"BEST AQUA FRESCAS -ALL 100% NATURAL!" "TORTA BREAD MADE DAILY -FRESH" "BEST AZ Limonada (lemonade)!! These tortas were delicious!!! I just wish portions were bigger and the beef needs to be a little more tender. I couldn't bite through the beef making me pull it out as I bite it. The chicken torta was perfect, I just wish it had chipotle mayo with more chicken. The limeaid and the horchata were absolutely delicious and made with love perfectly! I would definitely come back! Salsa bar was okay. I just wish the ingredients were fresh. The cucumber and limes were old. Fries are crispy and delicious!! read more

Quick take great great tortas great service will be back soon. Give it a try pretty sure you will enjoy.

Best Mexican food Love it we have been coming here for years. Everyone is great and the food is delicious at a fair price read more

Called in for an order. Originally had meant to get tacos, but I didn't really know what I wanted, and the lady suggested the Torta. She said that that was one of the best things on the menu and she recommended the pork one. The sandwich gave me a breakfast vibe... The only thing it was missing was an egg. So if you're looking for breakfast, I think the pork torta add a slice of egg... If they even have egg, would be delicious I also got the french fries, they were nice, hot, and crispy, and a little bit breaded. Those are great too. And they were nice and hot when I got them, she said the bread from the Torta has made it home, it was absolutely delicious... But it definitely made my tummy hurt. (That's my fault, I'm not suppose to eat gluten) lol, excuse that bad grammar and repeat statements... I did voice to text hehe read more

Outstanding food and service! Delicious food, staff is always incredibly helpful. I don't usually leave reviews for restaurants but this one definitely deserves it!! 10/10 read more

This place is so underrated. Two bean and cheese were $8 and change and they were both large burritos and super tasty. They melt the cheese inside the burrito to slightly burn the cheese which gives it a great taste. I can't figure out why it's not more popular than it is. Awesome spot. read more

This place has amaaaazing tortas. Its definitely a hole in the wall place, as I have driven by countless times and never thought about going inside. I knew better. I walked in and it isnt fancy or have frills but that is the best kind of Mexican food places. I ordered their torta with beef and green chile. They gave me a bottle of their red salsa which was okay. It wasn't spicy to me and I couldn't really taste it. But the torta on it's own was amazing. It was soft, the bread buttery and fell apart as I was eating it. The meat was tender and paired great with the mayo and avocado. I will definitely return next time. read more

Best tortas & tacos in town! Prices are so reasonable with real fresh ingredients. Taste is delicious! I can't wait for our next visit!

Fast and friendly service. Ordered the steak torta and it was very good!!! The salsa was a bit watery but O K.

Just moved to Mesa 4 days ago and today was the 2nd time coming here. This place is fire!! The beef Milanesa torta is my wides new favorite. Ive had the shrimp quesadilla and the asada burrito and both were great. I know we will be eating here for many years read more

Amazing tortas. I went with the beef milanesa and it was just fantastic. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because some employees weren't wearing masks due to Covid I felt a little scare read more

The place is a hole in the wall...... The best hole in the wall you can find! Don't pass by. Eat. Try it all! I'm only at two visits in and I want more of it. read more

Came here last night about 15 minutes before they closed since they were the only torta place opened, so of course I was hoping to have made a right choice when picking El Chavo. But I was VERY impressed with the Torta Cubana I got. Everything was perfect & so delicious that it made me sad that I only got 1! lol. Also the french fries were so delicious! Great place with amazing food! read more

Let me sing you the song of my people Aaaajúa!! Myself and my husband had never been here before. We were in the area house hunting when we pulled in to the parking area. We noticed many people going in and out the door. I asked my husband who swears by the YELP rule of 3 stars or more; if he wanted to just have dinner here. Upon approval. We came in. There's plenty of seating and ICE COLD A/C The restaurant and grills were really clean The flow of the restaurant was very good. It's cozy but not crowded. THEY HAVE BOLIS!!! Both the young ladies who took our order and poured our aguas frescas were really nice . They were well spoken and courteous when offering samples of the aguas and repeating our orders back. they have a well layed out menu and specialty menus. Don't blink or you'll miss something. We both ordered tortas with sides of rice and beans. Biddi biddi bom bom! Perfect beef milanesa torta! Grilled perfectly with mayonesa not butter. And the veggie toppings were good and fresh. Rice was good, beans were on point! I mean ON POINT. My husband had the cochinita piblin torta and he said it was very good. We washes our meal down with refreshing aguas de cantaloupe and horchata. Left with full bellies. And plans to return read more

So ive driven by this spot many times. We were in the area during lunch and i talked my coworker into trying it. Its in a sketchy area in mesa so usually that mean we are in for a treat. We walked into a small shop that was completely clean and friendly. We were excited cause right away we saw a baker baking their own torta bread so we were stoked! I ordered a carne asada torta and a horchata and my buddy ended up with a carne asada burrito and we got them to go. It felt like within minutes our orders were ready to go! Once we got back to our jobsite we dove into our food and to our suprise we were both pretty disappointed. There was such little meat in both our items it sucked. All fillers and no thriller... We were pretty disappointed setting as this place isn't cheap. I'll continue driving by hoping one day they give you what you pay for... read more

