" I discovered Chito's when searching for good Mexican food in the area, and it did not disappoint! The flavors were vibrant and rich, showcasing the authenticity of the dishes. I especially enjoyed their shrimp tacos, which were perfectly crispy. The only downside was the limited seating; it can get pretty crowded. Still, the beautiful presentation and taste of the dishes make it worth it. Definitely a treat for taco lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos at Chito's are simply divine! I ordered the shrimp and they were crispy and loaded with toppings. The only downside is that the service can be a bit slow during lunch hours, which can be frustrating if you're in a hurry. But the food definitely makes up for it! I highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, Chito's lives up to the hype. The adobada plate I ordered was flavorful and spicy, just like authentic Mexican food should be. The beans on the side were also rich and scrumptious. But the little space made it a tad awkward when crowded. Definitely among the top taco shops I’ve visited; I’ll return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I go to Chito's, I feel like I'm transported back to Mexico. The authenticity is undeniable—the flavors are rich and traditional. I recently had the fish tacos and they were crispy and flavorful. While the cash-only aspect and crowd can be cumbersome, the incredible food and friendly service more than make up for it. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished my first visit to Chito's and wow—I'm impressed! The portions are generous and the flavors are robust. I ordered the enchiladas and they were top-notch, with the added kick from their red sauce. The only downside was the wait time; I came during a busy hour, but I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. Worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Chito's was a rollercoaster! While I absolutely loved the flavor of their carne asada fries, I encountered a long wait for service. It was super busy when I went, and I felt the staff could use some extra hands. The food, however, was undeniably tasty and the prices were quite reasonable. Once I finally got my order, I was thrilled at how good it all tasted. I would recommend Chito's, but try to visit during off-peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a disappointment! I chose Chito's based on the great reviews but my experience was anything but stellar. My order was mixed up, and I ended up with a soggy burrito instead of my crispy tacos. On top of that, the cashier was rather dismissive. Despite the hype, I left feeling unsatisfied. I hope others have better luck than I did. " (*Curated Review*)
