We came (2top) around 4:30 on a Friday, and we literally had the place to ourselves. We ordered the guacamole as an appetizer: beautifully plated and served. Excellent smoothness and taste, but a limited kick, which I enjoyed, but my companio was a bit disappointed with. We ordered a taco salad and the enchilada tamale plate. The taco salad could feed 3 and the entire dish was fresh. It was obvious the taco bowl was fresh. The enchiladas and tamales were perfect. Very well served by Eva. A must stop in South Fork!!! read more

The service was great. The fajitas had decent flavor however the meat way too small. The tortillas were good and fresh. The chips and salsa was just ok. The salsa itself was good and fresh but the chips were slightly stale. read more

Truly good! We seated ourselves next to the stone fireplace which needed a thorough cleaning and enjoyed the log cabin ambiance. Tables only, no booths. The rest of the place looked clean! Our server Dennis was very kind and attentive to us and answered all our questions. It was raining this evening but we were happy this place was open. After driving many hours from Denver, I opted for a margarita and got the Top Shelf. It was really delicious. Strong too!! They have a copious selection of dishes but I wanted the shredded beef enchilada and chile relleño combo which came with beans and rice. The beans tasted homemade and the machaca in the enchilada was amazing!! My fresh green chile relleno was filled with a yummy white cheese (not the dreaded cheap cheddar cheese!) and the portions were perfect. While the prices are higher than most other places, it's really a solid Mexican food restaurant!! read more

Do not stop here. Worst fake margarita and low quality Mexican food in my life. One sip of the marg and you'll feel like vomiting up cheap sweet and sour mix. my chicken tacos came out in 5 minutes and had a piece of chicken skin the size of the palm of my hand inside. I paid and left a full drink and plate behind it was so bad! read more

Where to being.... I know this sounds dramatic but I've never such terrible food in my life. The chile relleno tasted so bland and it literally felt like slime going down my throat. The napkins were so thin that I couldn't even spit it out. And when I asked to get it taken off my the bill she said sense I took 1 BITE, It couldn't be taken off. The enchilada tasted like rubber and supper bland. The red sause they used tasted like ketchup. And the queso we order at the being was so runny I could barely even get some on my chip. And service was ok. And ambiance was very depressing very dark and no life. If I were you go up the street and have some of the best Mexican food in Southern Colorado at Roman's! read more

Always a great place! Burgers are the huge and always cooked to perfection! Everything is great I have too many favorites!

This was the best Mexican food I've had in a long time wow! The interior is also really nice and cozy

Food was authentic. Not so Tex-Mex. Great service. We will be back. Clean and neat. It was quiet on a Sunday afternoon. But all the better.

Great Mexican food in Sourhfork. The food was delicious, the service extremely friendly and wonderful ambience in a 100-year-old wood structure. It's a must stop if you're in the area. read more

Ordered for pick up and food was really good! I definitely enjoyed the carnitas plate and my wife enjoyed the carne asada burrito

Grabbed take out from here bc other places were too busy.. that should have been our first sign... I can't account for the service bc of the take out situation, but the food was pretty bad. The fajitas were tough... we got beef for 1. The sides that are supposed to come w the fajitas basically didn't exist! Literally one dollop of sour cream, no cheese and a few pieces of sheeted lettuce, and no tomatoes. The queso was melted cheese w zero flavor and we only got a small bag of chips for 4 people! We ordered pork tamales and instead we got some sort of green pepper thing. NOT tamales at all. The rice and beans was something to be desired, and the enchilada sauce was super bland. Honestly sorry to say we spent 77$ on this food. Don't bother. Hit up Ramon's down the street. read more

Very good place to have lunch off the beaten path. I stopped here while passing through town on a road trip.

Well, Back on the road. Work has me in South Fork, Colorado this week. Checked Yelp as I always do and decided to try another local mom & pop. I try to stay away from chain restaurants cause I know what I'm getting there. So going by the 4 star rating I decided to give Los Chavalos a try. First, What they call Fajitas are probably just round steak or sirloin cut into little strips. True Fajitas are from a cut called skirt steak. I've included pics of what real Fajitas look like both Raw and cooked. Real beef skirt has ridges and looks like crepe paper. The meat I was served was tough and hard to chew. Real Fajitas are extremely tender. I would compare the meat they served me as The carne asada bowl from Chipotle. Let's move on to the Tortillas. Not homemade or fresh. These I could tell were packaged Tortillas that were just warmed up. The beans I can only assume were refried beans from a can. I'm from South Texas. We call it Tex-Mex but we take pride in what is served. The 4 Stars I'm sure are a result of the retired Caucasian clientele I watched walking in after me that probably came to this Ski Lodge town in an RV. So I can't even give this establishment a middle of the road rating so I'm giving Los Chavalos only 2 stars. read more

