I came to this resturant because a local recommended it, and she highly praised it. Here are the pros -Really good food. -Staff is friendly. Here are the cons -It took ten minutes to get the beer I ordered. -The beer was cool, but not cold. -It took quite a long time for me to get my chimichanga. read more

Came here around the year 2013 or so with my two boys (then), we had some really good Mexican Food at the Hacienda attached by. The place is clean and good, I would totally recommend the bar side (Las Chabelas) by my experience right by... if I had a sitter I would totally go have a lovely Chabela read more

This is a nice bar, like the atmosphere. Great food, especially the bacon wrapped peppers. Friendly bartenders and wait staff. Highly recommended!! read more

The very best Mexican food. Chips and salsa are good. Fajitas is good. But their seafood soup is totally awesome. I always get it when I come here. read more

Food, service & atmosphere are pleasant! Love the chile rellenos and the chile gueros bacon wrapped! read more

Las Chabelas Restaurant - Combination plate chile rellenos with added shrimp inside :) fresh horchata to compliment. What a delicious combo! - Mexican Near Me - Brawley, California

Las chabelas restaurant is not the same. last time I ate there was about a year ago. I was in there last night services was okay but it could of been better. The food is not the same, the taste and portion is not the same. when I ask for refill on my ice tea I got hot tea with no ice. Next time I come visit my home town I won't be stopping by read more

Service is a little slow but their food is cooked to perfection, well worth the wait!!

Food is average, nothing special. It might be really great for some since there's hardly any options in Brawley. The service isn't that great either. Some waitresses don't accommodate customers. I live in Brawley and only eaten there twice. I prefer to eat in El Centro. read more

My mom had heard from a friend rave reviews about their menudo so we finally decided to go. We went on a Thursday. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The broth was cloudy and milky? Not clear and red as you see in traditional menudo. It was also extremely salty - and I love salt. I mentioned it to the server and she said they had a different person who made it on weekends and it was much better then. Why would they be okay serving mediocre menudo during the week? I don't know. Service was also super slow and there was constant traffic of people flowing down the middle of the restaurant heading towards some room in the back. Maybe a bar? Very distracting. read more

Las Chabelas Restaurant - menudo - Mexican Near Me - Brawley, California

Good food, good drinks. Bar tender Chris took care our our party all night & even brought us gum before we left. :)

Seriously so gross i phoned in a order for a burrito i get there i have to wait because they messed it up then when i get it and go home i open it and it was not even a burrito zero rice zero beans zero nothing just the tortilla and the meat and the meat was not even seasoned it was suppose to be a burrito de chile verde and eeww there was no chile at all it was so not kool and i was starving. ...it was the sadest burrito in the western hemisphere read more

Went for a pickup today and had to wait 40 mins for the order to be complete. They first told me oh we just put in the food it'll be a bit. 25 mins they said 15 mins more. I asked so it usually takes over 30 mins for an order. They said oh no but we only have 1 cook. But other people orders had to be coming out. Waiting for so long I thought I was on kitchen nightmares with the cook inside freaking out trying to do multiple dishes at once. I wasn't going to be surprised if Gordon Ramsey walked in and questioned why it's taking so long for anyone to get their food. Terrible service all around Including one of the waitresses that lied about the timing and overall factor that it didn't matter if I waited 40 mins for mediocre food because it's not affecting her. I was not offered anything for the such long wait. Definitely avoid for the reasoning of you have to plan when you're going to be hungry, for mediocre food, and for horrible service. read more

We stopped by on our way back from the Salton Sea trip and I was craving fish tacos! Frozen fish that was still cold and tortillas that fell apart and no seasoning at all. The rice no flavor and was clumped together. The only decent things were the beans but they tasted like ones from a can. There must be better Mexican food so close to the boarder. read more

Pros: Quick service, decent food. Cons: Food is decent, not the best. Overall, the restraunt is of average quality. read more

Granted we were a very large party but they did forget one order. The stuffed peppers were really good but my special quesadilla could have been better. The rice and beans were excellent read more

Service is friendly but at times can be slow. Food is standard Mexican but a good variety of kinds. Seafood is fresh tasting. Breakfast and desserts are available along with some American food favorites like hamburgers and cheesy fries. read more

