What People Are Saying About El Chavo

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – Neon-lit sombreros hang above the bar in this Mayan-themed dining room. Neighborhood regulars come for the serenades as well as the food. The menu makes few concessions to north of the border tastes. Instead of nachos and quesadillas, the kitchen churns out house specialties that include thin steaks, chicken enchiladas verdes and sweet and buttery green-corn tamales.

Manager Called Police.

by paynie at Citysearch

Chips were stale. Margs were poor. Salad was terrible. We asked politely to speak to the manager. He was a rude idiot. Refused to knock ANYTHING off the bill and called the police. We walked out and he followed us back to our car. If he had taken $10 of the bill, we'd have been happy, but he got nothing. The place will close within a year and that's a shame, because I've been there 50+ times and always liked it .... until last night.

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Awful new management.

EL CHAVO WTF HAPPEN>> ?!? I LOVE IT..!!

by mariebitch at Citysearch

Got to give it up for El Chavo, still the best place in town. If you want to bring a date, nice and dark, very romantic. Super cheap, with 3 dollar margaritas. 3 dollar tacos, way better then the tacos at Yuca's. Best mexican food over all. The restaurant has been there for over 40 years. Obviously there doing something right. Give El Chavo a try you wount be disappointed. Ive been going to El Chavo, for over 20 years. The guy's that work there make you feel like family.. Got to love that..

  • Pros: Best margaritas in town.
  • Cons: You'll keep coming back.
