“We order Tito’s very often. It’s not always consistent but tonight it was really good. Everything was fresh, well cooked and fast. I will say anytime it’s not good and so am asked for a review, I let them know and they always make good on it.“

“Really good food and atmosphere. Watch out for the automatic tip on the receipt. They didn't include it on Thursday but did on Friday. Usually I tip 20% but when places automatically add 18%, I don't tip extra when places auto tip. They also included a tip line even tho they added an auto tip lol, not falling for that trick.“

“Spoke with a owner today and had to tell her that one of her employees is always outstanding with service and goes beyond even when they are about to close. I know the owner told me the girls name but im going to spell it wrong but Andrea thank you for being pleasant. I noticed there was no more salsa out and asked her if there wasn't any i wouldn't buy that night and I'll come back another day because i knew they were closing and i know the hustle and bustle of that. Usually ppl say no and go about what they were doing but not her she looked in the back, front and said i have some gave me a cup and i was on my way. Everytime i have come to this location i get greeted and there is no hesitation to give great service. Thank you guys!!!“

“Fantastic! Fajita was juicy and tasty. Fish tacos perfect amount of sauce and breaded fish. Mexican Street corn was excellent. And of course, don’t fill up on the warm chips. Excellent service. Leave room for the churros. And definitely call first to confirm if they are open.“

“I had a meeting earlier in the day and didn't have lunch, so I was looking for something good to eat when I saw Fandango Mexican Grill. I was amazed at the beautiful decor of Mexican art. I was promptly greeted by a very friendly welcoming waitress. Everything on the menu looked great and I had a hard time selecting something, so I asked my waitress to recommend something. She recommended the Carne Asada Burrito. I ordered that and was not disappointed. The burrito was enormous, full of well seasoned steak, cheese and rice. It was so good. I would definitely Fandango Mexican Grill. ?“

“My whole family really loves Los Carnales. I'm surprised I haven't written about them yet. It's our 3 year old son's first choice when we were deciding where to go. He loves the chips with the green salsa, and he has good taste - it's very flavorful. The inside is just super cute and festive. It is small and cozy, but one of our favorite spots. We also love the waitresses. We do get take out often as well, but despite our introvert personalities we prefer to go there. We try different things on the menu, but we always start with the Choriqueso. It's so hard to find a good chorizo queso that isn't all grease with cheap cheese. This ends up being the little guy's meal. I also love the Ensalada de la Casa with shrimp. Lately we've been loving the Quesadilla Mexicanas with steak or shrimp. They are really generous portions as well. The menu has both Mexican and American style on the favorites, which I really appreciate. Not only is it good for those used to one style, but it also offers great variety if you just want something different. I'm sorry it took almost a year for me to applaud this place. Mexican is our favorite but I have struggled to find a good place, despite glowing reviews. The food looks fantastic but then the protein is completely bland. Not Los Carnales!! They know what they're doing.“

“FINALLY a solid taqueria within walking distance! We got chorizo and carnitas tacos - both excellent. Carnitas had a deep, meaty flavor, chorizo was flavorful. Green salsa was awesome, red salsa was a nice heat but not as much flavor. Got a lime cucumber agua fresca too, refreshing and not too sweet. There's only 3 tacos to an order (double tortilla) so they're not cheap, but it's enough food. The restaurant itself looks pretty nice - clean, bright, nicely decorated. We'll 100% be back.“

“Strolling through town a wanted a little snack to go with my healthy smoothie from earlier. I walked in and was warmly greeted by a cheerful guy. After checking out the menu, I asked him what his favorites were and he made all the tacos sound so delicious. I was kinda of leaning towards a bowl, but after hearing all the taco goodness I grabbed a Cajun shrimp taco to hold me over till later.Turns out the guy I was chatting with was the owner, Todd. Really great to interact with him, super passionate about this place.Service was fast, taco was $6ish, and it was really tasty. I should've grabbed a deal for three, but I'll be back to eat more another day. You should too!“

“Best Mexican food in town for sure. We just picked up from there for the first time and the menu is massive. Food was soooo good. The guy who helped us was super nice too. We got the birria tacos and enchiladas - 10/10. This will be our new go to!!“

“Its been long time i came to chevy after they redid their menu and toke out some. However i went the other day a d they had the quesadilla burger again and i was so happy but when i got it, it was super Greasy. And barely able to grap it without everything falling off.“

“Chili's has no right being this frickin good. truly. and the staff rocks. I've gotten so many different servers every time I go and everyone is so nice and chatty and friendly. the food quality is always great. never thought I'd find myself becoming a repeat chilis customer but this chilis rocks“

“I recently ordered take-out from Habanero and was blown away by their delicious chicken quesadillas. The flavors were authentic and mouthwatering, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend trying them out if you're a fan of Mexican “

“Stopped by after an event at Chatham. The atmosphere was relaxing/calm. The service/ customer service was great, we were greeted as soon as we came in and our food was brought in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered the Molcajete and it was delicious with an authentic taste! We will definitely return.“

“Absolutely loved the food and vibes! Great place for Tex Mex food! We tried Cajun Fried Broccoli, Blackened Broccoli, Empanadas, Bean Burro, Vegetable Quesadilla, Jambalaya Rice, Queso Dip and Guacamole along with a lot of chips and salsa. The highlights for me were Cajun Fried Broccoli, Queso Dip and Empanadas! A bit of wait time but worth it for the delicious food.Vegetarian options: They have a separate vegetarian menu and a lot of customisable optionsDietary restrictions: Can accommodate Vegetarian and Vegan restrictions.Parking: A lot of parking spots available“

“I had the fish , black beans and rice. It was good . The ambience was good. Had to Chace the waitress down nowhere to be seen. Had the passion fruit margarita it was decent. Music wasn’t too loud , you can still have a conversation. Will visit “

“I was there for a wedding and the location was lovely and the food was surprisingly good. They had several stations during cocktail hour and the Latin and Chinese ones were better than what you'll get at most take out places. The rest of the food was good, but these were the standouts.“
