Awesome tacos! We have turned on at least a half dozen friends to this place...just for the birria tacos. Check 'em out! This is not a sit down restaurant...it is a take out joint. read more

Asada Torta was MID ASF, 90% guac nd lettuce 10% asada. I mean Cahhmann. Everything else was cool though ig

Chavira's has amazing food! The beef chimichanga is perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The sausage breakfast burrito is hearty and satisfying. Their birria queso tacos and quesadillas are rich, cheesy, and absolutely delicious! read more

Have been a customer of Chavira's when it first opened. This was before they served food or even meat. It was just a produce store. Then they started carrying various items. Still later, they sold some tamales during the holidays, which were excellent. Then they started a meat market, and later started selling prepared foods. Ok, this was sort of exciting. Cool. We had some birria tacos, carne asada, burritos, etc., the past two years. Now... yeah, no. First of all their burritos weren't that good. Los Compas, on the other side of the Hwy are better. Their birria was ok, the asada was good, but awfully expensive. Especially considering that birria and asada are both made from some of the cheapest meat on the cow. So, they're close, and I like their asada most of all. I go online to see if their prices have gone up. Last time it was somewhere between $15 and $18 for half a lb. I go online and it's over $21... for HALF a lb!! Are you freaking kidding me. So I come over to Yelp to leave this review, and I read another, one star review, which says that their online prices are higher than in store. What?!!? WHY?!?! That's just stupid!! So I look all over their website, facebook page, etc., looking for their "in store" prices. Nothing. WTH kind of business is this?!! These people are just over here trying to rip people off. We're not going back ever again. We'll stick with Los Compas or some other place to get asada. It's just sad that an originally successful business has gotten so greedy that they could care less about their customers, and make as much money as they can with no concern for the people they serve. Disgusting. read more

This place charges you $5 more online for a taco plate instead of going into store, first she said "I'll refund you" then said "well that's your problem because you ordered online. It's not our problem our website has a different price than the store" WOW! Very disappointing for a long time customer will never return read more

Went to Chavira's on Del Ray for their agua frescas at 7:00 through their drive in cause my little girl was craving some. Sign says drive through closes at 8. No one would answer the drive, we just sat there waiting. Pulled to front went inside. Lady said kitchen was closed and that included the agua frescas too. It was 7:30. Apparently they close when they want too. Won't go there again. Unpredictable business. Don't advertise a closing time if you have no intention following it. read more

We had to come back! We have tried the jalapeño poppers and beef fajitas from the meat counter. They were both excellent. We ordered breakfast burritos and they were very good. Everything we have gotten here has been amazing! read more

Delicious as always. Chaviras is definitely one of my favorite places to get tacos. It reminds me of some bomb street tacos in Mexico. Some people make barbacoa way too greasy but Chaviras nails it every time. read more

Chavira's - Barbacoa is delicious - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Very helpful and friendly. The Chaviras tortilla chips are the best ever!!! A fantastic selection of Mexican grocery items.

I've been here many times throughout the years for shopping, but today I tried the menudo for takeout. The tripe was not fully cooked the way I like, so many pieces were too chewy. It took me a long time growing up to eat the tripe, so I'm picky. The soup and all the fixings were fine, especially the red chile. They have lots of other options, but on Sunday mornings I like menudo and was disappointed. read more

Convenient food store off of Hwy 70 that serves burritos and other Mexican cuisine. There's a bakery shelf, meat section, ice cream/popsicles, snacks, nuts and beverages. Nice place for a quick bite. read more

Best asada tacos I have ever had!! Small neighborhood shop. Love this place!!!!!!!!!!

Good little hole in the wall Mexican market. The menudo here is on point. Very good flavor. Also tried the breakfast burritos. They are good just not big portions. I also found fresh roasted hatch chilis in the off-season which I had a hard time finding anywhere else. All in all you will not be disappointed with this place. read more

Never disappoints. Carne asada and deshebrada tacos are great. Rice was excellent. Chile relleno burrito on point.

