“Food was amazing, tables were a bit small. The open kitchen view is great so you know the food is made fresh. Chavas Tacos also has restaurant parking in the rear”
“Very pleasant the food was good service was great . Sat at the bar we had a good experience u will be back .”
“😋 24hr tacos!!! ...and they're sooooo good! First timer and went for 3 - steak, al pastor, and shrimp. Quick service, too! Already thinking of going back.”
“Open 24 hours, this is a greasy spoon live of place with friendly and quick service. Dining area is pretty limited seating wise and there is no bathroom. Food we got was pretty good, nothing amazing, but the price and potion size were excellent. Definitely worth going to if you're out late or up early.”
“If you’re looking for cheap but tasty Mexican food, Chavas is the spot. My steak burrito was a great size and came with beans and rice for about $20. My wife got the taco dinner with three different kinds (chicken, tongue, pork) and they were all great. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Food came out quick and was excellent, highly recommend for a quick bite!”
“Staff is always polite, somewhat pricey but Food is good. No parking out front, but there's a huge parking lot on the side of the building”
“Got a late night tostada with spicy pastor this weekend. Super stacked for around $6. Great price for some of the best Mexican in the city. I used to be a regular here when I worked in the area. Quality is still top notch, service is still quick and friendly, and the food hot and spicy just right as always.”
“They kinda taste like pacos tacos even the layout of the restaurants looks like it but they were good”
“Back in the day I loved these tacos. Now they are just over priced and not good. I got steak tacos the meet was hard, the beans were disgusting, and the rice was okay. The horchata is amazing. I wouldn’t go back they just aren’t the same. Well I would go back for horchata. Not saying don’t go here but it just wasn’t good to me.”
“I'm addicted to the tacos!!🌮 They are open 24 hours which is so great! My work schedule is crazy & it's so nice to have something I actually enjoy that's open all night.🌜 These days those options are limited. No matter what time of day though, these are the best tacos around! You can see them preparing your food & it is always clean & always fresh!✨ Staff is doing a great job!! If you don't check it out, you're missing out! 🔥🔥🔥”
