" This place should be on everyone's dining list! It's small and cozy, with an inviting vibe. I order the tacos every time I come here, and each time they taste better than the last! I also love the homemade salsa - you can tell they care about their food quality. The portions are perfect, and never leave feeling hungry. On top of that, the staff is always so courteous. A definite must-try if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

Service has improved significantly over the last few months, which makes my visits much more enjoyable. Lastly, the prices are reasonable given the portion sizes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Chapalas is always delightful! I love the lively environment, which perfectly matches their vibrant dishes. I frequently try a variety of items, including their enchiladas and burritos – all worth every penny. Staff are usually welcoming and prompt in service but can have slow moments during peak hours. Nonetheless, for authentic Mexican cuisine, this is a solid choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The food lacked seasoning, and although the restaurant was clean, I expected better flavor from such well-reviewed dishes. Service was okay, but nothing memorable. I’m not sure I’d be back to give it another chance, which is a shame because the decor was cozy. Hopefully, others have a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants, but Chapalas takes the lead in authenticity. The entire menu reflects true Mexican home cooking which I adore. Their tamales are soft and delicious - completely homemade. The ambiance is simple but warm. The staff are welcoming, yet I found them a bit sparse at times which affected service speed. Overall, they have managed to create a gem of a spot with hearty portions and genuine food. I will certainly recommend this restaurant to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chapala has been my go-to Mexican spot for years. The al pastor tacos are unparalleled! You can taste the authenticity in every bite - the seasoning is just right. They also offer a delightful selection of salsas that you can customize your meal with. My only gripe is that sometimes the service can be hit or miss, especially during busy periods. But it's worth it for the quality of food. Whenever I'm craving Mexican cuisine, Chapala is on top of my list! " (*Curated Review*)
