Food was about 8/10. But the vibes here especially during a brunch top tier! We stayed for three dj sets and the girl was by far my fav she had us all dancing and forgetting to order food. Drinking flowing and service top tier!!! read more

Do not go here. My daughter and friends were there last night. 10 phones were stolen. The Dj might be in it. The owner asked my daughter to go in a room that was all the way in the back of the building telling her and her friend that he was going to help her get her phone. He asked her to enter her email and password into a computer that he has in that room. She obviously said no. He got upset that she said no. Apparently he was trying to help her get her phone. She said, it was creepy feeling. There is no way 10 phones were stolen in one single night. This place is working together with someone to steal phones. My daughter's phone was turned off and not this morning is on and it shows this location. This is too weird. Give people back their phones. read more

Perfect for the games especially for playoffs. Massive tvs everywhere and solid happy hour specials.

Called ahead to asked if I could watch a soccer game with the sound on the patio away from everyone and they said it was cool. Show up and the manager can't figure it out but me and my friend stayed anyway. Half way through, the sound of MMA starts playing through the speakers. I ask the manager if we can put my game on. He says there's people coming in for the fights. 30 minutes in, we're still the only people in the establishment. read more

I love Chako's on Wednesday nights with the live band karaoke. The host is awesome and the band is so good and you could sing any song and they play right along with it. They have good food specials too. read more

R&B BRUNCH FOOD: 1/5 SERVICE: 3/5 ATMOSPHERE: 3/5 Came here for R&B brunch, and the menu was overpriced for the quality of the food. $35 per person for the buffet + 1 entree of your choosing. I got the Anaheim Green Chile Omelet and it lacked seasoning. The spicy potatoes on the side were dry & lacked flavor. My table got a variety of other food (steak and eggs, burrito, chicken and waffles, etc). The only redeemable menu item was steak and eggs (steak was cooked well, wasn't dry). Service was okay. It was very loud (think: club setting, and we had to flag the servers down several times for service. The people who buss the tables were so on it though & that was greatly appreciated! Atmosphere was VERY loud. Bring earplugs if you still decide to come here. The DJs for the afternoon, however, did a great job bringing the mood up so props to them. Advice on what could be improved: lower the music slightly so people can dance & also talk. And update the kitchen menu to include for seasoning for all entrees. read more

The place was so cool and it has a lot of variety options for what they offer here. Definitely cool

We went here for the Love Island Watch Party. Today 7/6 was especially crowded (and very loud!) since it was also the Concacaf Gold Cup Final USA v Mexico. As the soccer game was nearing an end, the start of Love Island S7, 30 was featured on a large split screen (although there are other smaller screens throughout the restaurant). At first, it was hard to hear since most everyone was hyped over celebrating the Gold Cup winner during the team trophy ceremony. Once that was over, the crowd died down and noise level was more manageable. There is a special Love Island Munchies Menu for the event (see photo). We ordered some drinks and shared the Heartbreaker (Beef) Sliders which were meh. The service was awful and the ambiance was worse since some patrons were seemingly allowed to vape inside the restaurant. The smell was like a cloud that permeated around us which unfortunately affected our dining and viewing experience. Because of this, we will not be going back here next Sunday to watch the show finale. read more

Super welcoming and accommodating. Went to a private event hosted here and the owner was super friendly to our group.

Chill vibes. Service was quick. It's spacious for events. Would consider renting them out if I had a need for an event space like this

Amazing service, staff was very nice and accommodating with our event great and open space. Drinks were perfect not to strong it was a great time. read more

I have been coming here for Love Island and my first visit I loved it. The vibes inside were great and the food was yummy. Our wings were forgotten by our waitress but they were taken off the check. Nonetheless, I had fun and the drinks were delicious. I came back today and noticed they got rid of their happy hour food, which was interesting considering they just had it last week. A bit disappointed because that's what I loved about last time. As well, today our wings were forgotten yet again. Each time they took 45ish minutes to come out. At that point I didn't even want them after waiting so long, our drinks were finished, other food was eaten and we were ready to leave. I can understand this happening once but twice made me sad. I might come back again but just not order wings, they seem to be bad luck lol read more

