" This place is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious and authentic Mexican food! The tortas are to die for, and the staff is so kind and attentive. Make sure to try the carnitas! They’re like a warm hug on a plate. I’ve been here several times, and I’ve never left disappointed. The portion sizes are also very fair for the price. Definitely recommend this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Chiva Tapatia did not meet my expectations as much as I hoped. I was drawn to try the torta ahogada but honestly found it lackluster. The atmosphere was fine, and the service was decent, but I'm looking for more oomph in flavors. I might give it another chance, but I hope to see improvements next time! " (*Curated Review*)

The service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere is laid-back, perfect for savoring each dish. I would return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was mostly excellent and captured the authentic essence of Guadalajara, there were a couple of dishes that fell flat for me. The menudo tasted like it could use a bit more seasoning. However, the torta ahogada was sensational! The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience more enjoyable. Overall, I had a good meal and would return with hopes of trying other menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to trying La Chiva Tapatia after hearing so many good things, but my experience was a mixed bag. The food tasted great, especially the torta ahogada, but the service was a bit slow on the day I visited. Additionally, I expected the portion sizes to be larger for the price. Still, the flavors were authentic and I might give it another shot on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" After enjoying a lovely meal at La Chiva Tapatia, I can definitely understand why it has such great reviews. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The torta ahogada was filled with succulent carnitas and the sauce was just right. The service here is outstanding—they treat you like family! Don't forget to sip on their delicious horchata while you eat; it perfectly complements the spicy dishes. I’ll be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I've enjoyed my meals at La Chiva Tapatia, I think there's room for improvement. The atmosphere is nice, and the torta ahogada is flavorful, but I expected a little more in terms of portion. I would recommend the place to friends but with the caution to double-check their specials to ensure a good deal. " (*Curated Review*)