All of the food is great. I have tried the menudo, gorditas, quesabirria tacos, chile relleno burritos, the chicharrón burritos, and the tripitas. We just keep coming back. The quality of the food is consistent, tasty 99% of the time. Highly recommend. read more

Meat is over priced and mostly vegetables. I told the guy I didn't want that much vegetables and the guy gave me an attitude. read more

Chavira's - Fajita meat. - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Just grabbed a quick lunch from this little cute market. I had the chicharron Gorditas with Spanish rice and beans it was wonderful. Gordita's were spicy just by themselves. They also came with a wonderful hot sauce. I love chicharron when they are soft. It is hard to find a place that serves them. I will definitely be back. read more

My team at work order from this place at least once a month. The tortillas are made fresh and the food is some of the best I have tasted in Las Cruces! Yum! Yum! read more

Love the store, it's super clean. Ordered menudos today, that was not good. Flavorless/bland. 4.29 for a small horchata. Next time I'll go across the street to mariachi's - even the bread is better there. The quesobirria tacos were good. read more

If you're in New Mexico and want a fast but full of taste lunch, try Chavira's! They have tacos, gorditas, tortas made you order. On the weekends they also sell tamales and menudo. The place is small, but makes up for it by being fast, clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. It's seems like a very fast paced family owned place. They also sell meats, fruits, and Mexican snacks....and tortillas. We bought tacos al pastor and carnita gorditas with Mexican cokes. Also we got some fruit and snacks for the road. We really enjoyed it there. read more

The food here is so good, and super fresh! I loved their ceviche!! It was out of this world and super addictive. All the staff who work there are very nice and helpful. I am in love with the ceviche. You can also find fresh produce here, at good prices. They have fresh meat and tortillas. Everything including the peanuts that they sell are so good. Definitely a hidden gem here in las cruces. I wished I would have known about this place before. I definitely recommend it to all of my friends. My favorites so far are the ceviche and the Tacos de barbacoa!!! They are so delicious. I have tried their tortas and they are good too. Oh and the prices are very reasonable too. You can have the best of both worlds here, fresh ingredients and good food. read more

Great food and service we love going there every Saturday after our Friday night festivities

Food is fantastic. Gorditas, chips, salsa and quesabirria did not disappoint! Staff was friendly and helpful I Wii be back again.

Chaviras always has good meet , great customer service and their tacos package is very good.

just a nice convenient local grocery. limited stock. but great service. and i hear the food is great. looking forward to try it.

I had come in to grab a quick bite for lunch and I had ordered the Gordita plate which was served with three gorditas and a side of rice and beans. The food was so flavorful however their sauces were a little too spicy for my liking. The rice was soft and fluffy with so much flavor and the beans were smooth and silky. If you want something quick and with a little heat I recommend this place. read more

This is a gem! This little market has it all. The best tamales I've tasted so far in Las Cruces! Great menudo on the weekends! The staff is especially friendly and helpful. You can also pick up fresh fruit and veggies along Mexican sweet bread and your favorite drinks! Oh and don't forget to try their tacos! Always support small businesses! read more

The food is okay the service lacks! Honesty I don't know why people think it's great, yeah it's cheap food but so is Taco Bell. Waiting for a simple taco plate took 22 minutes and yet they gave me a wrong order. And then it took another 10 minutes just to get it right. I'm sorry but it's not worth it, the food or the wait. I told the cashier I wanted my money back I rather go somewhere else that wouldn't take this long for just one plate. She was polite and apologized but I won't be back and I'll let everyone know my experience. read more

Great Place to Get Your Menudo on a Saturday Morning......It was Delicious........The Place is clean and the Service is good also....It was definitely worth the Drive. read more

A saving grace for the east mesa area. Milk, bread, tortillas, fresh veggies, cheese, meats, candy, some canned basics. They also serve cooked plates, tacos, menudo, carnitas, and more. Sooo nice not to drive all the way to town for a few needed things. Convenient right down the strip mall from Family Dollar too, not to mention Pizza Palazzo. read more

Great place for deals on fresh produce in the East Mesa area. We left with 3 bags full of produce for only $8.00. Quality produce & small selection of Mexican grocery items in a well-organized, clean storefront. They are a distributor of Felix Mexican Bakery goods and AJ's tortillas. They will be accepting EBT soon. They have another location in town but this is a great option for those of us all the way on the east side. For a limited time, they'll be roasting Sandia green chiles on Saturdays & Sundays....mmmmm, my favorite! read more

Hell ya! finally a good homemade tasting burger, the tacos and burritos look good too. Definitely be back to try other items.

