About Chava's Mexican Restaurant

Chava's Mexican Restaurant offers delicious and flavorful meals. The chips are light and crispy, and the salsa is fresh and homemade. The tamales and enchiladas are standouts, and the portions are generous. The tortilla soup, with its tender steak and well-balanced ingredients, is a must-try. The fried cheesecake is a delicious dessert option. The restaurant also features favorites like enchiladas de crema with pork carnitas, veggie fajitas, fish tacos, jenas, and cheese enchiladas, all made with real ingredients and authentic recipes. The salsa and chips are always fresh and tasty, and strawberry margaritas are highly recommended. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the experience pleasant. During nice weather, the patio is a lovely place to dine, and carry-out is available. On Taco Tuesday, the Fried Taco special with chicken or ground beef is a popular choice and offers great value. Overall, Chava’s provides good food, a cozy atmosphere, and a variety of options, though some have noted the occasional slower service and no lunch menu during busy hours. Despite this, it remains a favorite spot in Edwardsville for authentic Mexican dishes and a warm, inviting ambiance.
