Chachos
Mexican Grill and Cantina reminds me of the old days when I used to visit my grandma’s
house and she would make me a huge plate of some genuine Mexican cuisine. It
just has that kind of Mexican home feeling to it. Which if you didn’t grow up
with a big Mexican family always running in and out of the kitchen throwing
together taco and enchilada plates then I can understand how maybe you don’t see
the correlation. It’s a place with a pleasant environment that you can kick
your feet up!
Chacho’s Mexican Grill and
Cantina is a great place for UTSA students to check out. If you’ve ever been to
Chachos the first thing you might think of could be the Monster Kong Nachos which
is a nacho plate stacked higher than belief with bean & cheese, picadillo
beef, shredded chicken, chicken & carbon (mesquite) beef fajitas nachos,
served w/queso, guacamole & sour cream. General Manager Jay Larzelere says
people come from all over Texas to visit one of their 6 locations and try out
their Monster Kong Nachos. He personally recommends the sloppy burrito with
melted chili con queso saying it is by far his favorite item on the menu and
everyone should give it a try.
All 6 locations are open 24/7 with
daily lunch specials from 11-3 and their most popular hours being 7-10 p.m.
daily. Some of their most popular items on the menu are their specialty margaritas
and around these times there are tons of UTSA students that decide to come in
and have a drink or two. Mr. Larzelere says their margaritas are their most
popular items to people over 21.
Chacho’s has been around since the
early 90’s with the location at i-10 and Callaghan being the first location
ever opened, and the 2nd location being the one off of Bandera. So
obviously Chacho’s Mexican Cantina is San Antonio born and raised. I’m not even
from San Antonio and I know how amazing Chacho’s is for this place.
I asked Mr. Larzelere if he had one
thing that he wanted UTSA students to know about Chacho’s what would it be and
he specifically focused on how great the food was for the price and not only
how great it was but how much you get for how much you are paying. “you just
can’t beat the value of our Nachos…if you were to go somewhere else you’d be
paying $10 for a plate of nachos. Here at Chacho’s you can get a bigger plate
than at most other places for 7 bucks!