Food was good, service was friendly, met all expectations but did not blow me away. I had the Chile Colorado with corn tortillas. The red sauce was not very flavorful, but the beef was cooked perfectly. For a quick bite to eat in Brawley, Las Chabelas Restaurant is a decent stop. read more

Food took forever to get to us and everything tasted like it came out of a can. Returned my food because I lost my appetite. Won't be going to this place again. Taco bell has better Mexican food! I would give zero stars if I could read more

Service was great, our waitress was very attentive and super friendly. Food was okay, the chile verde was really good, carne asada fries were also good, the pollo asada was not good (it was over cooked, dry, had no taste to it, rice in all plates also tasted like it was microwaved). The flour tortillas were good. Aguas frescas were okay. In a nut shell, the service from wait staff is excellent, had a good family atmosphere, has its own secluded bar area, I think they should install more the for those with families who want to watch games, but they need to work a little on some of their food items. But overall good place to dine at. read more

Don't be put off by appearances. From the outside this restaurant looks neglected or even abandoned, but inside you can count on very friendly service and good down-home Mexican fare. I had the Caldo de Pollo, which was excellent but get a small order unless you are very hungry, since it comes with rice, beans and a huge stack of fresh tortillas. When I asked if I could substitute some lettuce for the rice, our waitress brought me a small salad at no extra charge. Wow! read more

After a couple more visits with parties of at least 14 in group this month in June, I will add the Lengua(Beef Tongue) as my favorites. It is like tender roast beef and some find the thought of it negatively, it is an outstanding Dish that many places do not offer or cannot come close to Chabelas. read more

Honestly, the best Mexican food that I've ever had. I'm not Mexican, so I don't have a grandma, aunt or mom that cooks this shit for dinner or get to eat it on holidays or family parties. So if that's what you want to compare a restaurant too, skip my review and move onto another because I can't compare it to any of that. Beef Chimichanga is awesome, super crispy and the meat was ridiculously moist and flavorful. The lengua (beef tongue) was soft and full of flavor. I would skip the mole... it wasn't anything special to me. Love ordering Chebelas here... great flavor best if you drink it with dos equis. House salsa is a hit or miss, sometimes its good other times it taste like it was just from a jar with no spice. They do have a hotter salsa, that you could request for. Overall always good service, doesn't matter if you sit in the bar area or on the restaurant side. read more

On a bird watching expedition in the Imperial Valley when we stopped in for dinner. Everyone enjoyed their meal and margaritas! The highlight was Victoria, our waitstaff who was actually working on her birthday! Interactive and a great advocate for the restaurant, she added to the special evening. read more

This place looks a little sports bar-y, but fear not, the bar part is in another room separate from the actual restaurant. We came in the evening for dinner and were seated right away. The food is homestyle, not too salty, and very homey and comforting. The salsas, oh man, you can taste that they are homemade and you can taste the love in the food. It's not frilly or fancy, but authentic and satisfying. We ordered a combo with the chile relleno and cheese enchilada. The chile was a smaller chile, definitely not a poblano, and so it wasn't overly stuffed with cheese. You get the perfect chile ratio to cheese in every bite. The enchilada wasn't special, but it also wasn't heavy, greasy, or overly cheesy either. The beans and rice were seasoned well and not heavy. Their cadillac margarita is absolutely glorious, but I don't recommend having more than one if you want to make it back to your hotel in one piece. Lovely and friendly staff, will return here again to try the mole next time. Apparently, it's so popular they often sell out! read more

Grea tri tip tacos and fajitas. The salsa is also pretty tasty! I would recommend it if you're looking for Mexican food in Brawley! Also, the bar has an awesome HD projector and TVs. read more

Working nights in a town I never work before. Came across this amazing Mexican Restaurant. Great meals, tradition breakfast. But for myself seafood all the way Shrimp Ceviche and Cocktails. Too top it all off full bar open 0700. read more

Stopped her because I was craving authentic Mexican food not the place. If you are looking for a piece of Mexico this is wrong place. But if you want some Mexician Americian food this is place for you. Overall the food was actually not that bad. Their ceviche is really good and cocktails. But don't get their burrito which is the mistake I made, the meat had a lot of fat in it. But do get thier ceviche and coktails very delicious and to drink get thier horachata, the best one in the Valley. read more

