I love chivos! I am a frequent customer. I go there with my boyfriend, family, and friends. This is our regular date night spot. The food is exceptional, our server Juan G is impeccable, and the owner Sergio is amazing. We love coming here when we need a happy hour, date night, or an escape from cooking. This is our hidden gem. Chivos is such a great family friendly restaurant and it’s prices are unbeatable! Chivos never disappoints. We love supporting local businesses in addition to eating delicious food on a budget with amazing staff.

This is our "go-to" restaurant for Mexican cuisine. Try the Big Sir or Sur or Polo Santiago. Highly recommend the medium house frozen margarita. Keep up the good work guys, thank you

Overall, we enjoyed the experience, the appetizers, and drinks. The staff was nice. We started with queso with ground beef and it was delicious! The complimentary salsa and bean dip were also amazing. The salsa tasted like the tomatoes were roasted. I enjoyed my mango margarita on the rocks and my partner loved the house frozen margarita. I did not like the pineapple cilantro margarita on the rocks, the pineapple flavor tasted sweetly synthetic. I am always on a mission to find the best chile relleno...I haven't just yet. The poblano pepper was possibly battered and frozen ahead which I could taste. I read a prior review that the guest enjoyed the appetizers and drinks but the entree was subpar. After dinning there, I agree.

Chivos Mexican Bistro & Cantina is a vibrant spot in Mandeville, Louisiana, known for its commitment to quality and the art of Mexican cooking. This bistro takes pride in using only fresh ingredients, ensuring that their Mexican cuisine is more than just the typical rice and beans.

The menu at Chivos is full of flavor, offering a variety of options including street tacos, fajitas, and seafood enchiladas. Patrons have praised the food for being tasty, fresh, and consistent. The service is excellent, fast, and great, complemented by a friendly and attentive staff.

When it comes to drinks, Chivos doesn't disappoint. Their margaritas, particularly the mango and top shelf varieties, are noted for being flavored, strong, and good. The tap beer is excellent.
Excellent sides: burrito and quesadilla (see photos)
Tasty, sizzling fajitas were served (see photo)

This place has a lot going for it, service is impeccable, beer is cold! The complimentary chips are thin, crisp and warm and paired with the amazing bean dip and flavorful fresh salsa, makes a great starter. Only issue is that the entree food is just plain okay. It does come out fast, so maybe too fast causing a lack of flavor? It's not bad, it just doesn' match the same standard of the appeitizer/service/atmosphere you get so it's disappointing when the entree is just meh.
