" Had a pleasant lunch here, but unfortunately, not every menu item matches the high praise I’ve heard. Their tacos al pastor were good, but the carne asada lacked flavor. The service was polite, but it could improve in efficiency. A mixed experience for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to give Taqueria Chicatana a shot on a recent date night. While the food was good, the atmosphere felt too casual for a date. Service was acceptable, but we might try somewhere different next time. " (*Curated Review*)
