CharroVida

An amazing dining experience from the service to the food to the ambiance!! Thanks so much!!

We came here for the first time in February 2024 and enjoyed what I'd only call **out of this WORLD** tacos. Cauliflower pastor, chicken pastor, carne asada with grass-fed beef, mushroom mixta. I eat tacos everywhere I go in Arizona and this place had my personal favorite tacos in the entire state. Never been more satisfied!So we returned in December 2024 and I was so saddened to see a revised menu with seemingly no a la carte tacos!!! Still, there were plenty of delicious, healthy choices with lots of green and veggie side options - which you typically don't see with Mexican food and flavors, but which still went beautifully with our meals. I only wish they still had TACOS!The atmosphere was warm and inviting both times, and servers kept our drinks coming while we waited for our food. The staff in February was wonderful and on top of every little issue, whereas on this one night in December they seemed a bit harried. But hey, the holidays can do that to you. Love CharroVida and can't wait to go back!

I recently grabbed a build-your-own bowl for lunch, and it was ready in no time. I went with cilantro white rice, mesquite salmon, black beans, and street corn--absolutely delicious! The flavors were fresh and well balanced.I also picked up a Corazón Cooler to go. While it was still tasty, it seemed noticeably smaller than the one I had when dining at the restaurant.

My first time here. Had take out, which was good. The chicken was a bit dry, but acceptable.After I tipped 20% on a takeout order the next line asked for $2 for the cooks, which I did.But, being asked to give $2 to the cooks, especially after already tipping 20% on a to go order was irritating and negatively influenced my overall experience dining here. Attention management, if you read these: asking a customer to pay your cooks is not OK.

Another awesome experience here! This time we ordered off the Valentines Day menu. The hemp tamale dish was incredible! I love that they have so many vegan choices. I wish the lighting was a little dimmer in the main dining area. It was too bright for me. I like when restaurants are a little darker with candles on the table, but maybe that's just me.

The decor is very upscale and there was a live guitarist playing near the front door which added to the ambience and is much better that's the too loud strolling mariachis that some Mexican restaurants employ. We started with a mocktail ( excellent), and the guaco-hummus dish which is highly recommended. Is comes with roasted chickpeas, watermelon radish and cucumbers, though plantain chips were mentioned on teh menu but we only got corn tortilla chips. The chopped salad is also very good, loads of toppings. I had a red chili hemp tamale and corn and green chili tamale with whole black beans and cilantro rice, very good and healthy. Hubby had the shrimp enchiladas and was disappointed that there was way too much cheese and he likes cheese. Overall I would go back but skip the enchiladas.

Great food, we really enjoyed brunch. So much so I forgot to take a picture!!! Great service and a cute vibe makes this place a go to!

There's something for everyone here. My brother who is vegan and myself- gluten-free, were both able to find great entrées. We had excellent service in a very inviting atmosphere.

We had dinner at CharroVida to check out their new menu, and enjoyed our meal of both some old favorites and new options. We started with chips and salsa, then had Brussels and Shishitos, Yuca Street Fries, and the Pollo Al Pastor. It was all delicious! I, for one, am very enamored of the yuca fries here. They're satisfyingly crispy like thinner French fries, but have the earthy heartiness of a wedge cut potato. Topped with chickpea chorizo, peppers, and onions? That's a can't-miss combo! The Pollo Al Pastor is a huge portion of chicken, so bring your appetite! The new dinner entrees are pricier than the old menu, but the portions and quality are definitely there.

Not returning We just had dinner here and all of us were disappointed. The food was eh. Their hamburger was in pieces, brussel sprouts poorly cooked, enchiladas were a mess etc etc.We will not return. It's a shame the menu itself looked good.
