" My family and I visited Chiva Torta for the first time last week and we were blown away! The food tasted just like the ones we used to have back in Guadalajara. I especially loved the way they prepare their tortas ahogadas with soft bread and tasty meat. The atmosphere, though casual, made for a nice family dinner. The only downside was the lack of seating available, but that didn’t deter us from the amazing meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chiva Torta is a good choice if you want a taste of authentic Mexican food. The torta ahogada could use a bit more meat, but the flavors overall are worth the visit. I had a lovely experience aside from the slight wait time, which may be an issue during peak hours. I'll gladly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard rave reviews about Chiva Torta so I decided to give it a try. The tortas ahogadas were indeed delicious! What I found most impressive was the freshness of the ingredients. However, I was disappointed with the service; the staff seemed overwhelmed on the day of my visit. Overall, I would recommend it based on the food, but I advise visiting during off-peak hours for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m always on the lookout for authentic tortas ahogadas, and Chiva Torta's offerings did not disappoint! The bread was perfectly soaked in the delicious broth, and the fillings were generous. Yet, a downside was that the service was a bit rushed. Regardless, I’ll definitely return for the authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I arrived at Chiva Torta, the lines were a testament to its popularity! The tortas ahogadas were indeed authentic, but I found the carne a tad on the salty side. I appreciate their spicy salsa, but asking for mild is highly advisable if you’re sensitive to heat. Overall, a great place for food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food but inconsistent service. I ordered the torta ahogada and loved it, but my friend had a longer wait for hers. If you’re in the mood for spicy and authentic Mexican food that feels like home-cooked, head to Chiva Torta! " (*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!
