    Mexican Elote

    A little place tucked away in downtown. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced.

    Chata
    Mechelle S.

    I saw a picture of the chata online and knew I had to check it out. I got a plain chata and some nachos with beans and it was exactly what I needed. I love that their vegetarian offerings have actual vegetables on them

    Mexican arepa with Al pastor and chicken street taco
    Alejandro E.

    Holy moly. THIS IS the Mexican mom and pop Morgantown was waiting for. I myself am Cuban/Spanish decent and the flavors bring me back home. They were excellent. Of course they have their variety of tacos and burritos, but they actually have Mexican arepas and true dishes that are made at home by grandma. They truly brought a family recipe to the public. They quality is great. I got an arepa with Al pastor and it even had pineapple like it should! That, along with a street taco made my feel just full enough to be satisfied. Service was quick, ambiance is super relaxed. Great place to get a quick authentic bite. Definitely, 100% will be back.

    A gem in downtown Morgantown. The food is amazing and the employees are always super friendly!

    Pastor sopes and birriamen
    Rob W.

    Just left this new gem in Morgantown. We got a little bit of a lot of things and they were all excellent. The birriaramen was my favorite thing with the sopes a close second. My wife got the arepas and birria street taco. She loved them both. I hope this place has a long successful business in this town.

    Great food! Home cooked feel, family style. Loved the Vegetarian Tacos and guacamole! Seems like they just opened, but the flavor is on point

Here you can observe some of the local elites, tossing their blonde fake tresses and drinking expensive champagne while making sure everyone sees their brand spanking new Louis Vuittons and huge bosoms, and then there is the much more subtle and respectable old money clientele with their exquisite tailoring, indulging in one of the lovely Cabernets served here. And the Cabernet is lovely. The escargot is glorious, it is served with a little toasty roll that you use to dip up that glorious garlic sauce in the serving dish. I had the dover sole, which was straight in from, you guessed it, Dover! ;' ) I had it with fresh broccolini and parmesan risotto. G had sea bass with lobster risotto. Both dishes were cooked beautifully, the fish is flaky and light and the risotto were perfect. Our server Cody, who is absolutely wonderful by the way, tried to tempt us with desserts (one of which was a caramel hot lava cake!) but we were so full from dinner that we had to decline. Next time perhaps. And there will be a next time. PS: this is not the sort of place where you're going to whip out your phone and start photographing everything. Hence the lack of photos.

Shortly after our waitress stopped by for drink orders and another large group of women were seated right next to us. We could barely hear each other. The entire rest of the room was empty! But they got seated less than 2 feet away. I know they were having a good time, us, not so much. Hostess tip: in this type of instance don't stack people on top of each other. There was plenty of space to spread us out. We ordered appetizers and dinners. appetizers were delicious: peel n eat shrimp, spinach artichoke dip and calamari (my grandson wanted it!) Dinners ordered: Beef Wellington, salmon (ordered blackened), Cajun chicken Alfredo, child's beef tips and chicken basket. All the dinners were great, as well as the asparagus, BUT, the salads greens were brown. I even pointed it out to the waitress, but they didn't seem very concerned. I even thought they might offer a small discount, it was that bad. For the five dinner with tip was over $225. You certainly can eat for less, beef Wellington alone was $50. All in all, beautiful setting, cozy dining room. Friendly staff. We will go back sometime.

Started off with mussels which had a fowl odor and tasted sour. It was not the broth or spices, it was more of an expired fishy taste. I got the "american waygu" steak feature. It came out raw on the inside and burnt on the outside. There was no coffee rub taste on the outside. The meat was very hard to chew. I ended up choking on a piece and pulling it out of my throat in a string of meat. The zucchini was under cooked. The mashed potatoes were good and authentic. The crab cake was pretty good too. I liked the buttery flavor of the crab. For dessert we did a coffee mousse that did not disappoint. The atmosphere was very loud. It was hard to talk to the people in our party of 3 as there isnt much in the restaurant to absorb sound. The bartender was very friendly and good at making cocktails. Bathrooms were not clean.

It's a very relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. However, the food was mid. They've got burgers and pizza and sandwiches, which make up most of the menu, but they also have seafood and pasta dishes. I got the pulled pork sandwich, and it was super sweet. Way too sweet! And it was topped with shredded cheese that I could tell was pre-shredded and came from a bag. The fries that came with my sandwich were super seasoned. Way too seasoned! Everything about my meal was "way too." We also got the WV Wedge salad, which apparently is one of their specialties. It was aiight. Instead of bleu cheese like a typical wedge, this one came with both ranch and Italian dressing, plus pieces of steak. My kids enjoyed their grilled cheese sandwiches and cheeseburgers from the kids' menu. One thing that's interesting about the kids' menu here is that steak is an option! (Well, steak tips.) We visited Dockside in the offseason, but apparently this place gets extremely busy during the summer, when everyone wants to be on the lake.

It looked and tasted like a single slice of Kraft provolone. The pasta came with a salad that was served on a tiny bread plate, you know, one of those that holds a little roll when used properly. All in all, terrible value. Won't be going back. The photos say it all.
