- EchoDAFebruary 15, 2012Looking for Tacos? This tiny restauran is great, and they prepare an excellent sangria! Be prepared to stay in line, though....
Avery GreenDecember 9, 2014Make sure the waitress tell you that things like lemon slices & salsa are extra. Love the place but the server we had wasn't on her A game.
Ariane RinehartAugust 24, 2016LOVE Chavela's. Great food, great prices. Delicious sangria (and the half sangria, half marg 😍)
John AbrahamsJanuary 19, 2014Get here early for brunch: place fills up quickly, even though it seats about 50.
Ken Pierre IIAugust 7, 2014This happy hour setting is unmatched! Great atmosphere with great friends
Victoria LambinoJanuary 21, 2014Happy hour at Chavela's is amazing $2 tacos/$3 beers! And the Guac is perfection.
Hill EstateJune 11, 2015Sangrias are wonderful, and everything I have ever ordered from here is amazing.
Martin BringmannApril 27, 2018Margaritas and enchiladas were super good. Great atmosphere and service, too.
Kam PerezOctober 7, 2018The tortilla soup is basically a liquefied enchilada verde. Trust me, that is a good thing.
Mandy WellsJune 4, 2013Oh, the michaelada tastes like rock, roll and bad decision-making skills. So delicious.
Lunch specials before 4pm. Cheap and delicious. Sangria's are frickin amazin'. Try the red.
Santi AmayaSeptember 22, 2015The pitcher or half-margarita/half sangria are nothing to get too excited about... Not worth the higher price point. All the tacos on the menu are incredible!- Never ever ever come here on a Saturday night unless you want to wait 1.5 hours. Stick to weeknights & brunch or just order delivery. Fortunately the food and cocktails are well worth a long wait.
M GonzalezDecember 4, 2018Make a reservation if you’re eating on the weekend. Brunch menu is where it’s at.
I recently went to Jean Georges. I liked this better. And I liked Jean Georges a whole lot.
Great food and ambiance, but the service is aloof at best. More interested in hanging out with each other than taking care of the guest...
Even better than the old location! Guac, Mexican corn on the cob, and chorizo-potato tacos are all AMAZING.
Chips are large and circular. Put them on your plate and poke em apart with your finger
The fish tacos are great. Stay away from the beef ones though. Not a fan of their "quesadilla".
DDogJuly 8, 2012Everything else on the brunch menu is great too, but the bacon is just the way I like it.
Since I've left Cali, this has been my go to spot for on point mexican food! Tacos are hella good!
DianaAugust 16, 2012Get the Camenchana for a drink! Sangria and Margarita mixed together! Delicious!
Christen DuongJanuary 3, 2012Pescado Californian style tacos are awesome. Great service and ambiance too.

"Cocktails (whisky recommended) are great, backyard is excellent. Don't even look at the menu. Just go up and ask the sandwich man what to eat."
Julie McMahon - 8.6
"Quite frankly, it's my new favorite spot. Enjoy a eclectic mix of people, drink a great selection of beer and if you want, check out Dutch Boy Burger next door for their lamb burgers. Delicious!"
