Contribute Feedback What Massimo Setzu likes about Chavela's:
really liked this spot, it seems like a local institution and it doesn't fall short. the guac wasn't over seasoned which can be the case in a lot of places, the mole tasted a bit close to burned but i thought it made a great taco with the tortillas it was served with given the bones were easily pulled of the bone. the shrimp dish was solid as well. i also got pretty messed up from just one sangria/ marg mix. will def...

What Hollis Koepp doesn't like about Chavela's:
This place is really cool and the staff is friendly but I had to give 2 stars because of what I found in my plate: the egg shell.I mean…really?!I loved the strong margarita and the plate was great overall…but something like that I’ve never seen in a restaurant. View all feedback.
The ambiance of Chavela's pushed it to 4 stars for me. It had nice decorations and isn't too loud or dim for my taste. I went with a group of friends for...
The drinks were cool. Food was pretty good. Will definitely return to try a few of the other drinks. I had the Pescadilla which was cool.
I used to love visiting Chavela's when I lived in the neighborhood. Over the course of the pandemic, the food has lost its authenticity and service lacks....
D e l i c i o u s! we all know that it is very hard to find good Mexican food outside mexicos (and especially in nyc), but Chavela’s were able to give us a real Mexican experience. everything was on the spot! chips and salsa, enchiladas and churros at the end were absolutely fantastic. in any case recommend!
Spontaneously went with friends to this place for eating and drinking and it was not disappointed! happy hour was lit cuz they get $1 off tacos and the drinks were also cheap. I had a regular margarita (sometimes was so loose with this I personally did not like it all others) and then it had mi poli a tamarinde and Mezcal drink and that was delicious. for tacos we had the bark, huh and fish. bark and chicken were on the dryer chewier side, but the fish was amazing. it was so tasteful and juicy, but had a nice crunch. the hot sauce they offer paired super good with everything not only a thing in special, but it is very sharp! friends who had the enchiladas (cheese) said it was delicious and completely wiped the plate clean. I also appreciate the management that allowed us to sit even though a member of our party lacked!
