Don Chava Taqueria — Restaurant in Brooks

A wonderful family restaurant that has friendly staff and even better food. I've been several times now and they have not disappointed yet. Their tacos are the best I've had anywhere, their salsa is delicious, and their pico de gallo is always fresh and bright. This most recent time the tacos came on a board with extra toppings like pineapple and radish which was a nice addition.

The atmosphere has definitely evolved since they first opened with what I assume is some traditional Mexican decorations. The music is always fun to listen to and a completely new experience for me. Everything is very clean and with seems more open than ever.

This is a lovely restaurant and I hope it thrives for decades to come. I recommend it for anyone who loves bright, fresh flavours and some spice. (I also recommend the refried beans taco with pico de gallo on it). If you think salt and pepper is pushing it in the spice department and hate exposure to new food experiences then there is plenty of fast food restaurants...

We were seated immediately. There was a lack of a drink menu, but we had looked at the photos on Google and had an idea of what we wanted. We spent $72 on drinks, that was 1 Agua Fresca, 1 beer, 1 Michelada and 3 litre-size Micheladas. You do the math. The appetizers came in relative timing, maybe 10mins. That was great! Our food didnt take much longer, considering there was a birthday party going on there and they seemed quite busy. The waitress appeared to be very busy, she barely set the food down and she would be off and running again. Overall we spent $203 for 4 adults and 1 toddler. Food tasted amazing, my only suggestion would be some mariachi music to add to the atmosphere. TLDR: Delicous food, busy staff, a bit pricey but worth it. ETA: Do not underestimate the portions. We all struggled to eat everything and eventually took home 2 FULL...

Just ordered from here for the 1st time and it was kind of a hit and miss with the food. My GF got a chicken quesadilla and it was amazing! Big portions too. The chicken was very tender and juicy. And the sides were tasty and fresh. I got the asada burrito and the meat in it was very chewy and I had to spit out a few pieces because it was just that bad.. Night and day difference between the quality of meat in the 2 dishes. I also got a a couple chicken tacos to try out and they weren't really that filling compared to the rest of the food. They tasted great but def are not worth the 3.50.with the measly amount of meat I got. I will give this place another shot because the quesadilla was just that damn good. But next time I'll think I'll stay away from...
