I ordered the Steak Cozumel -- an 8 oz ribeye with a cheese enchilada, rice, and beans -- plus a small queso with chips. Customer service was friendly, but the food this time was just okay. In the past, I remember the flavors being outstanding, but it didn't quite live up to that on this visit. The tortillas also tasted store-bought, which was disappointing. That said, I've had amazing meals here before, so I'm hopeful they'll get back to the quality I remember. I'll definitely give them another try down the road.

We've been to this place a few times before, which is why this experience was really disappointing…read more When we visited recently, we noticed roaches crawling around in the dining area while we were there. It immediately made us uncomfortable and definitely affected the whole experience. We almost left, but since we were already there and didn't want to go somewhere else, we decided to stay and give it a chance. Unfortunately, after seeing that, it was hard to enjoy the food and the overall experience just wasn't good. Another thing that stood out is how dark and dim the restaurant is inside. It makes it hard to see much around you, which honestly made us wonder about the cleanliness after what we saw. We had been here multiple times before without noticing anything like this, so it was surprising and really disappointing this time.

Excellent food and service! I was in Buda visiting family…read more They were raving about Chavelos. They dine there twice a week. I had breakfast tacos with egg, cheese, and avocado with a side of breakfast potatoes. Our server, Aly, was so friendly and attentive. The salsas were hot! But with different levels of heat.

Go around to the alley in the back and there is a welcoming parking lot, a huge sign and customers going in and out. * * * Chavelos is your basic Texas Tex-Mex restaurant. All the standards. Prepared the normal ways these things are prepared. As comforting as old bedroom slippers. You can find these dishes in thousands of places all over Texas. But you will do perfectly well having them here. * * * Two unusual notes besides the back is front issue. a) They have beautiful post oaks in the back-is-front back yard. On warm days, you can sit out there. I recommend it. b) They are massively generous with chips and dip. The initial bowl they give you is microscopic. But they are refilling that bowl constantly. Scoops of chips showed up at our table many many times during our meal. The chips are lovely. The salsa is no great shakes. Still, I ate 6,438 chips with dip. So the salsa can't have been that bad. * * * Altogether a pleasant place. The old standards are old standards for a reason.

It's loaded with huge chunks of squash, bell peppers, onions, and fresh avocado.

The meat was tender and plentiful, and they give you all the right fixings--onions, cilantro, lime, and even roasted jalapeños to give it that perfect kick. ​Great portions, fresh ingredients, and total satisfaction. I'll definitely be back for more!

Everything was pretty delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The Catfish Beignets were perfectly crispy with a hint of sweetness, but nothing super special about them, just tasted like fried catfish to me. The Diablo Chicken Pasta was nice and saucy, but like the catfish beignets, was a bit bland so I needed some salt to up the flavors. The shrimp ceviche was very refreshing, delicious, and a solid appetizer that was packed with flavor. The Chicken Waffles was good as well. The chorizo gravy sauce that came with it, was different, but complimented the whole dish very well. Overall, the portion was a bit smaller than I'd like for the price that I paid, but the food was overall pretty delicious. Our server Michael was fantastic. Super fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. A full bar, but didn't have Pina Coladas. Lots of tables and chairs to dine at. Clean restrooms and lots of parking. They have this huge fancy front door that threw me off a little lol.

Guess things don't change much in 10 years. Had visited Z Tejas the first time years ago when I…read morelived on San Antonio and the restaurant was located at La Cantera. Even then, i thought it was ok, especially for the price point. Stellar: First our server, Faith: she was super friendly, attentive and funny and made it a pleasant experience. Also, the shrimp tostada bites were killer - I could eat those all day. My wife's carajillo was perfect. OK: catfish beignets-the batter was well seasoned and crunchy, but it seemed like the actual fish needed seasoning as it was pretty bland. Grilled chicken sandwich was pretty bland too: the chicken was slightly dry and aside from the avocado, onion and tomato, there was not much flavor. Checked the buns to see if they were spread with an aoli but no, pretty dry. I thought Z Tejas was ok then and it's still ok and wouldn't be my first choice unless it's for happy hour where they have the shrimp tostadas on special.

Came here for lunch around 3pm on a Saturday and were surprised this place was empty…read more We were greeted and seated right away. Server asked if we knew what we wanted but since it was our first time we asked for the menu & ordered 3 drinks: Mexican bottled coke, jarritos (pineapple) and Sangria (soda non alcoholic) We ordered 18 mini tacos and 2 cheese quesadillas. Total was: $57 (cash ONLY) - Al pastor: 5/5 for taste, flavor, presentation and amount of meat to taco ratio. Only thing sadly missing was fresh pineapple for topping. - Suadero (fajita): 2/5 it was nicely packed but sadly missed the mark on flavor and it was very dry. - Cabeza: 2/5 the cut of meat was good but missing flavor. - Chorizo: 3/5 the flavor was good but not great. - Cheese quesadillas: 4/5 the cheese was quality cheese but didn't actually melt at all. Once the food came out (10min) we were given 2 types of salsas: green guacamole and red with chile de arbol. I was only able to add a few drops of the red salsa so beware. Overall we really enjoyed the food, service and mainly the al pastor tacos. We'd come here again if we're ever in Kyle.

Sin embargo, la única razón por la que obtiene 1 estrella es porque pedimos nuestra comida que salió muy rápido, lo cual no es una queja, pero la comida y la salsa tenían poco o ningún sabor, la porción de limon que recibimos era muy pequeña, las porciones tenían poco o nada de jugo cuando se exprimían. Lo más probable es que no regrese, lo único bueno fue la Coca mexicana

With so little time to spare I decided to go to plan B and turn into the Bread Basket gas station because I remembered seeing good reviews on Taco Clem. I am not usually excited by "gas station food" but listen, that is NOT what this is! These are legit breakfast tacos with a variety of fillings. I tried the Buda Taco and the Clem Taco and they both knocked my socks off. One of them had carne guisada! They were both so delicious! Even the kids all enjoyed the different tacos they got and asked if we could go back a second time the same day! Chris took such good care of us. You can bet we are already looking for a good opportunity to go back. Say yes to the salsa!
