Chapala Family Mexican Restaurant

Maybe don't accept take out orders if you're swamped. Had me waiting an hour for food that they didn't even start on. Lazy teens work at this place and their food is only good when you're drunk, and don't taste how stale the chips are. Won't be eating here anymore, quality and service has gone down hill.

Waited atleast 15 minutes for someone to come ask for drinks even though the restaurant was empty. Waitress didn’t advise of options like hard or soft shell, black beans or refried, I had to ask. Salsa tasted like a whole bottle of chili powder fell into it. Chips were stale and old. The waitress was standoffish and super rude. I could deal with the crappy food but the service was beyond awful. I wouldn’t waste my time.

Everyone was very friendly. I'm originally from Waterloo & moved to Denver Colorado 42 years ago. I come home to visit family often and love Mexican food. So when my husband & I came for a family emergency this restaurant was a gem of a find. And Jael our wait staff was so friendly and took time to explain the menu. She's been working at this family owned restaurant for 13 years. We wish we had took pics of this delicious food. My husband order seconds of the refried beans & rice he's never even done that anywhere ??. If u live here n the 'loo & luv Mexican food & haven't treated yourself, family or friends to this place you're missing out?? Reasonably priced ?We don't think u can go wrong on wherever u order, that's to include their margaritas?

Food was flavorless and sad, my family got birria tacos (not tasty) i don't know how many times i had to put salt on my food and their so called broth to make it taste some what better. The margaritas were undrinkable you might as well just go buy a bottle of tequila and drink at home if that's what you are looking for! It will probably be even cheaper too. Service was super slow and it wasn't busy at all. This restaurant is struggling so much and you can see it on their menus, decor, and the whole restaurant. They are just like every Mexican restaurant in town same dishes, same drinks, etc.. we ended up driving down the street to get Macdonald after.

$5 price increase on a single entree.

$25 for an entree at a casual Mexican restaurant.

Save your money and go elsewhere... This place must really be struggling (can't even afford new menus to go with their 25% price increase either, very classy).

We used to come here all the time but when we came back recently the food was bland and service was slow (not busy in the restaurant, we think the server forgot to put our order in) there was no guacamole on either of our dishes but the waitress didn't mention being out. Two different drinks were completely flat/watery.They charged the full 3.50 for my kid's drink and gave her a giant glass with no lid (she's 4!) If you have a kid's meal a smaller drink (cheaper) should be offered! As it stands it was over $11 for 1/3 glass of lemonade, a few fries and one half a tortilla with cheese inside.

I thought the music was plenty loud. We usually have great service there but tonight, the waitress seemed like she was too busy with other customers to give us much attention. It didn't seem to be busy there. Might have just been an off night. I don't know.In my opinion, the chips always taste stale.
