Now, I come here for the vibes and drinks. I love their margaritas. I would suggest getting a handmade margarita because it is superior to the others. Now, to the food because if you are going to drink, well, you will eat. The best thing to order when sharing is the Plato Don. If I am stopping in for a drink, I have the Guacamole. The only thing that I am not a fan of is the greasy tortillas. When the place is busy, the service is average, you get your food quickly, and you have to wait a bit before your waiter checks in to see how things are going.

*** 3.5 stars *** We came here after visiting the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and it was crazy fast. Despite a crowd, we got a table for two within minutes and our tacos also came out within minutes. The shrimp taco was okay (would pass next time) but the mole was great. Two were quite filling and a great deal at $5 and $6. Not the most authentic place, but it hit the spot!

I don't care for the tacos with shredded chicken no sliced lime on side no seasoning Would not buy it again happy hour margarita was nine dollars taste only like the margarita mix so I bought a regular margarita for price $14 should left with the one drink taste like grapefruit juice, service was good atmosphere was nice Very pricey$$$I don't mind paying for certain thing. Give me what I want.

I recommend the cocktails, but I think the restaurant has a small menu.

I do enjoy Chavelas, I have been coming here for a few years now. The food definitely used to be better before the remodel but the drinks make up for it. The cocktails are amazing and I highly recommend!! They also play great music!

A tad bit busy on a weekend night so we sat outside under the heat lamp. It was warm and toasted and the food came relatively quickly. Portions were good and service was friendly. Guac and chips was ok, I only little bits of appetizers, and the empanadas was niceeeeely done. Shrimp was good for me too. My boyfriend got the platter assemble your own tacos, and the tortillas was nice and homemade.