Traveling from NY visiting my -at the time -mexican gf's family, I was eager to try some tasty food! As soon as we passed by this place I knew I wanted to try it! I mean, come on! It's called "El Chavo". Sooo sin querer queriendo we ended up eating like 4 times during our trip! Tortas are like my drug, all fresh with tasty meat and delicious cheese! I have eaten plenty of tortas all around in NY, but man El chavo is in my top 3! Tenia que ser el Chavo del 8! read more

This place is horrible, asked for fries they messed up my order, they talk way to much and not focus on the meals they are prepping, the food is way too cold, the rice and beans are just trash, I regret ever giving this place a chance, I've now learned my lesson in going out to eat rather than staying home and eating cereal read more

No frills, hole in the wall type place but I tried the carne asada torta with fries and it was delicious! The fries were the best kind with lots of crunchy stuff on them and I think of them fondly often! read more

This is probably my favorite torta place in the phx area by far. My boyfriend and I came in with high expectations according to their reviews and they did not disappoint. I ordered the Cubano and it was so delicious, my boyfriend ordered the carne asada with fries and it was also sooooo good. read more

Pure magic in these tortas! I have dreams about these sandwiches! Staff is friendly and food is fresh :) read more

El Chavo Mexican Restaurant - Asada torta with papas. - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I think this place used to be a lot better, but maybe it is because of their growing business. They continue to deliver quality tortas but no longer pickup the phone to place carry-out and only give 1 salsa with a torta instead of 2. The place has been renovated greatly since they first opened and they have more friendly staff. Brush up on your Spanish if you are going to visit. The carne asadas tortas is basically the goto item; it is filling, the carne asada has great taste, and they use the freshest vegetables. Their aguas are also amazing and I recommend the Frutas one that has apple, strawberry, banana, and other magical mixes of fruits. read more

I love the food and the people. I always get the especial de el chavó and is super good

I wouldnt say its the best torta in the east valley but it was pretty good. Their carne asada was seasoned nicely and the bread was fresh but I wish they had toasted it a little bit. Horchata was housemade and also tasty. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. read more

This is one of our Mesa go to's for years. It is Family owned by a couple brothers and you can taste their care and love put into the food. They bake their own bread and it is delicious. The carne asada tortas are meaty, yummy, and thy don't go cheap on any ingredients. Full of avocado and meat!! They have our favorite Tostitos preparados , fresh, delicious and huge! A must try for sure! read more

This place is awesome. Señor Norton if you're seeing this Brayden Colton and I thank you. 9/10

We've gone here 3 times this week! I'm kicking myself for not giving this place a shot 4 years ago when we moved around the corner. The Desehebrada c/ Rajas and Cubana tortas are fantastic! The fries are also perfectly crisp and seasoned. You have to use their red/ brown hot sauce, very spicy but great flavor. read more

I have been driving by this place almost daily for 2 years. Finally stopped in and instantly regretted not coming sooner. The food was excellent and the staff super friendly. I will definitely be back!! read more

I walked over to here and got dinner one night during our stay. The tortas are delicious. We also tried their tacos and flautas were really good too. We'd go back again. read more

My favorite Mexican/Shrimp taco place I tasted in Arizona so far!!!! I'm addicted. The way they cook and season the shrimp is so perfect. Oh not to mention the good rice and beans read more

Hands down the best torta place in the east valley made to order very fresh and not expensive they give you a good amount of fresh cut avocado highly recommend read more

Best torta spot ever they always put a lot of yummy avocado on them. My favorite one is the milanesa torta!

This place is really tasty and good reminds me of homemade Mexican food from my grandma's house what she used to make the store cuz they pretty much used to taste the same way I love being Mexican!!! read more

The food is ok but I order my 3 carne asada tacos and they gave my order an other customer he touched the food and said this is not what I order The manager too back the food and try to give it to me, I told him to make me a new order or give me my money back he refused to make me a new order so I just walk out read more

The cochinita pobil torta is the best sandwich in the Valley of the Sun. Not exaggerating

Is probably the best Torta in the East Valley! Not a huge selection here, but you really wouldn't want to order anything else! Super fresh bread. Fresh ingredients with huge slices of avocado! The owners are what make this place special. Super nice guys with great service. read more

The tortas are bomb. Tiny hole in the wall place in a somewhat suspect part of town. The employees don't speak English, but it really doesn't matter. The food is delicious and they make it super quick. The tortas have heaps of fresh avocado (more than more places would ever put on a single torta). You can get gut busting full for about 5 bucks. read more

This place is pretty good. I had a vegetarian torta and it was good. The burgers they have here are not that great. They have these Jalapeños with soy sauce lemon and salt that my brother likes a lot. They do have different aguas frescas like horchata, fresa, Limon, coco, Jamaica, melon. They have ice cream fresas con cream. They have a lot you can choose from. read more
