Chacahua Mexican restaurante — Restaurant in Highwood

If you haven’t tried the Molcajete at Chacahua, we need to talk. It’s a game changer. You get a hot stone bowl that comes out sizzling like it's mad at you. It’s got the right balance of smoky, savory, and spicy, and if you’ve got a friend with you, good luck sharing it. It’s so good you might fight over the last bite.

But here’s the thing: the food’s only half the battle. The service? Oh, it’s on point. You’re not gonna be left sitting there wondering where your waiter went. The staff’s friendly, they’re on it, and they make sure you’ve got everything you need without hovering. It’s smooth. You feel like they got your back, and when the Molcajete hits the table, you know they did their job.

So, if you’re looking for a place to eat where the food’s phenomenal and the service has your back? Chacahua’s the place. Trust me, you’ll...

And since it was Mother's Day, moms got a free drink. We got a really good margarita, very balanced and smooth. Would get again.

Great experience, would definitely go again if we are anywhere...

The staff is amazing! Very attentive and kind. The food was outstanding, however, I feel they should have an option for vegetarian beans. In this day and age, many people do not eat animal fat/lard. A few vegetarian options would be highly appreciated.

The menu items could be a bit more descriptive. I was not 100% sure of what to expect when ordering my dish. It was quite tasty though, so zero complaints on the food.

It's a wonderful neighborhood joint! Highly recommend. I would give it 5 stars if they had more vegetarian options. We...
