My favorite thing (so far) is the Shrimp Cocktail! Lots of shrimp and flavors! Very refreshing. (I had to pour it in the bowl because the cup was overflowing)! And in the picture I'd already eaten some of it. So good!

I enjoyed the tacos carne asada plate with pineapple. The service isn't the best--but it's more of a fast food energy or ambiance. I'd definitely come back to try some other items

Forget all the insipid nonsense you'll see in Google reviews. I'll tell you the real story. Today I checked in at Taqueria Chavez on Lohman Ave. The place is ok for quick, casual dining. Not much more. Their menu is kind of limited to tacos, tortas, and quesadillas. Their specialty appears to be Birria Tacos or Quesabirria when cheese is added. Birria Tacos are cooked up on the grill and have a crispiness to them and they tend to be a bit greasy. But, if done right they are delicious. Today I ordered their Quesabirria Tacos with consome (or consomme???) and an additional taco al pastor to see how that is. The service today was fine in a casual sort of way. They brought out a basket of chips with a salsa verde. The chips tasted ok but were very salty. Rate them a B-. The salsa verde was thick and highly pureed. Flavor-wise it was not very good. I am not a fan. Rate the salsa a big fat "D." I didn't consume much of it. The taco al pastor had a fair amount of meat and it wasn't too dry. The flavor was just ok. Nothing to write home about. The bit of sauce in a tiny plastic cup served along with it was fairly good. The four Quesabirria Tacos came with chopped onion and cilantro on the side along with a tiny cup of some kind of sauce and a bowl of their consome or consomme. I have to tell you folks, these people really know how to prepare the consome the right way. It was "not" oily like so many other restaurants make it and it was full of flavor. Rate it an "A." The Quesabirria Tacos were full of shredded meat and melted cheese. The taco shells were not too oily and the flavor was very good. When dipped in the outstanding consome these were great tasting tacos. Rate them an "A." I must also note, they put a little cup of some kind of sauce on the taco plate. I tasted a tiny bit with the end of my fork and it was nasty. What the hell was that? I re-capped it and tossed it. I would rate the dining experience at Taqueria Chavez around Three and a Half Stars but the Birria and Consome are so good I must rate it Four Stars for the overall dining experience. The Birria Tacos are a FIVE STAR production. Not everything served here is outstanding but most of the food is pretty good. The Birria Tacos and consome are top drawer.

Honestly better than the reviews on Yelp. Got complimentary chips. The salsas were decent. The street tacos were good except for the tripe taco...skip the tripe. The birria tacos were AWESOME! Service was good and the restaurant was clean. Food was decently fast and affordable. Good roadside stop.

Always met with smiling faces. This is our for to stop for food on our way to visit family. Quesadilla Taco! Can we say amazing. Literally the best of two delicious menu items. There isn't much that I've tried that isn't good. I hope to see more locations around Las Cruces!

Taqueria Chavez is our goto taco place. Their tacos are always fresh and full of flavor. My son-in-law discovered the restaurant on his own exploring Las Cruces on a recent visit and ended up eating there every day. I highly recommend the birria tacos (they even have a keto version) as they are my favorite. It's been a challenge taking a picture of them because I haven't had the self control to not instantly dig in but I do have a picture of the tacos al pastor which are also great. We haven't eaten in the restaurant yet, but it's worth noting they have their own robot server that will bring your tacos to you. I look forward to checking it out in person because who doesn't want to eat tacos and pretend they're on the Starship Enterprise!
