Greg FischerJanuary 3, 2015Try to come at a less crowded time. Everything is good. Especially the breakfast buns, brunch and bloody Maria's
Since I've left Cali, this has been my go to spot for on point mexican food! Tacos are hella good!
Best. Food. Ever. And the drinks are great too! It's almost always packed so make sure you aren't starving when you get there.
Hill EstateJune 11, 2015Sangrias are wonderful, and everything I have ever ordered from here is amazing.
The black bean soup is amazingly good. Quesadillas come with a yummy smoky sauce. And the Isla Bonita is a great cocktail.
- EchoDAFebruary 15, 2012Looking for Tacos? This tiny restauran is great, and they prepare an excellent sangria! Be prepared to stay in line, though....
Chips are large and circular. Put them on your plate and poke em apart with your finger
NicoleJuly 25, 2015Maybe I went on an off night? Crowded/close tables, friendly staff, short wait. Margarita clásica tasted watered down. Appetizer & entree were drowned in oil/sauce. Sides & dessert were good, though.
Kam PerezOctober 7, 2018The tortilla soup is basically a liquefied enchilada verde. Trust me, that is a good thing.
Rick BrunerApril 23, 2013Great lunch specials. The Pollo al Horno is a great bargain: half s grilled chicken with rice & beans for $6.
Mandy WellsJune 4, 2013Oh, the michaelada tastes like rock, roll and bad decision-making skills. So delicious.
I recently went to Jean Georges. I liked this better. And I liked Jean Georges a whole lot.
Avery GreenDecember 9, 2014Make sure the waitress tell you that things like lemon slices & salsa are extra. Love the place but the server we had wasn't on her A game.
DDogJuly 8, 2012Everything else on the brunch menu is great too, but the bacon is just the way I like it.
John AbrahamsJanuary 19, 2014Get here early for brunch: place fills up quickly, even though it seats about 50.
Even better than the old location! Guac, Mexican corn on the cob, and chorizo-potato tacos are all AMAZING.
Victoria LambinoJanuary 21, 2014Happy hour at Chavela's is amazing $2 tacos/$3 beers! And the Guac is perfection.
DianaAugust 16, 2012Get the Camenchana for a drink! Sangria and Margarita mixed together! Delicious!
Jeff ForbesMay 26, 2013When it's crowded, leave your name and go grab a drink somewhere else. They really pack it in!
Lunch specials before 4pm. Cheap and delicious. Sangria's are frickin amazin'. Try the red.
A neighborhood staple. Whenever unsure of what to have for dinner think Chavela's!- Never ever ever come here on a Saturday night unless you want to wait 1.5 hours. Stick to weeknights & brunch or just order delivery. Fortunately the food and cocktails are well worth a long wait.

"Tacos are all excellent. They cover a lot of bases that might ordinarily be spread across 3 adjacent taqueria stands, but they were all very good. Solid basic marg and mezcal."

"My favorite local joint. Lots of options, lots of salsa options."
