I got two carne asada burritos and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. Each burrito was huge, delicious, heavy, and full of meat. Their salsa roja and salsa verde were both delicious and went very well with the burrito. Thank you Chavita’s Mexican Food for a great lunch. I’ll see you soon.

Ordered the shrimp burrito and the breakfast burrito. Both were good but the shrimp burrito was super good. We had our 1 year old with us and they even made her a little quesadilla for free! Definitely would come here again.

We're staying at the Rivers Edge RV park and decided to try this place for dinner on our last night here. OMG, we haven't had Mexican food this delicious and authentic since we moved from SoCal. I wish we would have tried it on our first night! The guys were friendly and welcoming. The Birria tacos were amazing as well as the chorizo wet burrito. If we ever move, this will be a reason to move to Clatskanie!

If you haven't noticed the best places in town are usually a taco truck and Chavita's did not disappoint. The food was well prepared and flavorful with the little added touches that make a place stand out. I love how my Birria tacos had grilled onions and jalapeno on the side. The service was great and we even got a free taste of some of their new pork tacos. There's also a really nice outdoor place to sit by the river. All in all the great experience.

Can't rave enough about these guys and their food! Their prices are reasonable and they are a family run business that really gets to know their community. I ALWAYS get their Jumbo burrito and feel good after devouring it

Best quesabirria tacos I have had around the Portland area. I got the quesabirria taco combo. I was recommended to try this place, and it did not disappoint! Drove over an hour to get here, they even had a cute covered seating area outside to eat at too! I am excited to come back and try other things as well. Staff was very friendly and food was fresh. All in all, it was a great experience…10/10 would recommend.

So good.i used to get really good breakfast burritos in Portland but have since moved out here and missed having a place I could get a good one. Nice to have a local place that makes one just as good. I will be coming back here for sure. I had the breakfast burrito with chorizo and it was amazing and huge.
