    Taco Dorado con Carne
    Jennifer F.

    This has been one of my favorite places to eat at since I was a little kid. The service is always amazing and what other place will the owner come and ask if you need anything else; have nothing to complain about in this department. The food also speaks for itself. Always amazing and delicious and I have yet to find any other place that matches the taste! The restaurant gives off a 50s burger shack vibe and is decorated with pictures of the many famous people the owner has met- love looking at them all while eating. There's plenty of parking but it will get full so come at a good time!! I will always come back to Chagos and recommend others to try it as well.

    Torta ahogada de Pollo

    My trip to Chago has been overdue for at least 7 years. I finally drove by and decided to pick a torta ahogada for lunch and I was NOT dissapointe. The taste of this torta was out of this world. What I loved most about this place is the 1950's diner vibe. We had to wait a few minutes outside but they found us a table fairly quickly, and we got our food relatively quick too. They serve u in a dish that prevents the soup of spilling yet its not quite a soup bowl. Pretty unique if you ask me. 10/10.

    I'm not sure what the hype is on the tortas. Maybe it's all about the vibe, as it is chill, but flavors are definitely lacking... So here we go with my breakdown... I can see why the place might be popular. The decor and the vibe are chill. The patio looks like it would be fun to hang out in (tho it wasn't open during our visit). The interior dining area has booth seating with a juke box and gumball machine, and there are lots of pictures with celebrities that have visited the place. We ordered the carnitas and chicken tortas and potato and bean crispy tacos. The bread was definitely hard and chewy even after soaking. The tortilla and the stuffing used for the tacos were definitely different; the tortilla was thick, and I'm not really sure what the stuffing mix was as it tasted more like masa and not potatoes. The sauce was odd tasting. It tasted too much like cloves and a bit sweet (weird and not to my liking), but the spicy sauce was good and spicy. The carnitas meat was too dry and lacking flavor, but the chicken was really good. Our server was attentive and friendly. They have their own parking lot, which is not too big, and when the place closes at 6, they close the gates to the parking too. Overall, I wouldn't eat here again as the flavors were not to my liking (nor the people i was with).... way too many cloves in that sauce and bread is too hard!

    El mejor lugar para tortas ahogadas o tacos dorados el mejor sabor que e comido y e tratado varios lugares de torras ahogadas pero no hay como este lugar .don chago es una persona muy atenta y siempre esta hay para asegurar que to este bien y no se diga moka siempre es muy atenta y se asegura que todo este bien te ase sentir como en casa esta no es la primera vez que vengo ya somos regulares aquí pero siempre se me olvida dejar review todo el staff es muy amable y rápido. Lo único que puedo recomendar es que llegues temprano pero prepárate para esperar especialmente los fines de semana la espera puede ser asta una hora pero una vez sentado la comida sale rápido y les recomiendo las micheladas muy buenas también todo muy rico la verdad recomendado

    Best Tortas in town! I had a torta mixta and two frijol tacos! The torta was delicious and flavorful. The tacos packed a lot of flavor too! I'll definitely come back for more! Good food, good service and reasonable prices! I highly recommend this establishment!

    HIGHLY recommend getting the chile on the side. If you aren't aware, tortas ahogadas are meant to be extremely spicy, so if you're not use to super spicy food you can still enjoy this meal with the chile on the side to tailor to your spice level. The torta was great, the tacos were okay. The staff was very friendly and inside has only a few booths. When we went the outside seating was closed, but it's super spacious on their patio.

    Is this place open?

    Yes it's open..I went like 3 weeks ago.

    Are they reopened yet?

    I passed by on Monday the 25th and it was still closed. From what I observed it looks like they are getting ready to open soon. Hopefully.....

    Ya está abierto?

    No todavia esta cerado .

    Does anyone know why they closed. Been hearing it will reopen and they still haven't open it?

    They had a kitchen fire, I still don't know if it's open or not. I try calling both numbers with no luck.

    Do the Tortas taste like in Mexico?

    Yes! The closest thing you will get without a passport. And I lived in Guadalajara for 15 years

I only get the asada and pollo because those are my favorites but honestly have never been done dirty by them Asada-- nice and juicy, steak done right Pollo-- I only order chicken here because it's so well seasoned and never everrrrr dry!! The guacamole is also amazing they chop it up and make it right there for you. It's not just sitting there waiting to be scooped, they make it to order!! And you can custom too ask for extra spicy and they'll put in more chilies They have green/red salsa options but just TRUST ME and get the red salsa!! It's deep and bold and spicy in a way that actually hits. Not watery, not bland, not tomatoey... just good spice!! And it's actually spicy which is rare now I think!! Perfect for me but yall try it at your own risk (but I swear it's so, soooooo good) There's a line sometimes but it's worth it!! Parking is easy (decent size lot or street parking if it's full) and there's an outside patio if you want to eat there.

They went all out for her birthday and they also worked with us to make sure that her birthday cake was brought out during the happy birthday song! Our server cracked jokes the entire night and made sure we got sauces and water whenever we needed. As for the food, we started with the Kala Sampler, which has asada nacho bites, chicken buffalo wings, potato and chicken tinga, and taquito dorados. The Kala Sampler is good for four people so order accordingly if you have a bigger party. My hubby and I shared the parillada, which had multiple meats that can be put into either a corn or flour tortilla along with rice and beans. For meat, we had marinated steak, chicken breast, seasoned shrimp, cactus, and chorizo. My favorite was the seasoned shrimp. The steak felt dry to me but everything was still good and flavorful with the molcajete salsa, which tasted like sweet tomato. We were not able to finish and had to take most of this home because the portions are just that generous! All this for the price of $55 for the parillada. They also offer this service where they take a complimentary group photo and they print other individual and couple photos for sale. I never understood the business model of these services but at least you get a complimentary photo with the Kalaveras logo!

Whiskil Taco is a dream for veggie lovers -- sweet, tender squash wrapped in a creamy, nutty sauce that feels both comforting and fresh at the same time. Mixta Taco stands out with its sausage and avocado combo -- rich, savory, and satisfyingly balanced. Taco de Chicharrón brings a fun textural contrast: crunchy, savory chicharrón paired with fresh, vibrant pico de gallo that keeps it lively. And the Pork Belly Cochinita Pibil? A showstopper. The generous slab of pork belly is smoky, buttery-tender, and practically melts into each bite -- deeply flavorful and indulgent in the best way. If you're looking to try a spread that hits creamy, crunchy, fresh, smoky, and sweet all in one sitting, this lineup absolutely delivers.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.
