Chavela's Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Webb City

What a great addition to the already excellent Mexican food scene in our area! The menu included a nice blend of standard items, like street tacos and nachos, but also included food I hadn't seen locally, such as gorditas and enchiladas mineras. The salsa is fresh and delicious, and is accompanied by a small dish of black beans with pico de gallo. The chips were the thin variety, and were fresh and hot. The horchata had lots of cinnamon, which I personally prefer. I had the enchiladas mineras, which is a lovely cold summertime dish, consisting of crumbled Panela cheese and pico de gallo mixed together and stuffed into fresh corn tortillas, which are then covered with more of the filing, and then drizzled with Mexican table cream, a lighter, more liquid, saltier sour cream. I could eat them every day! And the wait staff were so nice, and full of energy! I can't...

Terrible, non authentic "food." I gave it numerous tries and they just didn't improve. First, their salsa is terrible. I've never seen so much disgusting cilantro packed into salsa, where it doesn't belong. They need to understand that at least half of the world population can taste cilantro, and it doesn't taste good to those of us who can taste it. They have some other sauces, but they put something in them that is very upsetting to the GI tract. Same sauces elsewhere don't have the same problem. Most of their dishes are just bland, flavorless, and have strange flavor, what little they have. Their guacamole is terrible and doesn't resemble actual guacamole in the least bit, having barely any actual avocado in it. Just not worth...

The Mexican Street Tacos were very good. The Mineras-Cheese Enchiladas was a good dish. We enjoyed the flavor of what seemed to be their homemade salsa hot and mild. However their exemplary service is what made the entire so great. They were busy and had very few staff yet they were very attentive and pleasant which is rare nowadays. It was late I ordered coffee with cream. The young man apologized that they only had milk… no problem for me. When they brought my coffee in and earthenware mug they also brought a small pitcher of milk that they had taken the time to take the chill from. That coffee was fantastic!! It was still warm throughout my meal. Smiles and thoughtful acts can make the meal so much more...
