" I was a bit disappointed with my last visit. The food was good, but the service was painfully slow, and we waited a long time for our tacos. The server was friendly, though, which helped ease the frustration. Next time, I hope they can speed things up! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here recently and had a great time. Food was fresh with lovely flavors, and the atmosphere was lively. However, the tacos seemed smaller than what I expected for the price. I'd suggest ordering a couple to fill up. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my dinner out at La Carnita. The vibe was lively and the decor was very inviting. However, I found the tacos to be a bit on the small side for what I paid. I had the carne asada, and while it was delicious, I wish I had more to eat. Overall, a fun place for a quick bite and some drinks! " (*Curated Review*)
