The patio was closed due to the rain so the inside bar was crowded. we got to sit at one of the booths and had an amazing time. Michele was our server/bartender and was attentive the entire time.

I overheard the next booth tell her it was their daughters birthday so she made sure to get a dessert and the little girl was so happy. To be that busy (every table was full as was the bar) she smiled and gave great service the whole time. We will be back!

The chips were warm and fresh, and the salsa was chunky and spicy. Our server was so friendly, and we had excellent service. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Quesadilla. It was delectable! The smoky flavor, tender and juicy chicken, and the nicely-sized portion made this an excellent meal. For dessert, we ordered the Churros. And wow!

My wife loved her tostada and my fajitas were good...not great. The chicken seemed to not have a lot of flavor. The Margarita's on the ricks were good...again, not great. What is odd it that I was charged for Vegetarian Fajitas as well. I did not look at my receipt until I was 2,000 miles away. The Manager of Chavas credited my Visa was he informed of the issue. Again, Maricela was key in rectifying the issue. Chavas was very good and we would return if in the area.

The service was attentive and the food came fast. This restraunt checks all the boxes for me. It is moderately priced but understandably so. For a negative, I thought the sandwich was a little dry, perhaps adding some more pastor would make it more juicy. I did have some birria sauce on the table which helped but masked the pastor flavor. Also the avocado was also all placed on one side and on the first bite so I spread those out more evenly. I left feeling very satisfied!

There are a few seats outside on a patio. I ordered the combination platter. It had a Chile Relleno, rice, and beans. I would say it was average. The Chili Relleno was pretty small. I'm not sure if I would order that again. I did see someone have the burrito California and it looked delicious. I might need to try that next time. They did bring chips and salsa to the table. The restaurant was decorated very festive. I loved the big massive wood doors to the restrooms. I believe their wait staff pretty much pulls all their tips together, and everybody helps out where needed. They were very attentive and we got our food really quick.
