OK, the store gets only 4 stars because it is pretty expensive and I don't love their meat counter. Their homemade chorizo tastes a little weird to me. I just don't love it. You do want to come here to eat tacos, however. EAT TACOS HERE!!! Best tacos in town! First of all, the tortillas are freshly made right in front of you and they are tender and delicious. All the meats are incredible. The carnitas is fall apart tender and juicy. The carne asada is rich and delicious, the chicken is super tender and flavorful. They put the right stuff on it and ask you if you want the guac. sauce. It is green sauce with some avocado in it, not really avocado, but its ok. The salsas are fresh and fantastico! They will plop on a freshly grilled jalapeno on there, too. SO good! They are very nice over at the restaurant part. It is a little confusing - you have to go to the store and order what you want at the store, then go next door with your receipt and give it to the cooks for them to make up your plate. There is a bunch of stuff on the menu, but I have honestly only seen people eat tacos there. read more

After an 8.5 hour journey from Orange County we landed safe in Ukiah but exhausted and hungry. Searched for places near where we were crashing for the night before our next leg of the trek. SOOO GLAD I found this place. It is legit!! We ordered 2 carne asada burritos with everything to go!! So dang good!!! So authentic! The rice, The beans. The asada and everything else!! Yumm!! So good for my weary soul. The homemade flour tortillas reminded me of growing up in central California. I have been craving one ever since. This place did not disappoint! My one gripe is they only give you one side of salsa for your GINORMOUS BURRITO!! Which is probably enough for a normal Person BUT...This salsa roja is FIRE!!! Fantastic flavor with a solid kick!! Hunky hubster and I love heat so for us it was perfect and we were wanting MORE!! Hubs finished his whole burrito but I could only do 1/4 to 1/3 it was so packed full of goodness!! Everyone was helpful and friendly from the employees in the market to the servers/ cooks outside. Was great to watch them make the tortillas while you wait. 5/5 with no complaints only ravings and a deep abiding sadness that it is 8.5 hours (on a good day) away from home. We travel this way once a year to visit my Mother in Love in Brookings for her bday. I will be looking forward to next July when I can have my old school Mexican food longings fulfilled!! If you are bougie don't bother. But if you love the non fancy down to earth road side Mexican food with no flairs or fusion BS, it's definitely worth the time. $30 for 2 Carne Asada burritos LOADED WITH EVERYTHING!! Worth every penny and for me, more than enough to share! Again... if you like heat ask for extra salsa!! read more

Best tacos ever!! People that work here are all very nice and helpful. Love Chavez market!

Wowowow!! This is what you call a hole in the wall. Amazing tacos, fresh handmade tortillas, big portions, and full of flavor. You also get a good view of the mountains while eating outside. My boyfriend took me here 2 days in a row, once for lunch and the other for an early dinner. I think this has to be one of my favorite places to get tacos now. So the process of ordering, you place an order at checkout inside the market. Then head to the wooden building next door, and you let the worker know what meats and condiments you want for the tacos. It was such a treat to experience hand-made tortillas, soft and doughy but holds together well without any tearing like factory made tortillas. The meat was well seasoned and juicy. My order: Pollo w/ cilantro + salsa verde medio + jalapeño, no onions Bf's order: Carne Asada & Carnitas w/ cilantro + salsa verde medio + jalapeño/serrano + onions Next time I visit my bf, he'll have to take us here again. It's well worth a trip! read more

Waited in line for 20 minutes to order food, was told to look at the menu, I looked at the menu for about 40 seconds and went back to the register and the man who just came in to help, AFTER he just told me to look at the menu said I have to go to the back of the line. I get there was a big line but I waited just like everyone else definitely never coming back. read more

Exceptional tacos and handmade, fresh tortillas. Ordering process is a bit screwy, but, figuring out how it all works makes every bite worth it. One of my favorite establishments in Northern California for tacos. On this most recent visit, I had carnitas and al pastor. I also had a tamale which I picked up inside and found it pretty boring. Stick with the tacos! read more

Not worth the very long wait. Ordered in the store (that was confusing), then took our receipt to wait in line next door where they make the food. There were only 4 people in front of us, but we waited nearly 40 minutes to get to the front, hand over our receipt, and then literally repeat our order because thr receipt didn't contain any details. Then we waited another 15 minutes for our food to be ready. The upside was that it was mostly prepared fresh. You can watch the staff pressing and cooking the tortillas in front of you. The meat is kept warm in hot pots and strangely, there was no chicken, though we weren't aware of that when we paid 40 minutes prior. I ordered a quesadilla and pastor tacos. Meh. The salsa was uninteresting and thr pastor was FLOODED in orange grease. It overflowed my plate walking back to a table and got all over my sweatshirt. The meat was so very salty and mushy. It was almost like ground minced pork flavored grease-sauce. Yuck. Hubby ordered a carne asada super burrito. Nothing spectacular, though it was gigantic, so a good bang for your buck! The tortillas were thr star. Warm, doughy, but with some crispy pockets and edges. Those were a win. The overall experience, however, was not. read more

Food was so good. We had quesadillas with carnitas and steak, both excellent. The homemade tortillas were great. Pleasant place to eat on picnic tables under an awning. Drinks available in the market next door - which is also where you order the food. read more

