The horchata was the best I've had in this area! The Birra was tender and so flavorful. My husband loved his flautas! Leo, the owner, was there and he was super kind.

They mole was good and not what I have had at other restaurants back home, but good. Although my order was not correct they did offer to replace it, but I felt bad so I did not have them re do it. The Chile rellenos did not come as a whole pepper but diced so I got to have more chips. My friend had the Pollo asado, (seen in picture) that looked amazing and he said it was great. Saving the best for last, the margaritas. They were very sneaky. Very limey and packed a punch.

I'm a bit picky with my salsa & think it could've been just a touch hotter, but the flavor was still soooo good! And our food was delicious! I got an enchilada & burrito combo with beans & rice. The rice was a bit plain but still good, the beans and burrito were both awesome, and the enchilada was aaaamaaaaazing! We're only in town for a few days to visit family, but this place is definitely on our list to return to when we're in the area again!

This is the best Mexican you're going to find around Elgin, seriously dont waste time anywhere…read moreelse. This is NOT a chain, so you're getting some of the best home-cooked food. The staff and owners are AWSOME!! Super friendly, pleasantly attentive, and people who will remember you with a smile the next time you come in. Chavelas has it's own private parking along the side of their building. They offer limited seating outdoor (which is covered) and ample seating indoor with both booth, tabletop, and Bartop options. It's football season, but dont worry as Chavelas has several T.V.'s for your viewing pleasure throughout the restaraunt and at the bar. The restaraunt is always clean which is one thing I always admire about here, they truly care at Chavella's. Lets talk food!! Today I ordered the Chavella's Special which is "a little bit of everything"; absolutely hit the spot!! The menu has all your favorites and some new ones you didn't know about, but be sure to look at the "Specials board" at the front as you walk in. Chavella's offers your normal fountain drinks, Jarritos (my favorite), Horchata, and many others. The full bar can bring a smile as well whether it's a beer, Michelangelo, or their own Sangria!!! If you are loving the fall weather and are looking for soup try their Carne En Su Jugo, it's one of their specials and for a great reason. Ask for their "House hot sauce" if you want a bit more Ying; it's soooooooo goooooooooood and not overbearing. If you make it into South Carolina, and find yourself close to Elgin, be sure to make Chavella's one of your planned stops.

As I walked in I noticed a bar area to the left which had a little crowd in it (big night for sports on tv). I sat at my table and was quickly brought chips and salsa. Average for both. Interesting that there wasn't any salt or hotter sauce on the table. Had to ask for it. I ordered my typical "new Mexican restaurant"meal of a taco/enchilada/chili rellano. This plate is what I compare all Mexican restaurants by. First flaw was that they only had ground beef or chicken. Better Mexican restaurants have multiple choices for these. The taco came out with ground beef, some lettuce and cheese. It tasted fine. The enchilada was basically ground beef wrapped in a corn tortilla with some sauce on it. Again, just ok. For some reason Carolinians think a chili rellano is beef and melted cheese with a small portion of a pepper mixed in. This is far from what I am expecting. I would say the food was ok but not on my "must try again" list. Honestly if it wasn't for just enjoying sitting in there after a long day I'd just assume be eating Taco Bell. The margarita here was good and that helped!
