Taqueria El Chavo Inc - Sarasota County

Went to this restaurant for the first time today and while the atmosphere may be a little lacking don't let the folding chairs fool you... this is truly authentic Mexican food with the best Burris tacos I've ever had on my life (and I'm old) We are looking forward to going back many many times.

I’ve been craving a taco salad for a few days and I enjoyed one tonight. Taqueria el Chavo,the hole in the wall near Yummy’s donuts was a Mexican place I had not tried. The fried tortilla bowl was perfect. Ground beef, rice beans, lettuce, sour cream, pico, guacamole was fresh and properly portioned. It was attractive and delicious. I can’t wait to try some other selections. Highly recommend! It was also the best price. There is a picture of the LAST SUPPER on the wall too. I’m FULL.

Many times a restaurant that isn’t the prettiest on the outside turns out to have the most amazing and memorable food. It’s a typical hole-in-the-wall story, but Taqueria El Chavo did not suffice to this title.As fun as well-decorated businesses are, I don’t try to judge them based on that. If I did, this place would quickly have lost all interest. It was barren and pretty dirty, and the lighting was pretty dark.We sat down and it took quite awhile to be served. The waitress really acted like she didn’t want to be there nor serve us. All of it was honestly pretty painful.I ordered a special burrito, and I have to say it was actually really good! It was juicy and full of veggies, rice, and protein just the right amount. I must have chosen the perfect plate, because none of the rest of the 9-10 people in my group had a whole lot to say about their dishes. They said it was okay but not too great. So overall it’s definitely a middle of the road experience.

This place is amazing great birria tacos and all around great Mexican food comparable to west coast Mexican foodGreat if I could give a 10 I would
