" I’ve tried various food trucks in NYC, but Chinelos has set a new standard for me! The birria tacos are incredible, with authentic flavors that transport you straight to Mexico. The service is usually quick, although it can occasionally be slower during peak times. I appreciate the effort in keeping the area clean and nice as well. Definitely recommend this place for anyone seeking quality tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a little torn about my experience here. The birria tacos had amazing flavors, definitely authentic. But I encountered a significant wait time and the staff seemed overwhelmed. After finally getting my food, I was blown away by the taste, but the service really left a sour note. Overall, I think I’ll give it another shot, but hoping for a smoother experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Chinelos Birria Tacos on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and it was a great choice! We ordered a variety of tacos including the birria and al pastor, and they were phenomenal. The staff was warm and efficient, despite the line being out the door. Eating while enjoying the view of the park made the experience all the more special. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chinelos Birria Tacos has become a staple for me. The tacos are amazing and always deliver authentic flavor. They make it worth the usually longer wait times. The atmosphere by the park provides a nice backdrop while you indulge, and the staff is generally polite, which is a plus. Just know that it can be busy so timing your visit is key! " (*Curated Review*)

" Outstanding tacos! The birria is among the best I’ve tasted. Each taco packed with flavor, and the consomme is so rich and savory. The atmosphere by the park allows for a great dining experience. Staff were friendly too. I’ve recommended this place to fellow taco lovers and look forward to returning. " (*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*)
