I've never been to this location, I will make it a point to do so again. The gentleman that greeted me at the door is just absolutely wonderful. I placed an order to go and this guy got me to order a margarita while I waited. It was delicious and while I waited I watched. He made children smile and parents happy. Many a customer hugged him on the way out. I recommend this amazing place. Thank you!

If you want a spot in Boise that genuinely hits that sweet spot between Northwest comfort and Mexico-style flavor, Chapala on Vista is it. I lived in Mexico for 14 months, so I’m picky about the basics—seasoning, sauces, and whether the food tastes cooked with intention—and Chapala consistently delivers.

Their menu goes way beyond “standard combo plates.” The Carne Asada y Mas is a standout when you want that classic grilled steak plate done right,...

Wonderful server.
Small portion of chips. Extra available for purchase.
Quick delivery of food.
Small issue with hardshell tacos served on rice or beans and they fall apart before gets to mouth. Frustrating and difficult for kids.
Shredded chicken taco was dry.
Carne asada was great, portion of tortillas too small.
Beans were great like someone's mother made.
Kids found salsa too spicy.
No sour cream...
