If you're in the mood for Mexican food that hits different than what you're used to, you'll find it here. They put their own unique flair on everything from the salsas to the drinks to the burritos. My all time fave is the mission burrito, packed with healthy ingredients but loaded with flavor and sauces. It's delicious! It's a fun atmosphere and all the servers we've had have been super nice and helpful. They also offer a convenient lane outside for takeout so you don't even need to leave your car.

Was expecting a cute restaurant with street tacos. Was I surprised. This is a large…read morerestaurant/sports bar that serves Mexican food. We got there about 2pm and were given the lunch menu. The premise is you have about 10 plates to choose from. You chose the protein and the sides for the plate you choose. I had the 2 steak tacos with rice and beans. I was very surprised by the quality of food and the execution of deliciousness when I took my first bite. It was yummy! My husband had the carne asada tacos as well but the potatoes as his side. He was impressed by the flavors as well. Samantha was our server and she was awesome. The price very reasonable for the quality of food served. Will be back!

I'm very sad to leave this negative review. I really like Chavez but I seem to like it less and…read moreless these days. The last few times we went the service has been bad. Very, very slow, forgotten entrees and drinks. I even told a friend she must go try Chavez and she. She finally did she told me she would not go back. She said her food was bland and the server seemed angry and kept slamming stuff. However, the experience that bothered we the most was about a week ago. We went there with a family from Denmark. They were excited to try Mexican food. I ordered the BBQ quesadillas and so did one of the Danes sitting directly across from me. My husband also ordered a dish with shredded pork. Part way through eating my quesadillas I felt a very large bone in my mouth. Not the kind you could even swallow by accident. I had to very discretely spit it into my napkin because I didn't want the person eating the same dish to get grossed and a ruin their experience. I'm just really glad it wasn't in her dish. When we went home I told my husband about the bone and he said he actually had a bone in his shredded pork as well. This is not something I can overlook, so I will definitely not order that dish ever again. I will likely stick to cheese quesadillas there in the future. Places need to be more careful with the quality and preparation and their meat. Also, the service really needs improvement at this point.

The cuk marg had about 6 fruit flies the calhamamango tasted like mango tomato soup but the watermelon marg was okay. The food, we ordered cheese dip, a seafood chimichanga and Texana (3 meat) fajitas. The chimichanga was mid. The fajitas had shrimp and beef but they boy 3 pieces of chicken. The best part of the fajitas were the onions and peppers. The beans and rice both tasted microwaved and from 4 days ago. It was awful! And finally the service. Meh, let's go with if I can't say anything nice I shouldn't say anything. So we will leave that right there. The food runner/ bus person was a better server. And I foresee this business shutting down in 6 months. On a side note it was not busy at all. They should definitely spend some time cleaning!

I remember when this was a fast food joint, but the interior now is totally different. We were impressed with the change. We were able to be seated quickly. For a Sunday it was pretty busy. They've several TVs around the restaurant so you can watch while eating. The menu is pretty extensive and has something for everyone. Lucky us, they had 5 dollar jumbo lime margaritas and 10 dollar fajitas for their specials that night. We were like sold! The husband saw queso and chips on the menu... needless to say we ordered it ASAP. The queso was pretty damn good. Not bland nor was it watery. Very addicting!! The jumbo frozen margaritas were strong and hit the spot. If I weren't driving, I would've had at least 1 or 2 more. Next time tho!! The chicken fajitas were massive. We honestly expected small portions considering it was the special. It was huge! The fajitas were outstanding. Lots of flavors and super tender. My mom and husband finished theirs. I only had room for half of it. Gotta save room for dessert!! The churro dessert we ordered was to die for. The dessert came in a huge cup with ice cream topped with caramel along with 4 churros. We all inhaled that dessert!! We left full and happy. Great spot overall! Great service and food. Definitely coming back next time I am in town.
