" Chivo Taqueria has become one of my go-to places in Knoxville! Every taco I’ve tried has been delicious, and I admire their fusion approach to traditional recipes. Great drinks too, highly recommend their margaritas! The staff is friendly and always aim to please, making it a wonderful dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had lunch at Chivo Taqueria, and it was fantastic! Tacos were creative and flavorful, but I found the portion size a tad small for the price. The service was quick, which I appreciated since I was on a tight lunch schedule. Atmosphere felt fun yet relaxed with great music playing. Would definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Average experience. The food was decent but lacked the authenticity that I was hoping for. The brisket burrito was filling but a bit bland compared to what I've had elsewhere. Service was prompt, but the ambiance was a bit too loud for a casual dinner. Not sure if I’d return. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Chivo Taqueria with friends, and I truly enjoyed it! The tacos were delightful, especially the spicy shrimp choice. It's a fun place to be, but it does get busy. Service was friendly, and we loved the party atmosphere! I bet dinner is even more exciting, so I plan to come back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great taco selection with a twist! I visited Chivo Taqueria with high expectations, and they didn’t disappoint. While some tacos felt more fusion than authentic, the quality of ingredients was really high. I loved the crispy shrimp taco! The staff was attentive, but we did wait a bit longer than I anticipated for our food. Still, it was worth it! I'll be recommending this place to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lively time at Chivo Taqueria—great drinks and an inviting vibe! The tacos were unique, but I was hoping for a bit more authenticity since the menu felt a tad modernized. The service was attentive and the ambiance cheerful. I hope to try their dinner menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a good experience at Chivo Taqueria. The food was decent and the ambiance was lively. However, I expected a little more authenticity regarding their recipes. The service was speedy, and we got our drinks right away, but the food took its time. I may consider returning for a casual night out, but it's not my top choice. " (*Curated Review*)
