Second visit : Chicken Fajitas and mix Fajitas. Tasty as the first time . Again, I would have patience since they do need another Frontline employee to help with orders , drink refills , etc . The food taste great but as long as you are patient you will enjoy the meal and have plenty leftovers . First time at this resteraunt . The food was excellent and plenty of it . We had shrimp fajitas, chicken fajitas, pupousas, plantains, and more than enough food for 3 large to go containers afterward . The only thing that would make it better if they had a dedicated waiter for table areas only but we still got our food in the time promised . This central American resteraunt is worth a try . See pics .

I have not had Pupusas in forever and came across this place so thought I would give them a try! They did not disappoint. The restaurant is decorated nice, the customer service is on point and the food is amazing! Quality ingredients and made fresh then and there. Love it definitely will be back for more :)

The food here is definitely tasty! We ordered a lot to try and to take the rest home. There was a bit of a wait for your food, and the soda comes as a can, but it was worth it.

This restaurant was certainly needed in Front Royal. Everything we have ordered has been amazing. We like to try places a few times before leaving reviews. They're consistently excellent. The tacos are heavy and the pupusas are authentic. The soups are some of the best in town. Don't let the price of the soups sway you. They're huge bowls. We're talking Pyrex large mixing bowl size. Enjoy this new gem in town. Also, they're as affordable as the taco truck across town.

The food here is amazing! It was the best quesabirra taco I've had. The portions are large enough for 2 meals. The prices are very resonable.

Been meaning to stop in to Mama Chave since they opened. We tried a few different items. Everything was unique and tasty. The portions were huge, and we ended up getting 2 more meals out of the order. That said, that makes the prices a very good value. The service was fast and friendly. We will definitely return.
