Reviews for Chavela's in Brooklyn, NY
Food was amazing. The wait time was about 30-40 mins (we did not have reservations). It was pretty busy on a Saturday around... 630pm. They have outdoor seating. My group sat inside. We order the corn & guacamole for appetizers. Both were absolutelydelicious. For the main We ordered the Don Plato which comes with chicken and steak and my husband got the short ribs with molesauce. Both did not disappoint. Definitely will be coming back for the excellent service and food. Drinks were also very good. Iordered the strawberry margarita. Read more
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 arestaurant. Read more
Chavela's was amazing! From the moment we walked in the staff was super friendly and professional. We had about 8 people in our... party but didn't have to wait for more than 5 minutes to get a table. The drinks were made just right (I had a strawberrymargarita). The food was exceptional! Definitely more of an adult dining experience though. We had 2 girls (10 years old) withus and they didn't seem too excited about anything on the menu. We ended up getting them french toast and quesadillas which theydid enjoy. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. Would def go back again. Read more
If you live in Brooklyn you don?t need to go too far for some good Mexican food. Chavela?s is located in crown heights and... easily accessible by bus or train. It has become on of my go to places when I need a good meal. There is happy hour from 4-7Monday through Thursday and prices of the the food are pretty reasonable. Depending on the day it can get pretty crowded by thewait is never unbearable. I always start off with the $4 tacos. I tried the Bistec tacos and they were so good, I love that thetortillas were doubled because sometimes the filling of the tacos can make the tortilla soggy. Drinks are pretty good BUT theheight of my meal was the Mole! The give you so much food for only $17. The mole was flavorful, they also include rice and beanas a side and tortillas just in case you want to use that to create mole tacos instead. I will def be coming back and youshould check them out next time you?re in crown heights. Read more
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 wasserved with given the bones were easily pulled of the bone. the shrimp dish was solid as well. i also got pretty messed up fromjust one sangria/ marg mix. will def return here regularly Read more
This was my second time coming here. The first was for dinner and we dined indoors. The ambiance was nice. I like the decor and... the intricate look of the ceilings. The food was tasty. I had enchiladas which was a good portion. The drink tasted strong. Thesecond visit was for brunch/lunch. I was surprised how packed the place was; good for indoor and outdoor dining, but the outdoorwas enclosed, which I don't mind since it was cold out. I had this non-egg platter (vegetarian) and it was delicious. Veryappealing to the eyes and taste buds. The drink I ordered was strong, but perhaps my selection wasn't to my liking although itwas recommended. I would come back here. Read more
I only comment when I am extremely pleased with a place. This place came highly recommended and did not disappoint. I had... guacamole as a starter, chicken flautas as my main course, and the flan as dessert. I also enjoyed 2 delicious margaritas onice. Everthing I had was absolutely delicious. The ambience is very lively, so I enjoyed that as well. The staff was top notchas well, very attentive and did not miss a beat. I look forward to going back! Read more
