" After hearing so much about Casa Chimayo, I finally decided to check it out. The food was very tasty, especially the tabla with the table-side guacamole—a fun experience! However, I expected a bit more heat in the dishes given my love for spicy food. The service was attentive, and they explained the history behind each dish, which added a personal touch. I enjoyed my time there and plan on coming back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
