Chavo, Lake Mary

Beginning with traditional recipes, Chavo takes Mexican cuisine in a new direction by using inventive flavor combinations to elevate otherwise familiar dishes. This innovative approach is evident in the menu's selection of guacamole—from charred scallions and cumin to smoked salmon and meyer lemon—alongside tacos with butter-poached lobster and lime aioli or the rib-eye steak with oyster mushrooms and bone-marrow salsa. To accompany these dishes, Chavo features a curated selection of tequilas and hand-crafted cocktails made with fresh ingredients. Diners can enjoy a drink while relaxing at the bar or sitting at one of the stout wooden tables surrounded by mission-style chairs and hominy-filled bean bags.
