Amazing spot for Mexican food in the valley, and with super friendly staff as well. Would highly…read morerecommend! I came for lunch Friday afternoon around noon with 3 others and it was pretty busy as it was peak lunch time. You can tell it's a popular spot. You order at the counter first and then get a spot. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but it was super windy the day we came, so no one was sitting outside. I got the Alex burrito without cheese and sour cream for $13.25. Asked for a recommendation for the meat and was told their al pastor is really good, so I went with that. I liked that they call you as they're making your burrito, so you can customize it further (which kind of salsa, onions and cilantro, do you want it cut in half, etc.). As a picky eater, I really appreciated that. We all got burritos, and one friend paid an extra 3 bucks to make it wet. Chips come on the side, and you can help yourself to salsa at their fresh salsa bar. This is the first taqueria I can remember that has a mild tomato salsa without raw onion and very little cilantro. I was excited to see that finally there's a salsa I can eat. My Alex burrito was one of the best burritos I've had imo. The proportion of meat to beans to rice was perfect and the rice tasted great. The al pastor was amazing: super flavorful and smoky. I usually feel like most burritos taste about the same to me, but I definitely found myself enjoying this one more than usual, which says a lot. Also, they're generously sized here. I wasn't able to finish mine despite my best efforts and packed the last quarter to bring home for dinner. I'd like to end my review by mentioning how polite and friendly everyone was, from the guy taking our order to the guy making the food. I was really impressed by this as well, since taquerias usually aren't exactly known for their service. I can't wait to come back!

Ok, but not my findings of a good Baja Mexican take out. Seems the further away from the TJ boarder you go, the more distant I feel from the So Cal Baja Marxian flavors and textures. Very mediocre CaliMex interpretation. I've had much better from a far lesser known establishment; even with the beans and rice that filled the Carne Asada burrito. The plain cheese quesadilla (and yes, I had to repeat "cheese only") was made with the most flavorless white cheese ever (I'm guessing Jack cheese was used). And just who puts protein in a quesadilla??? Very unsatisfying after an evening of drinking. CritDicks

My new favorite Mexican spot on the west side of the valley!…read more Love this place! I should preface my review by saying that I only leave Yelp reviews if I really loved, or really hated somewhere (be it a restaurant/bar/store/hotel/whatever). Luckily Chavela's is somewhere that I love!! Chavela's was previously "661 Tijuana Tacos", which my wife and I tried once and didn't enjoy. We went back to give them a 2nd chance, but they still sucked, so we didn't go back again. Around 6 months ago, we noticed that there was a new sign up, so we went in to check it out. Thank god, this was a whole new restaurant with new owners, a new cook, and a new menu! (and not just a rebranding of the old place). We decided to try them and OMG, they're FUCKING AMAZING! Pretty much everything appears to be made from scratch, in-house, from the tortillas to the chips, salsas & guacamole. Since that first visit my wife and I have ordered takeout probably 10 times and have never been disappointed. Customer service is excellent, with friendly cashiers both in-person & over the phone, the inside of the restaurant is clean and well laid out, the menu is simple & easy to read, and their "salsa bar" has a good selection of always freshly made salsas, stays well stocked, and is never too messy. We also appreciate the pricing. Chavela's is about 20% cheaper than another local scratch kitchen Mexican spot, that my wife and I loved, but had to stop ordering take-out from because they were just too damn expensive. Here are my recommendations from Chavela's: - Birria anything! Their birria is PHENOMENAL. And their consomme is *chef's kiss*. One of our favorite things to order (and great hangover food) is their birria quesataco combo + consomme to dip the tacos in. Lots of places that have birria & consomme make the consomme super, super salty, and if they're reheating & re-using it, it makes it saltier and saltier each time. Chavela's makes their consomme in the morning, and when it runs out, consomme is done for the day. If there's any left at the end of the day, it goes home with team members. They don't reuse/recycle consomme to the next day! I also love their birria soft tacos and the birria quesadilla. - Asada & al pastor soft tacos. Soft, tender meats with tons of flavor (onions, cilantro, salsa) on homemade tortillas. What more do you need! Vampiros. FIRE!!! Try them yourself and refute me. I dare you! - Tortas. I've only tried their Cubano torta so far, but it was fantastic (and huge). - Chips & Guacamole. All made in-house, with tons of flavor in the guac, and just the right amount of salt on the chips. My ONLY complaints are that they don't do machaca, so we can't get machaca & eggs or machaca burritos, they don't make albondigas soup, and they don't have any kind of customer rewards program or something along the lines of frequent customer cards, etc. Fingers crossed they'll add all these things in the future! Overall, Chavela's is a great Mexican restaurant that is well worth spending your money at!