Only place I go for vegetables and fresh corn tortillas. So glad I live down the street, fresh chorizo, chile powders, seasonings and definitely the fresh tamales. It's your neighborhood store :) Stop by read more

A GOOD CARNICERIA BUT BELOW AVERAGE FOR DINING For the overall dining experience Chavira's is ranked 47th on the Mr. Sensitive list among Las Cruces Mexican food establishments. The food however is a bit better than the overall rating would indicate. Chavira's Grocery and Carniceria is a smallish grocery store out beyond Onate High School. While they do supply most of the grocery store basics, they also feature their home made corn tortillas and a fine selection of meat to be used in Mexican cooking. The back carniceria area has a little window where you can place your order. For prepared meals they have a small menu available. You are given a paper to take up to the front register and that is where you pay. The young lady at the register gives you a slip showing you paid and you return to the back area to wait for your food. They have a few high tables with large plastic bar-type stools for dining in. They are not very comfortable. The atmosphere for dining in is not great and one should primarily view this as a takeout place. The folks working there I found to be very pleasant and helpful....really willing to please. The prices for the food were a little on the expensive side: a middle sized carne asada burrito was $5.75, an al pastor torta was $6.50 and it came with nothing on the side, and a glass of agua fresca was a whopping $3.50. I could have purchased three plus cans of pop at some places for that, or a large drink with free refills for a buck and a half less. Regarding the food: the al pastor meat was diced in smaller chunks which were a little dry, not juicy at all, and limited in flavor. The torta roll had a real nice flavor but its texture was soft and it became a little mushy. It did not hold up well making it necessary to finish the torta with a fork. The lettuce in the torta was not shredded finely. The avocado was good. All-in-all, this was a mediocre torta; not bad but not real good either. The flavor of the roll was the best part. The medium sized asada burrito on the other hand was really good. The carne asada had a real nice flavor and the tortilla was top notch.....really good. This was not one of their corn homemade tortillas but a commercial variety. But, it was really good. With the meal I was given little cups of red and green salsa; both were quite high on the heat. The flavor was ok. The aqua fresca de melon was good....not much more to say. What to expect if you go: A place for casual dining only, dining that is uncomfortable, very friendly and helpful people (the ladies preparing the food speak mostly Spanish), prices that are a little high, and food that can be good or mediocre....depends on what you order. It's not all the same quality. Restaurant rating = as a place to dine TWO-AND-THREE-QUARTER STARS....meaning, below the norm. View this as primarily a takeout place. That asada burrito was very good! read more

Nice neighborhood Market that has a little of everything that a Super Market has. Great meat Dept and home made chorizo. EXCELLENT Mexican Food and tamales. Burritos are awesome and inexpensive. read more

This is well worth the stop ! I had carnitas burrito!!! 5 star. Hubby had cheese crisp. Could not finish it. Took it with us for breakfast.

They have the Best corn tortillas in town. I love their corn tortillas ; they are perfect to make tacos and flautas, or just eat them freshly made. They have a great meat selection and also grocery selection ; good prices and very friendly staff. their food is awesome!! their refried beans are so delicious and there salsas are so good & spicy. read more

Very convenient, has a lot of different grocery items at a reasonable price, and the staff is always friendly and helpful

Good produce for the most part at great prices. The milk is a bit expensive, but I suppose it depends on how desperate you are. It closes rather early (@8pm) so that's a little inconvenient. I've never eaten the food but the tortillas are often fresh and still warm. read more
