Refried beans were disgusting. They had a melted white Velveeta cheese fake thing with lotta added water and a little bit of brown color couldn't even really really relate to being a bean.. I let him know I and then he brought me some refried beans which looked like they've been refried and added about 5 gallons of water to them so they were drinkable refried beans, very grotesque

I recently ordered takeout from Tres Caminos and was very unhappy with the food, service and condition of the restaurant. My chicken taco salad was dismal: the chicken was shredded and looked and tasted dry. It was a very small serving, and the bill was More than $12.00 - more than posted on the online menu. The other item, enchiladas verdes, was a tiny serving, only one enchilada, not three as listed on the online menu. Why so stingy?? The total bill was $48.00 - wrong price and way overcharged! No beverage, no side sauces, nada! The fellow at the counter offered no explanation, and quickly looked away. The whole place was a mess - old and tired looking. I notice that your place is popular And I'm surprised. It seems like folks have gotten use to mediocre food, high prices and rundown environment. It must be the margaritas...

As always, the service was friendly and attentive. My server had a larger group of 10 at another table, but he still was able to give me a single diner attentive service as well. Also, my Chava's Quesadilla with shrimp was top notch. I recently have become obsessed with having shrimp in my Mexican food and their version of a quesadilla with shrimp, satisfied my craving. I also appreciated their presentation on the plate and how they sliced it up into manageable pieces. My disappointment came from my Margarita and the Chili Con Queso. I always get the Top Shelf Margarita and today's, seemed very weak and the mix was also flavorless. The Chili Con Queso was the true disappointment. The menu described it as Spicy Mexican Cheese Fondue, "blended with" jalapeños, onion and tomatoes. When it was served, there was no blending. It simply was the cheese fondue with a scoop of Pico De Gallo in the middle. The complementary chips were warm and crisp. The salsa was chunky, but needed a little more spices in it give some pizzazz. I haven't given up on Chava's, I'll be back. I enjoy their main dishes too much, to mark them off my Mexican list.
