" We visited this restaurant on a Saturday night, and the wait was worth it. The guacamole was fresh and delicious, and the margaritas were some of the best I've had. The ambiance is lively, and the decorations give a nod to Mexican culture. The service we received was friendly, but it took a bit longer for our food to arrive. Once it came though, it was fantastic! I would highly recommend their Quesabirrias. Overall, a wonderful night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Chavez was memorable, but there were a few hiccups. The restaurant was busy and we were a bit overlooked at first, which was frustrating. However, once the staff realized, they were very attentive. The food itself was great, particularly the carne asada tacos which tasted authentic and fresh. We will be back, hopefully at a less busy time to enjoy the atmosphere even more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last week and it was impressive! The bar was busy, but the staff was really on top of things. The fajitas were sizzling and delicious, definitely one of the best I’ve had in town. The atmosphere felt festive and comfortable, perfect for a date night. I would recommend the house margaritas—they were amazing! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first experience at Chavez was less than ideal. The food, while it had potential, fell short in flavor. The street tacos we ordered were bland, and the chicken tasted dry. Although the service was friendly, it did take quite a while to receive our food. I felt disappointed considering all the rave reviews. However, I do want to give it another shot since many friends keep recommending it. Maybe it was just an off night? " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely dining spot! The burritos were a bit on the hefty side and packed full of flavor. I ordered one with barbacoa that melted in my mouth! The ambiance is perfect for family gatherings and group dinners. Had a small issue with one wrong drink—but the staff was very eager to fix it. I’ll make sure to recommend Chavez to friends, it's worth checking out! " (*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*)
