experience last week at Mi Pequeno Mexico. The service felt disorganized, and I received my food late, even though it wasn't particularly busy. As for the meal, it was bland, and I didn't feel the authentic flavors I was hoping for. I don’t think I’ll be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I went for a dinner date last week and had an amazing time! The food was incredible and full of flavor. We sampled several dishes, from the grilled cactus to the horchata, both of which were top-notch. The only thing we found lacking was the drink selection since they don’t serve alcohol, but we didn’t mind since their fresh juices were tasty enough to make up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" To say that I was disappointed during my visit to Mi Pequeno Mexico is an understatement. I heard the hype about their authentic Mexican food but struggled to find elements of authenticity in the flavors. While the atmosphere was lively, the service was lackluster. I felt ignored at times, and when my food finally arrived, it lacked the seasoning I was looking for. It appears they may have changed chefs or recipes since I last came. It’s hard to justify returning when there are so many other options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mi Pequeno Mexico is a fantastic find for authentic Mexican food! My friends and I visited last weekend and tried a variety of dishes, including enchiladas and burritos. Most of the food was delightful, and the flavors truly reminded me of home. The only downside was that service was a little slow during peak hours, but the friendly staff made up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Mi Pequeno Mexico for years now, and each visit just gets better! Their tacos al pastor are unrivaled, bursting with flavor, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it perfect for family gatherings. I appreciate that the staff always greets me with a smile, and they’re quick to offer suggestions. Highly recommend the guacamole as well; it’s always fresh and delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything about Mi Pequeno Mexico was excellent! I tried the tamales for the first time, and I was blown away by how authentic they tasted! The ingredients seemed fresh, and the flavors were spot on. The staff were welcoming and made us feel at home. I will bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my experience at Mi Pequeno Mexico! I went with a group, and we ordered a variety of dishes. The mole poblano was heavenly, and the birria tacos were even better than I expected! The restaurant is small but cozy, which adds to its charm. Our server was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. It’s definitely a place I’ll be returning to often! " (*Curated Review*)