I'll usually go…read moreto a taco truck when I'm craving tacos but I have been wanting to try this place as I drive by it often. So much regret. So I ordered over the phone for pickup. When I got to the restaurant it was crap parking, and not inviting at all inside. But I kept a positive attitude and got instead, no greeting from the girl. I smiled and said hi to the girl working and she literally just stared at me with the coldest face. I paid for my food and said thank you and again not a smile, not a wave, nothing from anyone. Okay so most important - the food. Firstly, I got the asada fries. The fries were cooked decent but there was just no flavor at all. It also was cold and clumpy as if it'd been sitting a while which was odd bc I got there 10 min after ordering and ate it no more than 10 min later. Then I got 2 plain asada tacos for my kids - so dry and over cooked. The tortillas over powered the meat for all of the tacos, very thick and just not good. And the asada meat was like the end meat in a party tray, just all the burnt bits. Then I got pastor tacos, these weren't as dry but didn't taste like typical pastor tacos. Not impressive but probably the better out of the entire order. Which isn't saying much. Lastly and most upsettingly, it was raining today so I was craving some Birria tacos. Which is what I ordered for myself. When I got them it was not Birria. I asked the girl and she said it's Barbacoa which is the same thing. It was not the same thing. The meat was again super dry, not saucy at all, and just stuck in between regular dry tortillas. Such a letdown. Not one of these dishes had flavor, like not even salt, and the 2 salsa options were very basic also. Definitely will not go back. Also the radishes to go were not fresh in the slightest.

The place is just a good spot for great Mexican food, it is NOT a Michelin star upscale restaurant like some unfair negative reviewers here that think they're professional food critics. Complaining about lack of music, bad lighting, and not inviting vibe? Are you kidding me. This is a great little gem here in Chatsworth for some quick good Mexican food. The service is always great, they always greet you with a smile. They make the food quick and it's always great tasting. I love their condiments sections where they have all you can take lemons, jalapenos with carrots, red radishes, red and green salsas. I don't like misleading bad reviews of places like this because it's NOT a fair review if you go to places just to critic their walls and decor. Some people are just little complainers. Don't be mislead by those type of reviewers. Cheers and don't hesitate to try this place out.

First time here, have seen this truck for some time at the corner of De Soto and Lassen in…read moreChatsworth, but never stopped. My wife saw on Instagram that they have asada fries for $10 on Saturday's, have been looking for some good asada fries so we had to try it. This is a food truck so you order and take it to go, or they have a couple small tables on the sidewalk if you want to eat there. When we arrived there was one order in front of us, so we did not have to wait long. The guy taking our order was very nice, I asked for some extra salsa and radishes, no problem. We ended up getting 2 orders of crazy fries, which is what they call their asada fries. A regular asada burrito, a 3 taco asada plate and a Birria trio. The fries were really good, the fries themselves were very crispy, which was great, most places are soggy fries, not here, they are crispy and very tasty by themselves. These fries are loaded, nacho cheese, asada, beans, sour cream, guacamole, onions, jalapeños, pico de gallo and cilantro. I have to say these are excellent, have had asada fries around the area and these stand heads and shoulder above them. The burrito was pretty large, packed for of meat, rice, beans, onions, cilantro and green sauce, tasty and enough for two when sharing fries as well. These Birria trio was great, interesting, 3 takes on their birria tacos, one kind of like a tostado style, then a queso birria, and a birria taco. These are one of my son's favorites, so had to get them and only $10 as well. Lastly, I got the 3 Asada tacos plate with rice and beans, I liked them very much, but I am easy to please and can't go wrong with asada tacos typically. All in all a great new find and we will be back to get the crazy fries and try some of there other items on our next visits. Go support them, small business, great food and service, write some reviews to get them more business. Enjoy!
