Girlfriends and I went to Chavas for lunch today, and it was my first time there.. One of the girls got a salad, I saw the chimichanga, and had to give it a try. It came either with pork or chicken, and all I really wanted was ground beef, so they substituted ground beef for me. While we waited, I can say that their fresh salsa was perhaps the best I've had in all of St. Louis that I can remember. Once my chimichanga arrived, my mouth was watering, and my eyes were very happy.
The chimichanga had a nice crispy light crust, lettuce on the side, with fresh guacamole and sour cream on top. A bed of rice was on one side, with a bed of beans on the other. Everything was amazing!! I couldn't eat it all, so I get to enjoy it again at home.
The wall had many awards from recent years as the best Mexican restaurant in St. Louis.... Well Deserved!!! Well Deserved!!!
I will be back to try many of their other items... I just wish they were closer to Chesterfield.
