" Incredible Mexican food! I highly recommend La Altena if you're in Chattanooga. Every time I visit, the service is spot on, and the food is delicious and authentic. They have a great variety of dishes, and the margaritas are fantastic too! Just be ready for potentially crowded evenings, but definitely worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I highly recommend La Altena for anyone craving authentic Mexican dishes! I ordered the beef tacos and was blown away by their flavor. The service was quick and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. I heard they have great margaritas, so I'll definitely be back for those next time too! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a visit to Chattanooga, I stumbled upon La Altena and I’m glad I did! I had the guacamole as an appetizer which was fresh and tasty. For the main dish, I ordered the enchiladas, which were pretty good but could use a little more seasoning. Despite that, the service was great, and I'd like to return to try their other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by La Altena after hearing a lot of good things. The atmosphere was friendly, and the staff greeted us with smiles. I decided to try the enchiladas and wasn't disappointed; they were cheesy, spicy, and delicious. Would come back just for that! Though there was a bit of a wait for food during busy hours, it was worth it. A solid choice for anyone who loves Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about La Altena! It's a favorite among my friends and family for a reason. The nachos were colossal, piled high with toppings, perfect for sharing. Each bite was packed with flavor. The ambiance is casual and fun, making it an ideal spot to relax. I will keep coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at La Altena and it was quite good! I loved the chips and salsa, which were made fresh. I had the steak burrito, and it was filling, but the flavor was a bit subdued for me. The staff was super friendly and made great recommendations. I left satisfied but felt there was a touch missing regarding the flavor of the main dish. Would definitely give it another shot.
