Chayo has an amazing ambience with the option to sit outside or inside, either way there is plenty of fresh air as the entrance is entirely open.
We were seated promptly and our drink orders were taken. They brought wrong drink but we didn't mind so much. Then we ordered guacamole as an appetizer; it came with cheese on top which my husband doesn't eat and they immediately noticed us picking it off and offered to bring a fresh order and more chips in addition to the original order. Extra guac for free?? Unheard of!
Our orders took a little longer to come out and while we waited we were entertained by a group of friends competing on the mechanical bull. There was loud music playing but we were still easily able to talk and hear each other. The walls were decorated with colorful sculls and crosses.
I ordered the shrimp burrito, and sadly I was disappointed. I don't feel that the beans went with the shrimp and it could have used a white sauce instead of green. The flavor ended up being a bit bland, and there could have been more shrimp.
Overall I was very pleased with the friendly service and experience m, but the food could definitely be improved.
