Enjoyed a very good lunch here, shrimp tacos and chicken mole enchiladas. The mole was maybe slightly too sweet, but the pollo was delicious. Good chips & salsa. Service was good to start, less attentive later. Cash only and you pay at the cashier, which isn't obvious if you're new here. (We kept waiting for a check to be brought to our table.)
We first went to the nearby La Taqueria, which is maybe too legendary for its own good. We were turned off by the long line, crowded seating, noise and limited menu. Chava's was more relaxing and has a big menu of authentic Mexican food. Prices were very reasonable, especially for SF. We'll be back. -

Use to go to this place before Carnaval and it was on 18th and Shotwell
Missed going to Carnaval for a few years and was dismayed when I went and it was gone.
Thanks to the internet I founded and it was just as good.
Now if only the twins show up again it will be -

I was pleasantly surprised that I stumbled upon this place while walking through the mission looking for lunch. I ordered a shrimp quesadilla with a side of rice and beans. All of the veggies and shrimp were cooked fresh on the stove, and seasoned to perfection. It tasted super yummy, had just the right amount of cheese and spicy. I was really surprised I didn't need to add anything to it, the cook did a great job! Even though the prices are steep, and they are CASH ONLY, I'd still give this place 5 stars. If they got a better POS system that accepted credit card, and didn't charge you a $3 ATM with your bank charging you $2.5 on top of that, this place would get 6 stars. Be warned, bring cash!

Scrumptious food and awesome service! My husband and I came in today at 10:00 am. It was pretty much empty, so we were seated right away! My husband ordered chorizo with egg, and I ordered the chilaquiles. Our waitress was very friendly and made sure we were doing well. Just keep in mind that they only take cash, which luckily we had some on us. We will come back

It is just as we remembered! Good is still delicious! We used to come in for breakfast every weekend with my husband and son. It was our weekend family breakfast spot.
It was our time to get out, give me a break from cooking and spending quality time discussing what we did during the week and just enjoying each other's company type of place. We would always sit in the back in the corner for a more intimate feel.
I would always order the menudo or chilaquiles and they would order either chorizo con huevos or chilaquiles.
This time my son and I visited and I ordered the menudo and my son ordered chorizo con huevos. I had my coffee and my son had horchata. They gave us a basket of chips and some salsa. The salsa was perfect and spicy! My fave!
We enjoyed our food very much and reminisced. We had a great time and service was awesome! You are able to watch the cook make the food. If you want authentic Mexican food then this is the place to go!
Enjoy!
