I’ve been in this restaurant several times and so far my experience had been great. The tacos, quesadillas and burritos are good. The margaritas, coconut and on the rocks also are very good. The chips and salsa are very good. The music is great. A lot of Spanish classics of all times. Definitely recommend.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, Chapala Restaurant is a must-visit! Their homemade salsa is always fresh and flavorful, setting the perfect start to every meal. I've been here multiple times, and the consistency in quality and taste keeps me coming back. My go-to dish is the Fajitas Chapala, and it never disappoints—the shrimp, steak, and chicken are always fresh and perfectly cooked. Their chorizo appetizer and guacamole are also excellent, and if you’re a fan of mole sauce, theirs is rich and full of flavor. Beyond the food, the staff is incredibly friendly and professional, creating a welcoming atmosphere. They have music, a clean and inviting space, and spotless bathrooms. Plus, there's plenty of parking in the back, making it a convenient spot to enjoy a fantastic meal. Highly recommend Chapala for an authentic and enjoyable Mexican dining experience!

Excellent and authentic Mexican food from Puebla. Very clean and wait staff lovely. The corn tamales with chicken were perfect! Black bean soup was very tasty and not salty. Enchilada with tomatillo sauce was very good. Portions are huge. The mole sauce which they gave me a sample was really good. Great refried beans too! Highly recommend. Will be back again.
