" So far, I’ve had a great experience at Chavez! The nachos were massive and loaded with toppings. I shared with a friend and we still couldn't finish! The service has been friendly every time too. The restaurant itself is busy, and sometimes it takes a while to refill drinks, but overall, this is my favorite place to visit for authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience! I ordered the chili relleno and my husband had the carnitas. Both dishes were bursting with flavor! The service was on point—our waiter was friendly and full of recommendations. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, perfect for a fun night out. We also enjoyed the chips and salsa while we waited which had just the right kick. Will definitely be going back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a wonderful lunch here last week. The place was clean and had a nice setup. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were simply delicious! Super fresh with a hint of lime. The service was quick and friendly which made the meal even better. Overall a great place to enjoy lunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a good experience at Chavez for dinner last week. The cocktails were refreshing, though they could have used a bit more kick. My group had various dishes, and while my taco salad was decent, I found my companions' choices more pleasing. Service was friendly and attentive despite a busy crowd. Overall, I enjoyed it but felt it could have been better! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time at Chavez and I was thoroughly impressed! The chicken enchiladas were excellent—filled with shredded chicken that was very tender, and topped with a delightful green salsa. I also enjoyed their margaritas, which were potent but reasonably priced. The only downside was the wait time for a table, but it was worth it in the end. The vibrant decor certainly set the mood too. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chavez was a pleasant surprise! The ambiance was perfect and really captures the essence of a traditional Mexican eatery. I had the mole poblano which was rich and flavorful, a dish that truly felt homemade. On the downside, it took longer than expected to be seated despite having a reservation. The staff was courteous and worked to accommodate our group. I'd love to give this place another try during a quieter time. Highly recommend the mole! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chavez has quickly become my go-to Mexican restaurant in Rockford! The moment you walk in, the cheerful atmosphere grabs you. I tried their shrimp fajitas, and let me say they were beyond excellent, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice. The portions were generous, too! The service was friendly, though they seem to be training new staff. I had to wait a bit after finishing my meal for the check, but the friendly demeanor of my server made it bearable. I totally recommend this place if you're craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