Came here do the first time and I loved it. Great atmosphere!!! Ana was great served my drinks with exceptional service. read more

If you are looking for party vibes and brunch this is the spot. The brunch menu is small but the food was really good. I got the French toast which was good and I love that it came with eggs and a protein. I also got to try the Chilaquiles with green salsa which has a good flavor and a little spicy. I loved the bottomless mimosas and the big screen tvs showing the football games! read more

Came here for club/bar. If you're looking to dance enjoy music, I would not recommend it here. The DJ is terrible. Choice of music and transitions between each song was horrendous. The drinks were overpriced and watered down. Not to mention we had to pay $10 to get into this mess of a place. I don't recommend coming here. Someone who regularly enjoys the night life in downtown fullerton said that roofies happen here. Be careful! read more

If you're looking for a karaoke night that's not your typical bar setup, you have to pull up to Chako Social when Eric Tucker is hosting. This isn't just karaoke -- it's a full-on experience. You get to sing with a live band, and the energy is unmatched. From the sound quality to the vibe, everything feels top-tier and interactive. The drink specials were solid, and the food hit the spot -- way better than your average lounge menu. You can tell the crowd comes to have a good time, and the staff keeps everything moving smooth. I've already been back more than 3 times, and honestly, I wish they did this more nights out the week. It's one of a kind -- a whole vibe. Don't miss read more

If you're looking for a band that brings real energy, talent, and soul to the stage, look no further.. I had the chance to catch them live and was completely blown away. The vocals were powerful, the musicianship was tight, and their stage presence had the whole crowd vibing from start to finish. You can tell they truly love what they do, and it shows in every note they play. Whether you're into R&B, soul, funk, or a mix of genres, they've got something for everyone. Highly recommend booking them for events, weddings, or just catching their next live show. Support real music read more

Head down to chakos and hit up Liz the bartender, shes really cool and will take care of you.

Raquel is Amazing! She did a great job. Great time, great vibe, great music. Had a great time with my party read more

Thank you for chakos! I was pleased once I arrived to my table. My friends and I enjoyed our time but soon we were met with management and advised of our 1.5 hour limit. Luckily we mentioned we had reserved a table and then was told our time was extended. We enjoyed an extra 3 hours then moved to a smaller table where we were accommodated and enjoyed the rest of our time. read more

Well, this looks like it would be super fun to come here when there is entertainment. The atmosphere was super loud and a bit wild, but we made reservations online and when we got here, it was fight night! Hahahaha! We almost left, but the dashingly handsome manager let us stay to eat without paying the "fight night charge" of $10 each. The food is good, although it is not a big menu. The drinks I tried, the spicy passionfruit margarita, and the Mejores Amigos, were yummy, but not at all strong g. So, for $28 I felt like I didn't have a drink yet. lol The mediterranean flatbread was piled with goodness, lots of flavor and fresh ingredients. It was fabulous. The ceviche de mar was good, but not the best I've had. Too mild with no heat at all, but fresh and juicy. We might come back, but maybe not. read more

Really fun and engaging space. The servers, owner, and entertainment try their best to excite the crowd and keep us the priority.

Solid drinks and great atmosphere, very attentive as well. This place has come a long way!

