    Mexican Elote

    A little place tucked away in downtown. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced.

    Chata
    Mechelle S.

    I saw a picture of the chata online and knew I had to check it out. I got a plain chata and some nachos with beans and it was exactly what I needed. I love that their vegetarian offerings have actual vegetables on them

    Mexican arepa with Al pastor and chicken street taco
    Alejandro E.

    Holy moly. THIS IS the Mexican mom and pop Morgantown was waiting for. I myself am Cuban/Spanish decent and the flavors bring me back home. They were excellent. Of course they have their variety of tacos and burritos, but they actually have Mexican arepas and true dishes that are made at home by grandma. They truly brought a family recipe to the public. They quality is great. I got an arepa with Al pastor and it even had pineapple like it should! That, along with a street taco made my feel just full enough to be satisfied. Service was quick, ambiance is super relaxed. Great place to get a quick authentic bite. Definitely, 100% will be back.

    A gem in downtown Morgantown. The food is amazing and the employees are always super friendly!

    Pastor sopes and birriamen
    Rob W.

    Just left this new gem in Morgantown. We got a little bit of a lot of things and they were all excellent. The birriaramen was my favorite thing with the sopes a close second. My wife got the arepas and birria street taco. She loved them both. I hope this place has a long successful business in this town.

    Great food! Home cooked feel, family style. Loved the Vegetarian Tacos and guacamole! Seems like they just opened, but the flavor is on point

    Stopped here for dinner while in the area. We have tried to book a reservation here and struggled -…read moreuntil we booked on a week night. Had a reservation to sit at the bar and placed an appetizer order of the large meatball and Caesar salad. Meatball was good but the cheese filling promised was lackluster, and the temp of the meatball wasn't very warm. The Caesar salad was good. We also had table bread which came out hot and had a variety of butter, oil, and olive jam. I ordered the pasta alla vodka. It took 37 minutes to come out AFTER the appetizers were cleared. I can honestly say I have no idea why it took that long for two people's orders. It got to the point where I considered telling the bartender to cancel the order bc they obv hadn't even started our meals. Food when it came out finally was good - but the vodka sauce really wasn't. More like a creamy sauce that was very thin. Reminded me of cream of crab soup without the crab or old bay seasoning. Restaurant was nice, somewhat loud at times but being in the bar area we had a wall blocking out the sound. Overall it was good. Probably more of a 3-star experience but.

    Stefanos is a luxurious little getaway hiding below the bowling alley here in Morgantown. It is…read moreeverything you expect in an elegant eatery. This place is low-key but definitely posh. Here you can observe some of the local elites, tossing their blonde fake tresses and drinking expensive champagne while making sure everyone sees their brand spanking new Louis Vuittons and huge bosoms, and then there is the much more subtle and respectable old money clientele with their exquisite tailoring, indulging in one of the lovely Cabernets served here. And the Cabernet is lovely. The escargot is glorious, it is served with a little toasty roll that you use to dip up that glorious garlic sauce in the serving dish. I had the dover sole, which was straight in from, you guessed it, Dover! ;' ) I had it with fresh broccolini and parmesan risotto. G had sea bass with lobster risotto. Both dishes were cooked beautifully, the fish is flaky and light and the risotto were perfect. Our server Cody, who is absolutely wonderful by the way, tried to tempt us with desserts (one of which was a caramel hot lava cake!) but we were so full from dinner that we had to decline. Next time perhaps. And there will be a next time. PS: this is not the sort of place where you're going to whip out your phone and start photographing everything. Hence the lack of photos.

Shortly after our waitress stopped by for drink orders and another large group of women were seated right next to us. We could barely hear each other. The entire rest of the room was empty! But they got seated less than 2 feet away. I know they were having a good time, us, not so much. Hostess tip: in this type of instance don't stack people on top of each other. There was plenty of space to spread us out. We ordered appetizers and dinners. appetizers were delicious: peel n eat shrimp, spinach artichoke dip and calamari (my grandson wanted it!) Dinners ordered: Beef Wellington, salmon (ordered blackened), Cajun chicken Alfredo, child's beef tips and chicken basket. All the dinners were great, as well as the asparagus, BUT, the salads greens were brown. I even pointed it out to the waitress, but they didn't seem very concerned. I even thought they might offer a small discount, it was that bad. For the five dinner with tip was over $225. You certainly can eat for less, beef Wellington alone was $50. All in all, beautiful setting, cozy dining room. Friendly staff. We will go back sometime.

She was so friendly and very attentive. The ambiance is also very nice! For drinks, I had the Espresso Martini and the Chocolate Old Fashioned. These were both delicious! The breadsticks were also very buttery and tasty. For an appetizer, we had the Bruschetta. It is a different take than normal bruschetta and I am not the biggest fan of it. The one complaint about the bruschetta is that it was extremely salty. This made it less enjoyable. For an entree, I had the Crispy Chicken Rigatoni.

We got the salmon salad, chicken parm, and stuffed peppers. The latter was the only decent thing. The salmon on the salad was dry and burned to a crisp. Had to send it back. The chicken parm was slopped sideways onto my plate with the pasta... that was still dripping/pooling with water. The cheese was definitely not what I expected. It looked and tasted like a single slice of Kraft provolone. The pasta came with a salad that was served on a tiny bread plate, you know, one of those that holds a little roll when used properly. All in all, terrible value. Won't be going back. The photos say it all.
