" I should have listened to the hype surrounding Chunga's! The tacos are bursting with flavor, and the portion sizes are very generous for the price. I had the burrito smothered in the green sauce, and it was heavenly. The only downside was a bit of a wait for our food, but that just says how popular this place is. Our server was polite though, and that made a difference. Overall, a great spot for anyone who misses true Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chunga's has become my go-to spot for Mexican food. I was blown away by their carne asada tacos; they were tender and flavorful! Every bite was a reminder of meals I had during my travels to Mexico. The waitstaff was attentive and polite throughout our meal and even offered suggestions for menu items. I would give this place a perfect rating, but the cleanliness of the bathroom was a little off-putting. Nevertheless, I will return for those tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am not sure how this place has so many high ratings. The tacos I had were decent but lacked the explosiveness of flavors that I was seeking in authentic Mexican food. I also thought the service was a little slow, and we had to wait a bit longer for our food than expected. The ambience was a little dull for my taste, too. I think I just had an off experience, but I would still be willing to give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was craving Mexican food and must say Chunga's is a wonderful choice! The salsa has the perfect kick, and the guacamole was creamy and fresh. I loved their corn tortillas, too! However, I did feel that the seating was limited, and the parking area needs better signage; it took me a while to find a spot. Despite those couple of things, their Tacos Al Pastor will bring me back time and time again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos here taste amazing but the seating is quite limited, and the wait time can be longer during peak hours. I suggest getting a takeout order if you don’t want to wait around. The service was attentive once we were seated, but it did take a while to get in. Great flavors, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Big thumbs up for Chunga's! Dined there yesterday and loved every minute of it. The tacos were large and generously filled with meat and toppings, easily shareable. I highly recommend their chipotle salsa, which is a game changer. It's a cute little shop and perfect for a casual meal. I think they could improve on their drink selection, but that's minor in the grand scheme. Will definitely visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A not-so-hidden gem in the city! We read somewhere that Chunga's is known for their tacos, and they were spot on! My favorite is the Al Pastor, which is spicy yet sweet with the addition of pineapple. On a busy Saturday evening, it had a fun, bustling energy, and even though we waited for our food, it was worth every minute. If you're in the neighborhood, make sure to stop in for a bite!
