Taqueria El Chavo Inc - Sarasota County

I had hope in this place due to some other reviews. I'm from San Diego so I've always been surrounded with amazing Mexican food and that's all I really eat. I ordered a few quesabirria tacos with consomé. Way over priced for the size and quality. And the consomé was just oil and cilantro you so you can't really taste it, it's just wet. The birria itself was ok but that's about it. I'll give this place another shot in the future. But definitely not on my list of go to places.

Best street tacos in Venice! Excellent and fast service too! Highly recommend checking out this spot!

I’ve been craving a taco salad for a few days and I enjoyed one tonight. Taqueria el Chavo,the hole in the wall near Yummy’s donuts was a Mexican place I had not tried. The fried tortilla bowl was perfect. Ground beef, rice beans, lettuce, sour cream, pico, guacamole was fresh and properly portioned. It was attractive and delicious. I can’t wait to try some other selections. Highly recommend! It was also the best price. There is a picture of the LAST SUPPER on the wall too. I’m FULL.

Small friendly authentic great prices great food . We had enchiladas supremas and a variety of tacos .It’s low key and casual.Flavorful.

Many times a restaurant that isn’t the prettiest on the outside turns out to have the most amazing and memorable food. It’s a typical hole-in-the-wall story, but Taqueria El Chavo did not suffice to this title.As fun as well-decorated businesses are, I don’t try to judge them based on that. If I did, this place would quickly have lost all interest. It was barren and pretty dirty, and the lighting was pretty dark.We sat down and it took quite awhile to be served. The waitress really acted like she didn’t want to be there nor serve us. All of it was honestly pretty painful.I ordered a special burrito, and I have to say it was actually really good! It was juicy and full of veggies, rice, and protein just the right amount. I must have chosen the perfect plate, because none of the rest of the 9-10 people in my group had a whole lot to say about their dishes. They said it was okay but not too great. So overall it’s definitely a middle of the road experience.
