Yum!
I'd been warned that orders often got mixed up, but I took the plunge and my order came perfectly. And so good! This is a keeper. Had the trio of salsas and three different tacos and it was all incredibly delicious!

Mistakes 3 times in a row...
We've been going to Chavella's since they opened and loving the place. BUT very recently, we had our takeout order messed up 3 times in a row. One time, when we got home with the food, we realized that we didn't have insalata that is supposed to come with the plato don. -- went back and got it, to show their apology they gave us a flan. so we were like ok whatever. 2 weeks later Second time, once again when we got home with the food, we realized that vegetables that's supposed to come with plato don were missing. -- went back and got it, another flan. and we were like please please no more mistakes 2 weeks later For the THIRD time, this time it was the tortilla missing that was supposed to come with our order. PLEASE!!! - once again we went back, got it, got another flan. We live 1/2 block away so going back there is not that hard, BUT it's a PAIN if they just keep messing your order when all you want to do is sit down and eat your meal. Food is good and inexpensive, but this service problem needs to be solved.

First time, and not the last time
I bought the Aurelia's Mole which was ok, the Milanesa which was good, and the chicken and tomatillo Tamales which was nice. My first take on the place is that it's good, taking into consideration that I'm new to mexican food. The space is kind of tight but it doesn't seem to be affecting the good food being served. Last but not least, the waiters/servers can be a little more inviting. I will be back to try something new.

Compares with the best LA has to offer.
By far, Chavella's is the best Mexican food I have tasted in the city. I challenge any one to point me in the direction of better Mexican restaurant, and if one existed, I am certain it couldn't top the same value Chavella's has to offer. So good!

Best in the hood
Mind your p's and q's- it's tight in there! One of my favorite Mexican spots.

Delicious!
We eat here at least once a week. Service is hit or miss, depending upon who is working. The food is always excellent, however. I hate to let others know how good it is, though - the wait can already be somewhat long!
