" I had a delightful lunch at El Tenampa. The service was speedy, and the enchiladas came out hot and cheesy. They were delicious! The slightly off-putting aspect was the overall noise level within the restaurant. A quieter environment would have made it even more enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for some of the best authentic Mexican food in New England, look no further! The salsa was fresh and flavorful, and the carne asada was just incredible. The staff was friendly but might need a bit more training on attentiveness. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't find enough praise for El Tenampa! The flavors are genuine, and it truly feels like a homemade meal. The carnitas were slow-cooked perfection, and the taco pairs perfectly with fresh salsa. Despite a packed space, the staff was always attentive and friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let's be honest, the place is small, and the décor is nothing fancy. But the flavor of the food? Unmatched! I had the chile verde, and it was just right. The spices were perfectly balanced, and I felt right at home. However, I did notice some inconsistency with service; it was either spotty or attentive. Nevertheless, I’m definitely coming back for those flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Tenampa after some friends recommended it. The ambiance was pleasant, and the staff was welcoming. However, I found the food lacking in flavor. The tacos were good, but I've had better elsewhere. The portions were appropriate, but for the price, I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has the feel of a neighborhood favorite. The staff was friendly, and the food was truly authentic. The cochinita pibil was excellent and brought me back home. I was very pleased with how attentive they were. I will be coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled to find El Tenampa! I tried the horchata and the al pastor tacos, and I was blown away! It reminded me of the street tacos from the city of Oaxaca. Most reviews I read were spot on regarding its authenticity. Despite being a small joint, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting; I can definitely see myself becoming a regular customer.
