" La Altena has become our family's favorite restaurant. We love going there, especially during lunch when they offer great deals. The kids enjoy their Nachos huge plates, and I often opt for grilled chicken tacos. Everything is fresh and generously portioned. Occasionally, we've faced slower service, but the food always wins over our hearts and stomachs! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found La Altena to be charming but with a few issues. The decor was not very appealing, and the service was occasionally inattentive. The tacos were tasty, yet the flavors could have been bolder. Prices were fair for the quality, but I missed that extra kick of authentic Mexican spices. I suppose my expectations were a bit high, having been to so many great Mexican restaurants before. Still worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at La Altena Restaurant was nothing short of outstanding! The flavors were genuine, and every dish we ordered, from tacos to enchiladas, felt like a true representation of authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we entered. Highlights included the street tacos - so fresh and flavorful! I can't wait to come back for more. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Altena's authenticity is truly commendable. Having lived in Mexico for several years, I can say this restaurant does an excellent job of representing Mexican flavors. The homemade salsa and chips were a delightful start to our meal. The ceviche was fresh and tangy—the best I’ve had outside of Mexico! However, I would advise caution with the specials, as they can sometimes be hit or miss in terms of quality. Overall, a beautiful gem in Chattanooga。 " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic find! La Altena is a local treasure. We ordered multiple dishes and every single one was bursting with flavor. It felt great to enjoy authentic Mexican recipes. The margaritas were particularly outstanding, perfect balance of sweet and sour. The only downside was the wait for a table during the weekend rush. However, the food was definitely worth the wait. I’ll be returning very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Altena is high on my list of favorite Mexican restaurants. I have gone there multiple times and it's always a consistently good experience. The fish tacos are my go-to—they’re always flavorful, and the portions are generous. Perhaps the only downside is the wait time during busier hours, but I believe that speaks to how popular they are. Great food and atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about La Altena! This restaurant is a hidden gem with its amazing authentic Mexican dishes. The carne asada was cooked to perfection, with every bite delivering a burst of flavor. The portion sizes are adequate, and the service was quick even during a busy lunch hour. While the decor isn't extraordinary, the food more than makes up for it! I highly recommend this spot. " (*Curated Review*)