Stopped by here today and spent 50 dollars on 2 taco plates and a quesadilla with just cheese. Had to tell the lady 3 times it was 2 taco plates which is also on the receipt I handed her and she still only gave me one. And then had to ask for cilantro and onions as well as salsa. Once he got the food it was really flavorless and fatty. So horrible service and not the best food as well. read more

I am so glad I decided to go to lunch here. I had a very large party and we bought over 25 tacos. They were all amazing and completely homemade. So so good. Will make this a regular stop. read more

Nice portions and authentic Mexican food. Def recommend the tacos al pastor with onions. The menu is inside the market and the actual restaurant is left of the market. Go order inside the market in checkout and take your receipt to the restaurant to the left of the market. The food is made fresh in front of you so expect a good 10-15 min of wait time--more if there are people in front of you. read more

Incredible food!! Anyone that says the ordering process is weird has never been to a mexican market before. Order in the store and hand receipt to the cook. Pretty easy and best mexican food i've had outside of mexico. Get the quesadilla, it's bonkers read more

went in to buy carne asada and they charged extra to marinade it. all they do is put it in the marinade that's on the counter. then the meat is full of fat and chewy. They leave the fat on to charge more when they weigh it . it's like you are eating rubber. Then the price is high . A rip off . go to the forks market. read more

Craving authentic Mexican food while traveling along highway 101? Get your fix here! Stop at the market and grab your drinks. Menus are up front at the register where you'll pay your bill up front and then proceed next door where they'll prepare your food for you. I ordered a torta de carnitas for myself and one carne asada super burrito for my boys to share; a good decision as the portion sizes here are quite generous. This place is legit!!! The food is authentic and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is humble and not unlike roadside restaurants you'd find south of the US border so if you're hoping for a classy dining experience, well, this is not the place for you. My only regret was my not ordering a bag of warm carnitas and tortillas for the road from the carniceria (butcher) while at the market. read more

I've been on Yelp for but four months and already feel that I have left Chavez Market patiently waiting for its deserved review. Three words for ya: Best. Tacos. EVER. I moved from Ukiah up here to Seattle and have yet to find anything that can come close to the marinated carne asada goodness from Chavez Market. Order by the taco, as they have a fantastic little "buffet" line outside were YOU get to put whatever toppings YOU like. A little cilantro, some lime, beans and that is all I could ever want. Hand-made corn tortillas served warm right off the griddle.. The salsa = AMAZING. If you ever find yourself rolling down Highway 101 through Mendocino County, you would do yourself a favor and stop on by. read more

I agree with the other reviews.. Authentic and flavorful. We had veggie tacos, quesdillas and nachos.. Everything was great. Loved their salsa and the lady who was making them was friendly... The tortillas were hand made and fresh and so was the salsa.The grilled jalapeno was good side too.. You order at the store and the girl at the counter was very friendly and helpful. read more

This review is for Primos across the lot. You have to buy the food at the market using a paper menu taped to the window, then take it over to Primos to have them tell someone else to make it. Kinda strange, cross your fingers and hope they get the order right. Well worth the worry. Everything is fresh and the individual flavors come out, making it a binge eating frenzy. Right on. read more

Crazy interaction when I went to return the burrito I ordered because I ordered guacamole off the menu and was charged for it but instead got avocado. I was not mad, cuz every thing is a mess these days. Where it got crazy was when the manager swooped in and started peppering me with questions. "What do you mean, 'guacamole?'" "Why did you bring the burrito back?" And then they said they don't have guacamole and they gave me "guacamole salsa" which is just light green watery nothing sauce. I have no idea why "guacamole " is on the menu and they don't seem to know either. Very twilight zone. read more

This used to be the best place to get tacos in town. They make the best authentic carnitas and homemade tortillas. Most of the ladies cooking don't speak very good English but one of them was very nice. It used to have a great salsa bar with cabbage and cilantro. Apparently because of COVID they're no longer allowing the same condiments. On the side of each order are grilled onions and jalapeños, but they often run out of them and this last time they ran out of carnitas. I'm so bummed because I used to recommend them to anyone despite their atmosphere and service. The food used to be so good that sitting outside on a dirty picnic bench was worth it. I can no longer recommend them though. read more

As many have mentioned, the setup where you pay next door at the market and then eat al fresco by the cooking area is a bit odd. However, except for the fact it was 44 degrees while we were dining, it's ok. The star of the show is the fresh handmade tortillas and quesadillas. The lady putting them together is a serious non-stop cooking machine. Salsa bar was very nice. Had the more typical salsas in salad bar type containers but had red and green molcajete style salsas served in molcajetes. These were on the spicy side, so be careful. read more

Really bad customer service while ordering food outside when the cook messed up my order and then claimed she didn't speak English

This is a modest taqueria with great food. Yes, you have to walk into the market next door and place your order in the checkout line, then sit outside while a woman cooks your food at an outdoor stand. However, it's worth it. We had taco platters and a quesadilla. It was delicious and super cheap. The woman was so kind and happy to serve us. We were so happy to give her our business and we will again if we are ever in the area. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed! read more

Could easily be some of the best tacos I have ever eaten and I have eaten tacos from here all the way down to San Ysidro. Don't be fooled by the location. This is a market where you order and pay then go out with your receipt next door where the tables are. The tortillas are handmade, the meats are tender, juicy, and delicious. There is a bar with salsas, cabbage, cilantro, and onions to pile onto your tacos. The meat is tasty and juicy. If you're ever in the area be sure to make a stop. read more
