8/10 times when I am deciding where to eat on Franklin Avenue, I pick Chavevla’s! I have been coming here for years. It is one of the most consistent restaurants on Franklin.

The Camarones al Ajillo is my favorite appetizer. The Sopa Azteca is really good. My favorite main dish is the fajitas Mixtas! Everything is good. Their holiday specials are always on point. I was here on Valentine’s Day and had amazing dishes. Make this a stop

I found this place on Google looking for a Mexican restaurant with vegetarian options with a high rating. I was excited that it was so close to The Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

The server was super awesome and knowledgeable about my dietary guidelines. The food was delicious and generous portions. Beautiful presentation as well. I highly recommend this restaurant.
