Taco Tuesday! $2.20 tacos 4 choices of meat (carne asada, pastor, pollo, carnitas) I got pastor and it was really good. Good flavor and nice crunchy char bits. I'll definitely come back for Taco Tuesdays. They also offer taco Tuesday to-go.

When I got to Chapala I was not sure what to expect. The place looks new and is very clean. Not the hole in the wall spots I am used to: There were some of my favorites like a seafood molcajete, Mojarra frita, and tacos de tripa. So we decided on those items except the Mojarra was a la diabla. As a spicy food lover with most places not at all touching my spice limits the Mojarra was the best I've ever had. The tacos de tripa were very good but with the red sauce on the side there a complexity of flavors I have never tasted for such a simple dish. The seafood molcajete was yet another homerun. The sauces here are one of a kind. They are rich, savory, and spicy. I will be coming back again… and again… and again. Also, this is at 810 Tennant Station not Tennant Ave. Right next to the theater in the Safeway parking lot. Directions on your phone may lead you behind a church.

I recently dined at this new Mexican restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a vibrant yet cozy ambiance that made for the perfect dining setting. The food was absolutely delicious—starting with the fresh, crispy chips and flavorful salsa that had just the right amount of kick. I ordered the molcajete, and it was a showstopper! The sizzling mix of meats, vegetables, and rich, savory sauce was packed with bold flavors and served in a traditional stone bowl that kept everything hot and delicious. To complement the meal, I had a sangria margarita, and it was the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and refreshing. The service was attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for authentic Mexican flavors with great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, this spot is definitely worth a visit!
