I wanted to explore on my own and this restaurant was listed on Zaget's. I took the subway there and using Google Maps had no issues finding the place. When I arrived, the restaurant was packed! I was able to obtain a seat at the bar. I had 2 Bistecs, the house margarita and the Tingo quesadilla which were all... More

Chavela's was so popular at it's former location a few blocks away that they moved to this corner Franklin Ave location, but it still feels small. The brunch crowd queues outside the door of this attractive Mexican eatery. The walls are loaded with interesting artifacts and we had no problems with the servers. Food quality is consistently good.

We got in after a flight and long cab ride, to our B&B, Chavela's was our next stop for lunch. A great menu, reasonable priced, good service, great food, nice atmosphere

The food is great (love the guacamole and the soft tortillas) as well as the margarita!! The only cons are: it is too packed. You have to keep your elbow inside the space of your very small... More

Visited mid afternoon on a Friday in early June Very friendly and fast service. Yet not rushed I had a pork sandwich which was very good. My wife had chicken dish with a great sauce Reasonably priced: a beer and a drink, guacamole appetizer (great guacamole), and two entrees around $50 with tip

A great place to eat if you love Mexican food - very genuine, very busy and great food. The Plata Don was fabulous but bring a big appetite as it is huge

Unbelievably fast service and friendly staff even when the place was packed. Went back a second time and not just for another mid-afternoon margarita. The food was delicious and plentiful.

My favorite mexican in Brooklyn. Super cheap, fresh ingredients, and killer tequila bar. Go for a few tacos, quesadillas, and a cocktail for under $20. They also deliver which is great on a lazy night! Brunch and dinner times are tough to get seats so go early and sip on a few mexican beers or tequila/mezcal cocktails while you wait!
