" I had high expectations after reading all the reviews but left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The flavors were good, but I feel the food could benefit from a little more seasoning. The pupusa's texture was a bit off for me, and the wait for the food was excessive. I might give this place another try since I've heard great things about their tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really great taco place! I tried their shrimp tacos and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and flavorful they were. The atmosphere is nice and suited for a casual meal. Service was friendly, but it took a bit longer than expected. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'll surely come back to try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Love the vibrant colors and decoration of this place! My experience at Karlita's was overall positive. The tacos were good, and the service was polite. Though it was busy, they managed to keep smiles on their faces. I really appreciated the attention to detail in the presentation of the food. Will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high hopes for Karlita's, my experience was quite lackluster. The pupusa I ordered was undercooked and lacked the flavor I was expecting. Despite the hype, it seemed more like a bland tortilla than a proper pupusa. However, the friendliness of the staff did brighten my experience a little. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but I don't think I'll be going back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Karlita's an amazing place to get tacos! The freshness of their ingredients stands out. On my last visit, I loved the carne asada. Everything tastes homemade, and it’s clear the chef takes pride in their work. The decor is simple but charming, making it feel more like home than a restaurant. I appreciate the friendly service as well, it adds to the overall experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delicious tacos with perfect seasoning! Every bite was bursting with authentic flavor. I also had a chance to try their pupusas, and I can confidently say they are among the best I’ve had. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, but I recommend avoiding peak dining hours if you’re in a hurry, as it can get crowded. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere of Karlita's is casual and laid back, with a local flavor. I went for lunch, and it was pretty busy. I ordered a few pupusas which were definitely worth the wait. The flavors are authentic and not adapted to suit mainstream tastes, which I loved. However, I must say the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed at times, but kept their smiles. Overall, a great place for authentic food. " (*Curated Review*)
