Three tacos combo $13
Vijay C.

Been meaning to try this place since it rebranded after being something else a few months ago (Tijuana tacos or something like that). Finally dropped in on a Sunday. Decent parking in the lot Ample seating inside with two TVs Clean and bright Menu is pretty clear cut. I got the three tacos combo (carne asada). Was $13 and came with chips and beans. Solid meal, very filling, Wife got carne asada fries for $14.50. She enjoyed it saying it tasted fresh. Service was nice. Food came out quick enough. Pretty solid. 5/5

1 chorizo and 2 asada tacos
Jessy M.

I noticed that this fairly new taco shop was in the area, so I decided to check it out. Upon entering, the restaurant was clean, there were multiple tables to dine-in, and they also had a salsa bar, which I really appreciated. I ordered two asada tacos, and 1 chorizo taco. I also ordered a Mexican Coke. The tacos are $3 each, which is a bit higher than most other taco shops. I waited for about 15 minutes for my food to be ready. I went during the lunch rush, so I wasn't expecting my food to be ready right away. As for the service, it was good. I have no complaints about it. The tacos were not as good as some of the other Yelp reviews stated. The meats had some sort of sweet taste to them. I tried the salsa by itself to make sure that it wasn't the salsa. It definitely was not the salsa. The tacos were not terrible by any means, but they also were not the best. I did really enjoy their extra spicy salsa, though. I added lime to it for an extra zest. Overall, I had a mixed experience. The service was good, the restaurant was clean and organized, their salsa bar was a hit, but the tacos did not meet my expectations. I will give this restaurant a second chance in the near future. Until then, this rating suits my visit. Ratings: Service - 4/5 Ambiance - 4/5 Tacos - 3.5/5 Overall rating - 3.5/5

Lengua Nachos

These lengua nachos were fantastic. Absolutely loaded with tender lengua, cheese, avocado, crema, pico, jalapeños and toppings in basically every bite. The portion was huge, everything tasted fresh and they definitely did not skimp on anything. Easily some of the best nachos I've ever had. So happy I finally found my new go-to Mexican spot. I'll absolutely be back!

Chavela's Tacos is a new Mexican restaurant that has opened, on Devonshire, in Chatsworth. It replaces another similar ethnic eatery at the same location. There was attraction, big signs of the opening ...and balloons. Yes, it is in the SFV, so we must go, we must patronize ...and we must tell all our friends about it. Yes, but how was the food? The inside is simple, but well designed and soacious. There is enough seating, if you wish to dine in house. Inviting perfectly pitched Mexican music permeates the surroundings. I came there to get a carry out. Two Carne Asada tacos (comes with onions, cilantro and salsa, $6 for two), a small side order of refried beans ($5) and all the four complimentary salsas. The carne asada texture was a mix between very small steak chunks and ground beef. But tender and cooked well. The condiments married well. Refried beans, though seemed pricey, were delicious. All the four salsas were well concocted. Service was excellent.

They're seriously some of the best fries I've had--perfectly crispy, well seasoned, and incredibly addictive. Also, huge shoutout to Anthony, the manager.

I have carried life's burden and traveled continents, but one thing remains the same after my many moons of life, the taste of a Big Mac. The taste of a burger so consistent and familiar, that my tastebuds can traverse continents and taste fermented shark in the Netherlands, broiled Mackerel in Kyoto, or a cheeseburger in Reykjavik. The Big Mac stays the same. I went to LA to taste, apparently, the best burger in LA at For the Win. I paid $25 for two smash burgers and had high expectations. After all, when you click this joint on Google Maps, a fancy review pops up. Nice! However, when the smash burger entered my cave and caressed my buds, my mind instantly recognized it as a Big Mac. Therefore, my brain could hardly differentiate between a McDonalds burger, and the "best" burger in LA. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 14 years, but my mind still knew what a gentle and warm face looks like. So overall, it was alright! As the reverend Shane Gillis says "Not Bad". The service was good tho. And the ambiance was a bit weird because the music was off. Haha bye!!!

