If you're in the mood for Mexican food that hits different than what you're used to, you'll find it here. They put their own unique flair on everything from the salsas to the drinks to the burritos. My all time fave is the mission burrito, packed with healthy ingredients but loaded with flavor and sauces. It's delicious! It's a fun atmosphere and all the servers we've had have been super nice and helpful. They also offer a convenient lane outside for takeout so you don't even need to leave your car.

I'm very sad to leave this negative review. I really like Chavez but I seem to like it less and…read moreless these days. The last few times we went the service has been bad. Very, very slow, forgotten entrees and drinks. I even told a friend she must go try Chavez and she. She finally did she told me she would not go back. She said her food was bland and the server seemed angry and kept slamming stuff. However, the experience that bothered we the most was about a week ago. We went there with a family from Denmark. They were excited to try Mexican food. I ordered the BBQ quesadillas and so did one of the Danes sitting directly across from me. My husband also ordered a dish with shredded pork. Part way through eating my quesadillas I felt a very large bone in my mouth. Not the kind you could even swallow by accident. I had to very discretely spit it into my napkin because I didn't want the person eating the same dish to get grossed and a ruin their experience. I'm just really glad it wasn't in her dish. When we went home I told my husband about the bone and he said he actually had a bone in his shredded pork as well. This is not something I can overlook, so I will definitely not order that dish ever again. I will likely stick to cheese quesadillas there in the future. Places need to be more careful with the quality and preparation and their meat. Also, the service really needs improvement at this point.

The cuk marg had about 6 fruit flies the calhamamango tasted like mango tomato soup but the watermelon marg was okay. The food, we ordered cheese dip, a seafood chimichanga and Texana (3 meat) fajitas. The chimichanga was mid. The fajitas had shrimp and beef but they boy 3 pieces of chicken. The best part of the fajitas were the onions and peppers. The beans and rice both tasted microwaved and from 4 days ago. It was awful! And finally the service. Meh, let's go with if I can't say anything nice I shouldn't say anything. So we will leave that right there. The food runner/ bus person was a better server. And I foresee this business shutting down in 6 months. On a side note it was not busy at all. They should definitely spend some time cleaning!

I remember when this was a fast food joint, but the interior now is totally different. We were impressed with the change. We were able to be seated quickly. For a Sunday it was pretty busy. They've several TVs around the restaurant so you can watch while eating. The menu is pretty extensive and has something for everyone. Lucky us, they had 5 dollar jumbo lime margaritas and 10 dollar fajitas for their specials that night. We were like sold! The husband saw queso and chips on the menu... needless to say we ordered it ASAP. The queso was pretty damn good. Not bland nor was it watery. Very addicting!! The jumbo frozen margaritas were strong and hit the spot. If I weren't driving, I would've had at least 1 or 2 more. Next time tho!! The chicken fajitas were massive. We honestly expected small portions considering it was the special. It was huge! The fajitas were outstanding. Lots of flavors and super tender. My mom and husband finished theirs. I only had room for half of it. Gotta save room for dessert!! The churro dessert we ordered was to die for. The dessert came in a huge cup with ice cream topped with caramel along with 4 churros. We all inhaled that dessert!! We left full and happy. Great spot overall! Great service and food. Definitely coming back next time I am in town.

While driving back to the Twin Cities from Chicago a few weeks back we needed a place to stop for…read morelunch. I opened up Yelp and found this little taqueria in the cute downtown of Belvedere so we decided to stop here. The inside definitely makes you feel like you're at a family owned restaurant. It reminds me of all of the pizzerias I went to as a kid in New York. The staff are all incredibly friend and funny and were cracking jokes the whole time to our table. They offer a wide selection of Mexican specialties from some of the more common ones to some of the harder to find ones. Lately, I've been on a Gordita kick so I ordered the Gordita dinner. The rice and beans were so good, and the fresh tortillas, along with the beautiful meat inside were all perfect. I wasn't expecting to have such incredible Mexican in this part of the US, but I need to reassess my biased because this was fantastic. Highly recommend!