This place los cool but there Service is slow. Their waitress are cool and laid back but the cooks take a long time to send out the food. There food is descent and good. But their wait is to long. I would recommend if you have time to sit around and chit chat. read more

We went with Dr for Valentine's day, the server we got was overwhelmed since it was a busy day and there was no one else helping her on the floor. I ordered some nachos and they had too much cheese and they were cold by the time I got them. They were stuck like a giant nacho. What was worse my coworker ordered the shrimp cocktail and she got food poisoned ended up at Pioneers Hospital. Really bad experience! read more

We came from out of town & my aunt suggested this place. We had lunch. The place wasn't crowded. The service took long. I wasn't impressed with the rice, beans & menudo. read more

Sat at the bar and had bunch of appetizers: chips and salsa, popcorn shrimp and cheese quesadilla with chicken and beer. Food was great and the action at the bar made for interesting watching. Will definitely go again the next time I go to Brawley read more

I hate to say this but if this is Cali Mex food I'm going back to Texas this place was slow dirty Sunday afternoon 230 took more than ample time to get service and food when it arrived it was very very bland very very pathetic Taco Bell could have beat this place. Order 2 cheese enchiladas and what I got was two tortillas with cheese in the center grounded in some kind of red sauce with lettuce and tomatoes all over the top of it and a sprinkling of some kind of drag cheese what was it I don't know it wasn't decent enough for me to finish both of them. Good thing it was on the way bye cuz I sure as hell wouldn't go out of my way to go there Taco Bell would have been a better deal today. my lovely wife had a hamburger and they even managed to screw that up. So much for a good Mexican food fix. good thing I'm on my way back to Texas read more

Very good food (we had lunch special enchiladas and a quesadilla "Sincrinazado") and wonderful service/great people--thanks very much!!!

This restaurant serves authentic Mexican dishes. We ordered chicken burrito, Pozole, fries with cheese and enchiladas served in red sauce. The service was good and we were seated shortly after we arrived. It was a good food experience for all. read more

Worse california burrito I EVER ate. Meat was dry. The tortilla was almost like rubber. Fries were cold. I understand people don't like there jobs but damn this shows! read more

Very good. We had lunch there, a combo plate for two which was more than enough. When we arrived the first thing we noticed was that the parking lot was very busy, a good sign. Although the place was busy we were seated promptly and served promptly. The staff were friendly and the food was good and reasonably priced. What more could you ask for? Would definitely recommend. read more

This place exceeded my expectations! I work for an out of town construction company, and was only going to be on-site long enough to put on an appreciation lunch for our crew. I did a little researching and eventually stumbled upon this restaurant. I began speaking with Abraham, and he was more than happy to help me coordinate this. He gave amazing food recommendations, had great pricing, and was even willing to add food the day of the event. He also recommended where to get our tables/chairs and tents, which worked out great. It's hard when you aren't able to be in the same city and plan a mid-size event like this. Now, onto the food! It was amazing, they provided chips, salsa, guacamole, beef fajitas, chicken fajitas, tacos, rice, beans, and shrimp ceviche. Everyone raved about it, and they even had the crew asking where they were located. It really was great and was super happy with how it all turned out. We did have some left-overs, but it worked out perfect for us 'out of towners' that are staying in a hotel for the night! read more

We had a large group so I understand maybe as to why we had such slow service but come on!! We had to ask for water several times, our food was cold, we heard dishes twice crashing in the kitchen. Food was sub standard, will not return. read more

Staff is very attentive and the food is always excellent, my gf lost her phone here and the staff was nice enough to find it and hold it for us while we came back for it. Awesome read more

Excellent service, ice cold beer, Ordered Camarones en Aguachile they were tasteless, not even salt or pepper where added, made with white onion where it should be with red onion, instead of using Chiltepin or some hot dried pepper, they used regular pizza red pepper. Had to ask for tostadas because they only serve it plain. Might not be the worst I've tried but definitely not the best. 10-12 shrimp might be enough if the were to add avocado read more