Really good food. However, I thought the prices were a little high. But the food is hot and fresh

One star is too much . Went to the bathroom and there was a mouse on the sink. Told the owner and she was like it's ok I'll get it in a few omg gross do not eat here!!! read more

We had just driven into South Fork and unpacked in our condo and were so hungry and didn't want to have to cook. We looked on yelp and found this Mexican food restaurant. It was very nice. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. It was family owned, and had a family atmosphere. read more

Just finished another delicious meal here. Love the salsa and the rice especially. The service was excellent as usual. Wish I could find out the history of the unique building, how it began as. I have only one complaint. I want my food warmer when served. I want the plate so hot that one cannot touch it with hot pads. I want the food to be so hot you have to blow on it before you put it in your mouth. At our next visit, I will make that request. read more

Went for breakfast, my friend and I ordered pancakes which they are now cooking in a mold or skillet and are at least an inch thick. My friend's was done but when I cut into mine the raw batter came gushing out. Gross! read more

My friend and I would come for lunch several times a month it was fabulous! Eva the manager and Sergio the chef were fantastic! Then we went back and Eva was gone, we thought just an extremely deserved day off since she would often open, serve and help in the kitchen when they were short staffed which was often, but we always had wonderful service. we ordered our meals when the chips and salsa arrived the chips were burnt, the salsa tasted like it was going bad, when our meals arrive they were horrible absolutely horrible! I couldn't eat mine. I asked the lil waitress that was almost in tears from other customers were blaming her for horrific food, if Sergio was the chef and she said no he's not. We tried again but it wasn't any better, asked about Eva and Sergio and we were told they left and no longer work there. Needless to say we won't go back ever and share with everyone about how horrific it is now. I would most certainly not recommend! I would actually give a negative rating but the lowest is a one star. read more

Great Food & Service ..... Much better choice than Ramon's in South Fork. Margaritas are great!

Absolutely delicious! Sad we visited for the first time on our last night in South Fork. I could eat here multiple times in a week for sure!

Delicious Mexican food. Traveling through town and stayed across the street from this restaurant. Decided to check it out and was amazed at the outstanding quality of the food. It is some of the best Mexican food I've had. Can't recommend enough. read more

This place is the best restaurant in Southfork. The drinks are amazing, food is unmatched, and service was very welcoming. All the workers were amazing and gave us everything we needed. Definitely stop by if you are in the area. read more

Do NOT bother. This place is awful! The queso was white and tasted like gravy with sour cream, sent back. The salsa is tomato purée with spice - not bad not good. The "whole" beans, as they called them, tasted canned, rice boiled to a soft mush, flattened Chile relleno, soft squishy churros, not crispy, and the $10 top shelf margarita? Can't even tell I had one! This place won't last long and it shouldn't! It's completely terrible! read more

We went twice this week and loved it both times! Our entire family thought it was incredible! And the Enchiladas Suizas were amazing!!

Wonderful authentic Mexican food. We had the green Chile pork, carne asada and enchiladas. All delicious! Great find in South Fork.

Phenomenal asada burrito! Salsa was exquisite, chips were always fresh. I highly recommend when visiting!

We stopped in for dinner and truly enjoyed our meal. Their tortillas are freshly made, salsa, queso, enchiladas, tacos, were all seasoned well and very tasty. The restaurant was very clean. The staff was very friendly and took very good care of us. Thanks for a great night of dining. read more

sorry, cannot tell you about the food or the drinks at this establishment. I can tell you that the service is horrible. I walked in and was seated quickly, I was given chips and salsa, which were very good. But after that, no other contact with a service staff. Waiter pass by my table at least a doze times in a half hour. He seemed courteous to the other guests, bringing their meals, drinks and replenishing their drinks. But never offered me a menu. Never asked if I wanted something to drink. Acted as if the table I was sitting at was empty. I did see three other servers working, so they were not short staffed. My suggestion is just like the waiter did pass it by. read more
