" Chapala Express has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The quesabirria is excellent, and the staff makes you feel like family! I’ve gone several times now, and the quality of food is consistent. If there’s ever a long wait, it’s just proof that the food is worth it! I must say, their guacamole is also a must-try. If you're looking for authentic flavors in a relaxed setting, this is the place to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chapala Express truly felt like a hidden gem! Authentic flavors in all their dishes, especially their tacos. I just wish the seating area was bigger. I ordered multiple items and didn’t find one I didn’t like. It’s definitely a place I’ll frequent! If you're in the area, make sure to stop by. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed during my visit last Saturday. The tacos I ordered were dry, and the service could have been better. I expected more based on previous reviews. While it wasn’t a total loss, I would consider trying another restaurant next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! I love how they make their enchiladas, they remind me of my grandmother's. Great portions, too! Sometimes there’s a bit of a wait, but I'm used to that with good food. The staff is generally friendly but can be a little rushed when it’s busy. Overall, very satisfying experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many taco spots, but Chapala Express has something truly special. Their salsa is amazing, especially the green avocado one, and the tacos were fresh and packed with flavor. While the restaurant is small, it adds to its charm. I will definitely be back to enjoy more delicious meals! " (*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*)
