Sketchy Service

It was an interesting experience as they tried to charge a different (higher) price than the menu, which I pointed out and the manager overheard. At first he said the menu price was for a single, rather than double enchilada combo, then he changed his mind and never making eye contact told the server he would take care of it. So I got a usual two enchilada combo for a usual price with unusual awkward if not unfriendly service, but the food itself was good enough. As I was leaving their business seemed to be picking up so and they seemed more friendly so maybe their karma improved?

Pros: Convenient location

Cons: Poor service

3 plus stars and we will come back again.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chico's Tacos during a visit to Havasu for a Balloon festival, and it was a delightful experience. As a vegan, I often find it challenging to discover suitable options in certain locations, but Chico's Tacos had a surprisingly good selection.

The atmosphere at the restaurant was fantastic, and we opted to sit on the full bar side, adding to the overall enjoyable vibe. I decided to be a bit adventurous and ordered the pineapple jalapeño margarita, and I must say it was a must-try! The perfect blend of pineapple sweetness and jalapeño spice made for a refreshing and unique drink.

The Salsa Bar at Chico's Tacos was a highlight, offering a variety of options, and the chips served were light and crispy – a perfect accompaniment. For our main course, we both opted for the veggie burritos, essentially bean burritos with rice. Adding a little salsa elevated the flavors, and we had a truly satisfying dinner.

Being a vegan who often rates five stars exclusively for vegan restaurants on platforms like Happy Cow, giving a non-vegan restaurant like Chico's Tacos a three is still a great endorsement. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have the menu clearly marked with plant-based options and perhaps expand the selection for vegans.

The service at Chico's Tacos was friendly and prompt, contributing to an overall positive dining experience. Despite the minor suggestions, we are definitely planning to come back again. Kudos to Chico's Tacos for offering vegan-friendly options and creating an enjoyable atmosphere for all diners!

Pros: Bar area is perfect for sit down meals , Salsa Bar, Waitress was incredible

Cons: Would like to see plant based noted on menu , Need more options

Delicious, satisfying meal

Enjoyed my meal here. Watch out ~ it seems things have changed. Rice has chicken broth. I would verify ingredients before placing order. No need to order Enchilada-style, as the green salsa referred to in other reviews is part of the salsa bar, so you can serve yourself as much as you like without getting charged for it. I asked the staff if the rice and beans were vegan, and she said, "I think so." I had to ask if she could find out. Good thing I did, because of the rice. The beans are vegan according to her. All of the salsa, pico, limes, onions, etc. at the salsa bar are very good.

Pros: Satisfying burrito, Salsa bar

Cons: Staff not versed in vegan options / ingredients

Are you certain? One of the waitresses is vegetarian here, and she said that they use plant based broth for the rice.
I'm fairly sure it's fine, but as of me checking again it seems to be fine.

The salsa bar is a great tip to save a bit on the burrito!

That was true in Apr 2023 ~ I would not make that up😉 I'm glad to hear it has changed since then.

Chico's has Fantastic Wet Burritos

If you're looking for a great vegan wet burrito, this is the place in Havasu to go.

Order the Enchilada style vegetarian burrito without cheese. Make sure to use the green salsa sauce! The other green sauce IS NOT VEGAN.

It was so good that I got a second one to go.

Pros: Good prices, Huge portions, Great atmosphere

Cons: Few options
