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 absolutely delicious. For the main We ordered the Don Plato which comes with chicken and steak and my husband got the short ribs with mole sauce. Both did not disappoint. Definitely will be coming back for the excellent service and food. Drinks were also very good. I ordered the strawberry margarita.

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.

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 return here regularly

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. The second visit was for brunch/lunch. I was surprised how packed the place was; good for indoor and outdoor dining, but the outdoor was enclosed, which I don't mind since it was cold out. I had this non-egg platter (vegetarian) and it was delicious. Very appealing to the eyes and taste buds. The drink I ordered was strong, but perhaps my selection wasn't to my liking although it was recommended. I would come back here.

Yes. They have high chairs and the servers are very friendly. They don't have a kids menu but there are items and sides on the menu that should hopefully work out for you.

With a name like Chavaleh's it sounds like it's Jewish owned, but I didn't see anywhere anything saying it's a kosher restaurant. Is it kosher?

Chavela is the way you call the woman that is named Isabel or Isabella
