My family and I are from Southern California and we decided to give Tio Chava’s a try for lunch. We have an ant in our water and in our salsa chips and when our food arrived there was a bug on our plate. Our table was so sticky from the last customer, the staff was very poor. I instructed my family to get up and leave, we are out of here. This experience is almost laughable it was so bad. You have been warned.

Quiet and cool. Great atmosphere. Horrible food. Menu does not reflect what they have. No margaritas, food is canned not fresh

Food took forever; food was wrong. It seemed like they weren’t prepared for actual customers to show up.

I have been twice, once because it was the only place still serving at 9:00 pm on the plaza, where things roll up the carpet early. Once the service was great(we were the only table) and once the service was slow(it was busy). Food– very good both times, good wine in attractive glasses. But the stars are for the bathroom. WHEREISIT? If there is no paper in the public restroom shared with people off the street, no soap to wash your hands, you are out of luck. I’m serious, there’s no washroom. Is that legal? It must be, and I may up the stars again if I go back. I might– good food — but NOBATHROOM — has that changed, Tio Chava’s?

We went there on a new year day. Only two or three restaurants open and this is one of them. I was a little worried due to its three star review but after we had the great food and received superior tenderness from the waiter. I can’t keep wondering why this small restaurant has only 3 stars? We ordered a relleno with green chili and added extra guacamole. It was very tasty and has its unique flavor. The waiter was very nice as well but of co there were not many people at that moment. Overall the experience is really good so I took the effort to write this review.

Only had drinks here. And what an amazing experience! The’re definitely not prepared for ‘just drinks’ on the patio. Loud music, no clue what wine and beer were on tap. Terribly slow service. But extremely friendly. More like two older men buying a bar, not having a clue how to run it. So not a extremely culinary experience, but more comic.

Food was ok but nothing great. Took nearly an hour to get our food and then still had to ask for silverware. Those damn Peruvian flutists were right next to the place. Nothing like a so so lunch that takes forever with the background music from nearly every tourist spot in the world. Looking for a meal in old town Albuquerque? I’d look elsewhere.

My wife and I tried to eat here last Saturday, and the owner shooed us out and told us that the cook’s not here, so we should try back in 20 minutes. We wandered around old town a bit and returned half an hour later, and he informed us that the cook is still not there. When we asked if we could just hang out and drink some beers while we wait for the cook’s return, the owner told us that we should leave. We were more than disappointed in the restaurant. The other two times we’ve tried to eat here, they’ve been closed when they should have been open according to Unilocal.We are not going to ever come back, and we will never advise any of our family, friends, or neighbors to eat at Tio Chavas. We felt like we were treated like second-class citizens. It’s disappointing to us, but hopefully a better restaurant will fill their space someday. We’ll stick to Church St. Café or Monroe’s from now on.

I was surprised by the harsh reviews. Place was extremely clean — nice outdoor seating, great décor and festive. I ordered a blue corn beef enchilada with green chili. Very tasty. My husband ordered a combination beef and chicken fajita. A big portion so that it’s enough for another meal! Good location. I would return. Vincent, our wait staff, was extremely attentive. Excellent service.

We ate after the lunch rush was over. Our waiter was great, and had a good sense of humor, also. We ordered burgers, and enjoyed them! Tio Chava’s green chile was delicious, and our burgers were cooked perfectly. Our french fries were hot, and crispy, so we enjoyed them! Since Tio Chava’s is in Old Town, it’s a great place to enjoy a meal. We will definitely be visiting again, even without a coupon! Hey, we always try new places, this way. If we like it, we can return without worries. If not, then we didn’t waste too much. Tio Chava’s, We’ll Be Back!

It started by «The menus are inside, Go get your own. It’ll be 15 minutes, the cook is not here». It ended by «I’m busy helping with orders, customers orders come 1st». I’m not sure where my group of three was on his priority list. The food was mediocre and the server Aaron Boyer should be fired. Three tables is 2 tables more then he can handle. The root problem truely resides with management and training.

Not bad for a newly opened establishment! The staff was very friendly and accommodating, although the place is lacking a bathroom and liquor license, I really enjoyed both the flat enchiladas and blue corn enchiladas with an egg, I’ve been here two times now. Portions were generous and food came pretty quickly! Nice spot, right at the end of the Patio area.

I went with a small group and there was only one server that was running everything. There were two other tables occupied and two that were dirty from previous customers from when we arrived to when we left. Only one guy running the show he couldnt get a chance to even breathe, and that is the only reason they got two stars instead of one was because he was so nice. However the food was not anything delighful at all. I forced myself to eat it, although I couldnt finish and neither did anyone at my table. Get more staff and definitely work on your recipes. Visitors from out of state are going to be visiting and your putting New Mexican food and traditions to shame. Great location in Old Town, stick true to our culture and share the wonderful tastes and foods we created

Blatant misrepresentation and false advertising. It is NOT a burger place like their website and groupon offer suggests. When questioned, the wAiter laughed and said no this is a New Mexican restaraunt but we do have a burger on the menu.(No sliders). Service was so slow we paid for our drinks and left…

This restaurant has only been open a week and they said they are still waiting on their liquor license. The food alone is worth coming. The staff was friendly and the food was great. I had the sliders and it was a large portion at a reasonable price. Came with three sliders(mini burgers) and fries. The fries were a thick spiral-like cut that were fried to just the right crispness. I’d come back again!
