" Amazing flavors and impressive authenticity! La Chiva Loca serves some of the best Mexican food I have had outside of Mexico. I ordered a variety of items including their tortas and was thoroughly impressed. They did take some time to prepare, but that’s often the case when you're waiting for food that isn't pre-made. I think the price is fair, considering you are eating real, authentic Mexican food made with quality ingredients. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon La Chiva Loca while looking for lunch options in Denver and I must say, what an unexpected gem! The tacos I ordered were packed with flavor and authentic ingredients. However, the service was a bit slow, as it took longer than expected to get my order, which was disappointing. Despite this, the flavors of the food compensated for the wait. The ambiance is casual and laid-back, making it a nice place to relax with friends. Overall, I was satisfied and would give them another chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had never been to La Chiva Loca until last week and wasn't sure what to expect. I'm happy to report that I was thoroughly satisfied! The food had a genuine taste reminiscent of my travels in Mexico. I enjoyed the tortas but felt the prices were a bit on the higher side, especially for the portion sizes. Though the service was friendly, it was a bit slow, which may discourage some from returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Chiva Loca was a delightful surprise! The tortas ahogadas had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, and the authenticity was evident in each bite. I generally avoid dining out too frequently due to rising prices, but for the quality of food you get here, I feel it is most certainly worth it. Although it can be a bit slower during busy times, the friendly service and delicious meals make this place worth returning to. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally made it to La Chiva Loca after hearing so much about it, and it did not disappoint! The food was outstanding; every bite tasted fresh and authentic. The only drawback was the service - it was a bit slow on a busy Saturday, so just be ready for a wait. Once the food arrived, I truly appreciated their attention to detail in the dishes. Definitely putting this place on my list for future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely enjoyed my time at La Chiva Loca! I had an amazing plate of tacos and enjoyed the usual friendly service. They definitely captured the authentic Mexican taste. However, I wish I had enough time to explore more of their menu; next time, I will be sure to take more friends and make a day out of it. Prices were fine considering the quality, worth every cent! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Chiva Loca is a hidden treasure! As someone who has missed the authentic food of Guadalajara, this restaurant is now a regular spot for me. Their tortas ahogadas exploded with flavor, and I could taste the love put into each dish. It’s a small establishment which gives it a homey vibe; however, be prepared for potentially longer wait times as everything is made fresh. I have also tried their tacos dorados, and they are equally delectable. Price-wise, it sits on the higher end, but honestly, the experience and flavors make it worth every penny.
