" I’m continually impressed by Chicatana. I’ve dined here multiple times and have yet to find a dish that disappoints. Fantastic service, especially on busy nights, and totally authentic flavors make this a must-visit for Mexican food lovers. Just had the carne asada tacos again, and they were as stellar as before. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to many Mexican spots across the city, but Chicatana stands out. It’s not just about tacos; their guacamole is a delight too! The cocktails were refreshing; I loved the hibiscus margarita. The only downside was the noise level can get a bit busy at times, but overall, a fantastic spot! " (*Curated Review*)
