" Wow! That was an amazing experience at Chapala! The minute you step in, you’re welcomed by the colorful decor and lively music that makes you feel as if you are in Mexico. I ordered the steak fajita bowl and it was packed with flavor, the steak was perfectly cooked! My partner had the birria tacos, which were also incredible. The staff was friendly and quick to refill our drinks. This is definitely my new go-to place! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is decent, but I wouldn’t rate it as authentic as some other Mexican spots I’ve tried in Ann Arbor. I ordered the enchiladas, and while they were good, they lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. The service was a bit slow, and we felt a bit rushed to finish our meal. The atmosphere is nice, though, and it's a fun place to hang out if you’re looking for a casual night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chapala has a lot to offer! The selection of dishes is quite extensive and I love the lively environment. The Chile rellenos I had were very well prepared and filled with flavor. The only downside was the slightly slow service, but the atmosphere and food quality made it worth it. Will return soon to try more menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chapala is a hidden gem! The flavors of their dishes transport you straight to Mexico! My friends and I visited for dinner, and every dish we tried was superb. The birria tacos were to die for, and their house margaritas perfectly complemented the meal. The only downside was that it got a little crowded, and we had to wait for a table. But the wait was worth it! I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chapala impressed me! The fajitas were sizzling when they arrived and packed with flavor. The margaritas were also delicious, but a tad on the expensive side. It tended to get a bit noisy later on, which made it hard to have a conversation. Overall a great experience, and I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chapala is a great restaurant, but I found the service lacking during my visit. We waited quite a bit before getting drinks, and our initial server seemed overwhelmed. However, the enchiladas were delicious, well-spiced, and satisfying. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful, which I love! I'd be willing to give it another try to see if service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Chapala! The margaritas were huge and very tasty. I ordered the flautas and they were crispy and flavorful. The music created such a fun environment. Even though it was busy, the staff kept up with drink refills and we were very well taken care of. I highly recommend Chapala if you're looking for a fun night out! " (*Curated Review*)
