- Sopa de Fideos Aguado-nice red color, nice clean appearance, cut back on the spiciness a bit, add fresh chiles if wanting heat, good texture on the noodles
- Chiles en Nogada-Very attractive presentation, good colors, good textures, holds together well, balanced flavors, could use a bit better breading, uneven in places
- Salsa de Nogada-Awesome color, good consistency, great flavor
- Frijoles de Olla-tender and moist, good flavors
- Arroz con Leche-Great texture, good balance of flavor, not overly sweet, "Darn Great!"
- Jicama Salad-Very colorful, nice knife cuts, vinaigrette had good flavor, fresh and light, add lime juice or vinegar for a bit more zing
- Quail-good texture, a bit dry, could use a bit more caramelization
