" What a delightful find! I visited out of curiosity after hearing great things from colleagues. The Tacos de Lengua are hands down the best I've had. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The ambiance is vibrant and welcoming. I highly recommend trying their margaritas as well; they are perfectly balanced! Just a minor note, service got a little slow at peak hours, but it’s worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I went here hoping for some authentic tacos, and I was not disappointed! The tacos al pastor had the right amount of spice, and the pineapple bits on top were a delightful touch. The ambiance is cute, and the service was attentive. I’ll definitely be back to try the other options on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The hype surrounding Big Chile is real. I tried the tacos and they were flavorful and well-prepared. I would say the fish taco was my favorite as it had a nice crunch to it. The ambiance was lively but comfortable. I hope they work on their service speed as it took a bit of time for our food to arrive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first dining experience here last week, and I have to say I found the food to be very satisfying! The tacos I tried were fresh and had just the right kick of spice. The only downside was that the service was a bit slower than I expected during dinner service. I will give this place another shot because the food was so good! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am absolutely in love with this place! I had the shrimp tacos and they were perfectly seasoned. Plus, their guacamole is simply the best I've ever had! The restaurant has a fun vibe and is always busy, but it adds to the excitement. Service is usually fast, although it does slow down when they are packed. Still, I wouldn’t change a thing about this place. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Big Chile. The tacos were decent, but they fell short on the fish option I tried. I was expecting something more flavorful. On the bright side, the service was friendly, and the guacamole was fantastic! I think I might need to give it another shot with different menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" This has become my go-to spot for authentic tacos! The birria tacos are to die for and the margaritas are well-crafted. The staff was attentive, and I loved the cozy setup. Perfect for a Friday night out. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)
