Food was very good. They have pretty much what you'd expect on their menu. The decor is not typical Mexican restaurant, but who cares? Haha! The restaurant was clean. They weren't too busy when we were there for lunch, so I hope they are getting business. It's in the neighborhood, so we'll return! If you're paying cash, double check your change. We received the "credit" amount in change after paying cash, and it wasn't easy getting that resolved. The bill has both amounts.

This place is kind of hidden at the end of a strip mall on Telegraph. It's not decorated with the typical cheesy Mexican restaurant decor. It's just kind of plain Jane, which was fine with me. I got the Burrito Suizo with grilled chicken. It was very flavorful and had grilled onions in it. My wife had the Pollo con Arros. It came with delicious broccoli and cauliflower. The service was very good!! Definitely worth a try. Do it!!

First off the atmosphere was close to a sports bar not a Mexican restaurant. Service was great they were on top of it. Margaritas was basic tasted like sour mix with tequila. They need a better selection. food was ok. I had the steak ranchero hear me and my wife had the shrimp chimichanga. I have included pictures. The food was flavorful and was affordable.

I wasn't super hungry so we got chips and salsa and guacamole to share and my friend got the chicken fajita. The salsa comes with two different salsa options, both were a bit spicy. The guacamole was classic and came out with a cute serving spoon. They had lots of food options but it's a bit more expensive than most Mexican spots in the city. I think my friend was a little disappointed that there was an up charge to add vegetables to her fajita and the portion wasn't as big as she thought it might for a $20 plate, but it tasted good. Super nice service and cute on the inside. They have a back patio that's very big and heated. Street parking.

I started with the most delicious Ultimate Margarita and enjoyed the Arroyo steak fajita burrito....oh my goodness! Others in my party shares the Steak Fajitas and my daughter went to the 7th level of delight as she drank the airfoam Margarita! Complimentary birthday shots were the icing on the cake. We love sitting out on Arzola's large covered patio and a well placed heater as it was a tad chilly. Great atmosphere, great service and even better food and drink.

I usually end up parking on the street right around the restaurant. The restaurant is casual, yet nicely decorated. The wood accents bring a homey feel to the space, while still emphasizing Mexican culture. After being seated with my friend, we were brought chips and salsa. The chips were warm and fresh, and the salsa was chunky and spicy. Our server was so friendly, and we had excellent service. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Quesadilla. It was delectable! The smoky flavor, tender and juicy chicken, and the nicely-sized portion made this an excellent meal. For dessert, we ordered the Churros. And wow! They were warm, sugary, and filled with gooey cream cheese! The Dutch chocolate on the side was such a complimentary touch. I am excited to come ba

My wife loved her tostada and my fajitas were good...not great. The chicken seemed to not have a lot of flavor. The Margarita's on the ricks were good...again, not great. What is odd it that I was charged for Vegetarian Fajitas as well. I did not look at my receipt until I was 2,000 miles away. The Manager of Chavas credited my Visa was he informed of the issue. Again, Maricela was key in rectifying the issue. Chavas was very good and we would return if in the area.

I wasn't a huge fan of the salsa but it filled me up and was tasty enough. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful! You can see there is so much culture in this place and the staff was super friendly. I saw some other people having issues with staff but that wasn't my experience. DOWNSIDE they don't currently have their liquor license . I don't know what the issue is and quite frankly it was a bummer. That's the only reason I gave them a 4 . The food was so good I honestly didn't mind too much though. Had an amazing time. 100% recommend.

I am assuming the heat inside was why there were grease/sweat patches on the edge of the table I was seated on. The birria tacos were very average, the rice that came with it was absolutely bland and the pastor enchiladas were alright but the meat was mostly charred. The horchata was so dilute, I couldn't taste anything. The only saving grace were the chips and salsa - especially the salsa. Overall, this is a pretty overpriced place for below average food.
