Chavelas Restaurant is an authentic Mexican restaurant, and though it looks small and casual, its dishes are packed with lots of flavor. Each meal starts with their handmade chips and salsa, but the rest of the menu features classic burritos and tacos, platters of Mexican specialties and sides like rice, refried beans, fresh avocado, and sour cream.

If you're looking to add something special to your meal, order a cold, refreshing michelada. Next, choose between popular dishes like carne asada and camerones rancheros, or if you stop in for breakfast, explore the egg dishes like huevos rancheros and breakfast burritos (served all day long). With large, affordable portions and fresh, healthy ingredients, it's no wonder why Chavelas Restaurant is a favorite among locals.
