" I visited Chiva Torta on a recommendation. The torta ahogada was as good as described, very authentic. However, the topping options could be improved. Overall, solid meal, but I've been to better. I'd rate the portion sizes as decent, but keep in mind it’s a casual setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chiva Torta is easily one of the best taco trucks in the area! I enjoyed my torta ahogada immensely—great flavors and freshness that transport you back to Jalisco. The only downside was the lack of seating. However, when the food is this good, I'm happy to take it to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Chiva Torta, I finally stopped by, and boy, was it worth it! The flavors in their tortas are truly authentic and remind me of home, but I did wish for a bit more seating space as it gets crowded. Also, the spicy salsa was no joke—be prepared for the heat!
