“ I thought I was walking in to Chako's to drop off a business card to possibly DJ there. The flashing lights zapped my eyes when I made the entrance; I only made it halfway (?) to the bar before Jacob (a consultant for and friend of the bar) pulled me aside for some decidedly light hearted conversation under the lasers and lights at Chako's. Jacob asked who I was etc., and then proceeded to discuss his cultural background, joke extensively about planing events, music, and self promotion. He flagged down Abraham, the lead bartender, during his jocular talk with me & ordered two whiskeys. I drank shot number 1. Jacob asked me countless riotously funny questions about DJing. For example: Do I have tons of ladies following me 24/7 because of all the dope beats I play, etc.? I said that DJing does not quite work like that, and he said then you need to play more bangers, party jams etc. (He laughed or smiled during 99% of the conversation--a total comedian.) He began explaining that he sells happiness & experiences, but before he could finish the thought he got distracted by a golden retriever a regular had in their booth. Jacob started bobbing and weaving in front of the golden retriever. The dog leapt into a full blown play fight with Jacob. Jumping at Jacob's chest and faux chomping his wrists whenever Jacob threw a jab at the dog. A miniature mock prize fight unfolded between hound and man as the party lights danced about them. A risible spectacle. Jacob stopped playing with the dog, returned to the bar, and ordered himself and me a second shot of whiskey. He swiftly downed his glass. I paused with mine for a moment, so he offered me a generous handful of orange slices from the bar. I ate the oranges and drank the shot. Before the conversation could resume, someone from the staff asked to speak with Jacob for 5 minutes. The team member and Jacob both walked to a more private section of Chako's. I shifted my attention to Abraham. Thanked him for the drinks. Abraham maintained an extremely stoic and professional demeanor. I shook hands with Suzy, a manager, on my way out. Then I made my way to the main exit. What a bar. ”

“ If you are looking for party vibes and brunch this is the spot. The brunch menu is small but the food was really good. I got the French toast which was good and I love that it came with eggs and a protein. I also got to try the Chilaquiles with green salsa which has a good flavor and a little spicy. I loved the bottomless mimosas and the big screen tvs showing the football games! ”

“ Great atmosphere, good food, accommodating staf. If you like watching UFC, it's the best place in North OC. ”

“ Came here to try out their $10 endless tacos. They were great. We added the bacon potato skins, those were my fave. So many great crafted cocktails to try but the Hennessy strawberry lemonade and Hennessy margarita were my favorite. It wasn't packed but should've been. The music was on point. It's right on the corner. Dope spot for real. There's inside and outside seating. ”

“ Well, this looks like it would be super fun to come here when there is entertainment. The atmosphere was super loud and a bit wild, but we made reservations online and when we got here, it was fight night! Hahahaha! We almost left, but the dashingly handsome manager let us stay to eat without paying the "fight night charge" of $10 each. The food is good, although it is not a big menu. The drinks I tried, the spicy passionfruit margarita, and the Mejores Amigos, were yummy, but not at all strong g. So, for $28 I felt like I didn't have a drink yet. lol The mediterranean flatbread was piled with goodness, lots of flavor and fresh ingredients. It was fabulous. The ceviche de mar was good, but not the best I've had. Too mild with no heat at all, but fresh and juicy. We might come back, but maybe not. ”
