Special Hours for the World Cup!

Hola Amigos,

The biggest match of the year is this Sunday, July 19th, and we will have special hours for our Chalos Taraval (https://maps.app.goo.gl/YbU4iQiyiz6ArmvAA) location and opening up early to celebrate!

Whether you want to watch the game with us or grab the ultimate takeout spread for your couch, we have you covered.

🇦🇷 Special Hours: 9:00 AM – End of the Game
We are opening our doors early at 9:00 AM and staying open until the final whistle blows.*
🏆 The Game-Day Lineup (Dine-In or To-Go)
The #10 Messi Special (https://square.link/u/eaMgt36w) : Get 10 of our signature empanadas (mix & match) + 3 churros sticks with dulce de leche.
The Matchup: Pair them with an ice-cold Quilmes b**r and finish strong with our fresh, piping hot churros.

🚨 TWO THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:

1. RSVP to Secure a Cozy Spot (Extremely Limited Seating!)
Since we are your neighborhood coffee shop and not a massive sports bar, we are keeping the vibe low-key, relaxed, and casual. It's the perfect spot if you want to watch the game on a smaller screen with a great coffee (or a Quilmes!) without the chaotic, loud crowds. Because our seating is highly limited, please let us know you're coming.
👉 [Click Here to RSVP for the Watch Party] (https://forms.gle/FD9CFXKPXZYM5G7K9)

2. Pre-Order Your Game-Day Food
Watching from home? We anticipate a busy morning for takeout and will sell out of empanadas (and other goodies). Don’t risk an empty plate at halftime—secure your Messi Special (https://square.link/u/eaMgt36w) (or any food in general) ahead of time!
👉 [Click Here to Pre-Order Your Food] (make sure to select Taraval location)

*Full menu available until supplies last. Again, we do anticipate high volume orders so please pre-order to secure your food.

We’ll see you Sunday morning for empanadas, coffee, and football!

Cheers,

The Chalos Team

Want to guarantee your favorites? Preorder today!

We’ll have our full menu available while supplies last, but we do anticipate high volume and have a hard cap on what our kitchen can produce. Preordering is the only way to make sure we don't sell out on you!