DO NOT COME HERE FOR LADIES BRUNCH!!! I booked the VIP Brunch for 6 people ($200 package) and was excited about the experience, especially since I've been coming on Wednesday nights for karaoke. Unfortunately, the service and food were extremely disappointing. VIP package confusion: When we arrived, our waitress never asked about our VIP status and immediately requested another card on file. It seemed as though the prepaid package wasn't even acknowledged until much later. Drinks: The first drink (a tequila/honey mix) was undrinkable, and it took over 2.5 hours before my table received a second round. Only after I spoke with Cory, the business manager, did things start to move forward. He did eventually acknowledge the VIP package and worked to correct the bill, which I appreciate. Food quality and pricing: The buffet alone was $35 per person, and each plated item carried its own price -- $22 for chicken and waffles, $17 for a burrito, and $17 for an omelet. Despite these high prices, the food was disappointing. The buffet was poorly presented and mostly cold (French toast, pancakes, muffins, Danish). The chicken and waffles, described by the waitress as large enough for two people to share, came as half a waffle with potatoes, a wing/drumstick, and a fried egg. The omelets and burrito lacked seasoning and flavor. Overall, the quality did not justify the cost. Service & billing: The bill included over $75 in hospitality fees and items that had to be corrected. When we asked our waitress about the fee, she told us it was "herpitude." Later, when I asked Cory about it, he said it was actually an "event fee." The discrepancy is incredible and shows a complete lack of consistency or transparency. On top of that, when we raised concerns, the server acted as though we were the problem rather than taking accountability. While I give credit to Cory, the manager, for ultimately addressing the billing confusion and acknowledging the VIP package, the server's attitude, the food quality, and the overall experience were terrible. On top of that, a card from my party was erroneously charged $94 that should have never been processed. I have also since learned that other guests and parties have been charged after the fact by this establishment, with amounts ranging from $95, plus additional unexpected charges of $5-$14. This is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns. Hospitality fees are applied to whomever the server wants to apply it to. Lastly, I was there from 11am till 450pm. The total drinks ordered 3... HOW IS THIS A GOOD BRUNCH when I spent more time trying to get things then getting them as a VIP guest. read more

Every time I come here I feel like I found my spot. Always get great service from Lizz and there are always events that draw me back in. I was here when it used to be JP23 and I feel like they really found their identity now. I will plan to be here often read more

Shout out to Raquel our waitress!! She was the best !! She was super friendly knew the drink menu and food menu!! Thank you!!

Imagine getting a table and spending hella money on drinks and they take the 50$ drink no warning lol (coulda been like take your last drinks ) Never again crazy shitty costumer service . read more

Came here to celebrate a friends birthday. We got there at 1;30 during their R&B brunch which was amazing as far as the atmosphere. The thing I didn't like was you HAVE to purchase the $35 Buffet as your only food option. They do not allow you to order any other food until 3:00. Other than that it was a cool environment, very chill. read more

Gabriela here again. Now my review is about women Djs this Sunday July 6th.. Food was good , service was good, ambient was good. .. we were there this past March for my bday EVERYTHING WAS GREAT EVERYONE WAS FRIENDLY. This time we went to celebrate my friend's birthday I thought it was going to be the same BUT UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT,, I approached Dj stand and requested a song one of them asked the one playing the music than said to me. Can u come back in half an hour? I said yes will do. I waited for about an hour or so went back to dj stand asked about my requested song she said She doesn't have it, I requested a different song same thing. I than requested a different song same bullshit,,,,, At that point I got really upset. And said u guys r not good Djs And this is bullshit, turn around went to our table and continue our celebration. I didn't asked for their names or complaint to manager. When we went in March Dj name was baby butter and p-nasty. NOW THEY WERE GOOD. everyone was requesting songs and they played them This Sunday . By 6pm when we left there was not a lot of people left in the place. I hope next time we go it will be a better experience. read more

I visited this place..and honestly, it was a mess. The food was alright--nothing special, but not terrible either... The atmosphere was far from enjoyable. They had way too much going on: UFC fights on, basketball games on, a DJ playing, and on top of that, piano music in the background. It felt chaotic and overwhelming rather than lively. If you're looking for a fun or focused experience, this isn't the place... read more

Showed up on a Thursday night thinking we'd finally found a spot downtown with some life. The hostess took one look at us, waved the bouncer over, and we got the classic: "Sorry guys, private event." No check, no list, just a quick no. We stepped aside the alley entrance , had a smoke, tried to think of what else to check out and a couple of guests came out. When we asked about the "private party," they said they only knew about it from Instagram and mentioned they were 17. Thhats when we noticed all there "guests" looked to be the same age. That was enough for us to call it a night. The vibe just felt... off. Something weird going on forsure not the type of ambiance I was looking for read more
