Chavas Mexican Restaurant

This is one of those hole in the wall places that people travel to for great food and friendly service. You'll see that the locals have no problem overlooking the condition of the building as they keep the crew busy with both eat in and take out meals. The worn out building may have you worried about cleanliness, but if there are any lulls in customers, staff can be found cleaning. The tamale lunch plate was delicious! Though it only has two tamales, with rice and beans, I was definitely satisfied. The size of the meal was ample for the price. They have deserts. I enjoyed the cheesecake. For some great authentic Mexican food, overlook the run down building and fixtures and savor the delicious food!

We drove around town to see the old buildings. Mostly crumbling, vacant structures with faded signs painted on the building’s exterior bricks. The logos once proudly announced the owner’s name and services. Essential then, now ancient. Sad. We imagined what the town was like, when oil was life in Oklahoma. The buildings then housed businesses that employed many, put food on the table and provided opportunities for several generations. Yale, a living ghost town now. The massive building has a Spanish architectural hint and colors that suggests, Mexican food can be found here. It is now Chava’s. It covers almost a city block. This place probably rocked in the old days. The parking lot being full of oilfield worker’s trucks at noon during the week and family cars on the weekend. Now well wor

Wi-Fi went down and half our order got deleted so things were slow coming out half of our group got food before the other half. They were very nice I would go again.

Good quality food and generous portions. Always end up here after the lunch rush and there is only one person serving and being cashier, if you have time that's not a problem, just a heads up. All in all, a great place to eat. The sopapillas are excellent!

The horchata hit the spot on a 100° degree then the chips with guac and spicy sauces began to whet my appetite. As a finale, the Fajita Enchilada took the whole experience home! Overall this was a great meal for a fair price!
