Jose is a chill dude, the nachos are massive portions, and the prices aren't bad. Since moving to the area for an assignment, we started looking for some good Mexican food. Being from Texas, we are admittedly a bit picky, but Mama Chavez manages to deliver. If you are a new resident, are passing through, or you are a local oldie and just haven't tried them yet...well, I think it's time to make a stop!

This was outstanding home style Mexican food at its best. It was as if mama Chavez invited us into her kitchen and served a meal - her sons were super hospitable and friendly. It was good value for money and it sure was tasty. Nachos and quesadillas were great - and the churros with caramel was a good surprise and done spectacularly well. We loved it. They only take cash - so go prepared. They have an ATM on premises which charges some insane fees

This is a GEM! Must stop to enjoy. (Homemade hot sauce warning to all) Went back for my bday and notice many new items on the menu I need to try. Of course I wanted everything 5*s My Favorite is the Street Toco combo with fresh guacamole and the Fiesta Bowl. Don't forget to try the Dessert Empanadas

Delicious food, great service and atmosphere! They even stayed open late so that we could get our food. Check out their Facebook page for updated information and specials. Don't forget to bring cash to pay or use the ATM in their lobby and try the dessert empanadas on Fridays!

Mama Chavez's Taqueria in Leroy, New York is simply amazing. From the excellent service at the counter, to fresh and delicious cooking in the kitchen, to fantastic food at the table, I really enjoyed my Saturday afternoon dinner here. The family is pleasant and generous, and the food delivers. The salsa was a bit different than what I am used to, but was really fresh and good. I need to try it again. I really liked it. The tacos are crisp and light. Best chips I've had in Western New York. Salsa might be too. Highly recommend. Flavor and value make this place among the best in Central to Western NY.

We were in the area and randomly picked a restaurant...this was fabulous! Small town, personal service, excellent food. I can’t have tomatoes so no salsa for me, but the waiter assured me the guacamole had no tomatoes in it. It was the most flavorful guacamole ever!!! I got the veggie bowl, the veggies were raw (not sauteed in tons of oil), those raw jalapenos were it!!. Great flavor, quick service. My husband got the “El Jefe” burritto. It was huge!! You should get it. Picture of the Nachos as well.... Thank you Mama Chavez and family for an excellent lunch!!
