" I had such high hopes based on the reviews, but sadly, my experience didn’t quite match. I ordered the chicken and steak tacos and found them to be a bit dry. The atmosphere outside was lovely, but it didn’t make up for the disappointment in the food. I wish they added more sauce options or sides to enhance the meals. I might give it another try for the birria tacos next time, as that seems to be their specialty. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited Chinelos twice and while I loved the birria tacos both times, the service has varied. One time it was excellent and timely, while the other time it was a bit chaotic. Regardless, the food quality is consistently there, and I highly recommend their tacos if you’re looking for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chinelos is a bit of a mixed bag for me. The birria tacos, when ordered fresh, are fantastic. But I experienced some inconsistency on my last visit - the tacos didn't taste as fresh and the service could have been better. I appreciate how they handle busy days, yet it can get overwhelming. Still, I believe their tacos are among the best in the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Chinelos is always a treat! I've had their birria tacos several times, and they never disappoint. The flavor profile is rich and true to authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff is always friendly, and they handle busy times well. The view of the park only adds to the experience, making it my favorite taco truck in the city. Don't miss out on their consomme! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Chinelos was quite positive! The birria tacos lived up to the hype and were packed with delicious flavors. The consomme was spot-on; it enhanced the whole experience. While the staff was friendly, I wish they could manage peak times better. Nonetheless, I’m looking forward to returning to try more items off their menu. Great find in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a must-try! The birria tacos are delicious, and I appreciate how authentic they taste. Combined with the park's ambiance, it makes for a delightful dining experience. There's a bit of a wait during lunch hours, but the tacos are worth it. Chinelos will be on my rotation for taco cravings in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve returned several times to Chinelos and each time has been a tasty experience. The birria is delicious and the setting by the park holds a charming vibe. However, I think the service can vary quite a bit, depending on how busy it gets. I’ll keep recommending it though, as the food definitely outweighs any slight service issues. " (*Curated Review*)
