" La Gran Chiquita does a fantastic job at serving authentic Mexican dishes. While I've had occasional slip-ups in service where I felt ignored, the food always compensates for it. The handmade tortillas are a highlight, and you can't beat their selection of salsas. I will keep coming back for the food; I just hope the service can get more consistent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to La Gran Chiquita for years, and it never disappoints! The chilaquiles are the best I've ever had—perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sauce. The staff is always friendly, and I love the cozy atmosphere. It's a great place for family gatherings or just to enjoy a quiet meal. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for La Gran Chiquita, but I was disappointed in my last visit. While the ambiance was nice, my meal was not at all what I expected. The enchiladas lacked flavor, and the cheese was not melted properly. I alerted the staff, but the response was lackluster. I hope they can improve because I wanted to love this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience overall! We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and everything was fantastic. The menudo was rich and flavorful, and the tacos de barbacoa were out of this world. The only downside was we had to wait a bit for our food, but it was worth it. The decoration is lively and fits the theme perfectly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the most authentic experience here—definitely typical of what you’d find in a bustling market in Mexico! Each bite I took brought back memories. The tamales were fantastic, and the nachos brought delight with each crunch. It's messy in a good way! Will absolutely visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I keep coming back for their fabulous ceviche and tacos! The flavors are so vibrant, and you can tell everything is exceptionally fresh. The servers are friendly and accommodating, making every visit a good one. I just can't say enough about this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become my go-to for Mexican food. The flavors are spot-on! The team is friendly, and I feel like family every time I visit. The only issue I've encountered is the noise level during peak times; it can get a bit overwhelming. However, the food more than makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)
