" I went to Chapala Express last Friday after reading online that they have amazing birria tacos. They were right! The tacos were juicy and the consommé was delicious. I even shared some with my friends, and they loved them too! Service was quick and the staff were friendly. Only downside was the small space, but that just means it’s popular! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Chapala Express for the first time last week with my family, and it was a pleasant surprise! The carne asada burrito was packed with flavor and very generous in size. The staff were incredibly welcoming and polite, even offered us tips on how to customize our orders. Although the place was bustling, we barely waited for our food. Overall, a fantastic experience, I’ll definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations because of the great reviews, but my experience was mixed. The tacos were good but not mind-blowing as I expected. The chips were fresh, but the salsa lacked a bit of seasoning. Service was prompt, yet the dining area was cramped. I’d say it’s worth a shot for authenticity but maybe not my top choice in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the nachos for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Triada of flavors with a great portion size. The meat and toppings were plentiful, making for an enjoyable meal. Service was quick and friendly, but be aware that there could be a wait during peak hours. Would certainly recommend it to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place based on its reputation, and while it was decent, it wasn't anything extraordinary. The quesadilla was good, but I wouldn’t say it was the best. The service was friendly, but it took time for our food to get out. I might give it another chance, but I was slightly let down. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall a decent experience. The food was good, but I expected more flavor after reading all the reviews. I ordered the carne asada burrito, but it was just okay. Service was friendly, but I think the place has potential to improve if they pay attention to seasoning. I would give it another try, but it won’t be at the top of my list. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had to stop by after craving some authentic Mexican food, and Chapala Express did not let me down! The tacos perron were excellent, filled with fresh ingredients, and the red salsa was just spicy enough. I also loved the homey vibe it had, though it filled up quickly. Service was cheerful, which made the experience even better. I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