Fortunately we arrived just as it was opening, so we were able to secure seating--which is quite limited, especially inside. We were both of the mind that trying the Amboy classic was the right choice, so not much thought was put into other burger choices this time. I opted for the Double Smash Burger style, she tried a single. We also could not decide on one type of loaded fries, so we got one. An order of Chili Cheese Fries, and an order of amboy fries. The chili cheese fries are exactly what you would think they are. The amboy fries are a bit of a riff on animal fries but far better. The burgers looked great, the patties tasted great, everything was in great proportions on the Double, the single may have been a bit thin to carry sandwich. The sesame seeded bun was toasted to perfection a nice crunch to it. The chili had no beans as it should be and had a nice sweetness to the flavor. We were both satisfied immensely and we were also defeated by our French fries in the end.

Definitely an occasional craving kind of meal. The fries were standard, nothing particularly special. There was about a 10 minute wait to order because the staff had paused ordering to handle a larger order. Once we ordered, the food came out in another 10 minutes, so the wait wasn't bad at all. Indoor seating is limited, but there's also outdoor seating shared with other restaurants in the area. Worth a stop when you're in the mood for a good, indulgent burger!

This…read moreplace has amazing burgers when they actually follow the receipt and do what they're supposed to. However on more than one occasion they have failed to live up to that expectation. At first I thought it was a discrepancy on the sites I was using but their carelessness on their be half has continued to show. In my most recent experience it has led me to write this review. I came here on Sunday night after working a twelve hour day doing hair and ordered $63.94 worth of food. When I received my food I was given four burgers. I originally ordered 3. The young man at the counter was saying he didn't know why but I could have it and it was fine. After I received my food I went to the drink fountain which was completely overfilled and leaking on the floor as well as the drink counter space making the area look nasty and unkept. I notified the young black guy and he walked over and proceeded to clean it and I ordered my uber home. My uber was 37 dollars. When my uber driver asked me how I liked IRVS I ranted and raved with nothing but compliments expressing how pleasing their burgers are. When I arrive home I opened my food and my entire meal with the exception of one burger (which was messed up since they ran out of bacon) was wrong. Not to mention they upcharge for any little changes you make to your food so to get home and see my order was messed up had me extremely disappointed. When I went to call them nobody would pick up it's as though the phone was off the hook. Two people in my household said they'd make due with what they had and I'm sorry but my taste buds wanted my chili con carne ($4.55 up charge and my added grilled yellow peppers another upcharge) so I did uber back up there and at this point I am fuming. I asked for my money back and in an attempt to hurry up and get me out the facility I was given it back. However I also wanted my burger. I was still willing to pay however the Hispanic man with the stretchers in his ear thought it was cute to say I already gave you your money back and you didn't even bring all the food back. A part of me wanted to take the burgers and throw them at him but instead I looked laughed and said yeah I won't be ordering here anymore and proceeded to let the customers in line know they have a tendency of messing up orders and to be sure to double check their items. This location sucks as mentioned before they have messed up my order on a good amount of occasions and I just chunked it up to the fact that those times I was on a courier app but to have my food messed up and then they knew they messed up they tried to throw in a free burger to compensate is just trifling. I spent 70+ dollars just on ubering from there and back up there and they didn't even try to remake the burger is just crazy. I would've been okay even with a discount on making a new burger. Customer service is f***ing 0/10 . I should've known it was going to be a mess when they said they were out of bacon and when I looked at the disgusting soda machine. These fellas didn't care about customer retention or keeping loyal customers satisfied. Throw the whole crew away or at least get a better crew.

I think it was the Chinatown location that didn't work for them. However, the good news is that they do have three other locations and if you have never been, I suggest you check Kroft out if you love burgers, especially smashed. The other locations are in Long Beach, Anaheim, and Rancho Cucamonga. I wish them luck and I will definitely be stopping in their other locations if I am ever in the area.
