Didn’t have a great experience the first time I tried this place but I thought I’d give it another go. It was worse the 2nd time. Waited over an hour to get our food in a restaurant that only had 3 tables seated. Asked for some chips and salsa to munch on while we waited and when the food did finally come it was mediocre at best. When we got the bill they charged $15 for chips and salsa! Won’t return

Attempting to support local restaurant, we were around the corner at soccer game and brought in 3 families of cousins (party of 12)6 adults and 6 kids. As we entered there was only one other table of 4 Seated. Excited thinking it was a safe choice and we would be able to get in and out. Our food took almost an hour to come to the table. Zero accommodations offered during the delay. Kids getting restless waiting for food I finally asked to f we could get some chips or something while we waited. Response was sure and chips and salsa were brought out fairly quickly. My iced tea was not refilled even

We stopped in to try this place and the restaurant itself is quite nice. The lighting and decor is nice to look at. The service was friendly and attentive. I do appreciate their menu. They have lots of dishes that most places don’t serve.
The majority of the food was above average with a couple dishes that stood out. The refried beans and rice are about on par with most places, probably slightly better. I got the red enchiladas, which were rather dry (not much sauce) and didn’t bring much flavor. Maybe with some salsa on the side it would be better. They were one of the cheapest items on the

I've been back to La Chata many times since my last review and always have a pleasant experience with great conversation, authentic food and top-notch drinks (their margaritas are my favorite in the area).
Tonight, I got to try the featured entree Birria de Res which is beef served in a well-seasoned stew broth, tortillas, beans, cilantro, and lime meant to create your own tacos. The meat was tender and delicious and the beans are the only beans I've ever liked! It was the perfect meal on a cold winter night.
For dessert, my husband and I shared the Torta de Elote which is a warm corn cake topped

If you have not had the pleasure of trying the food at La Chata, you are missing out. Normally my go to is the carnitas. However, they recently added birria to the menu and it it definitely a must try. You can get it as a taco or as a platter (Birria de Res). The platter is served with birria in consomme with tortillas, beans, onion, cilantro and lime on the side. The meat is tender and the consomme is flavorful and warming.
We finished off dinner with the sweet corn cake (Torta de Elote). It is served warm with a scoop of ice cream. The cake and ice cream are topped with chocolate sauce and a
