Description

This Mexican restaurant rose from the ruins of perennial Soulard dive Mike & Min's, but it wasn't a bad trade-off at all. Chava's menu keeps things short and to the point: tacos, a fajita platter, a burrito, an enchilada, a tostada, etc. The fajita platter and its close appetizer cousins (fajita quesadilla and fajita nachos) are sizzling-steak standouts, as are tacos de Guadalajara, a pair of flash-fried flour tortillas clamped around seasoned ground beef, lettuce, tomato, onion and a clever blend of grated Monterey and Parmesan cheeses. Specify a fresh-fruit margarita and choose from ten different flavors.

    The last time I sat at a wrought-iron table outside the bar on the corner of Geyer and Tenth Street, I was there against my will. It was a Monday night. Earlier that evening, a friend had called and chided me — make that bullied me — into driving... More »

  • 2011 | Best Specialty Margarita

    Generally we are not fans of any margarita but the tradicional. Order a strawberry one, and we'll call you a sissy; order one with blue Curaçao and we'll laugh you out of the room. Don't even think about suggesting a frozen one! But all those maxims, we're pleased to report, fall away when we're at Chava's. At this Soulard Tex-Mex hotspot, the mango margaritas are to die for. Yes, they're frozen. And, yes, they're mango. They also happen to be so damn good that even margarita snobs... More »
