Very great food here I've been to this place about 3 times now and the food has always met my standards for authentic Mexican/Salvadorean food. The 1st and 2nd time I got the bean and cheese pupusas. But, this 3rd time I decided to get the birria pizza and it was amazing. A bit pricey but trust me it's worth it you can feed a whole family with it. I am very impressed as a San Jose native I would've never thought a place like Maryland had such good Mexican cuisine.
I ordered a beef soup, DELICIOUS. The tortillas are made of corn and you can savour the homemade, the best beef soup I've ever eaten👌

El Chaparral Mexican Restaurant is a well-liked local eatery known for its lively atmosphere with loud music and friendly service. The menu features popular dishes such as wet style burritos, pupusas, tacos, and now includes Birrias Quesadilla and chicken quesadillas, all made with fresh ingredients. The pupusas are specifically noted for their delicious taste and crispy texture. The horchata and jalapeños also received positive comments for their flavor and freshness. Many customers find the food to be authentic and of good quality, with large portions and a good amount of cheese. However, some diners have noted that the balada dish can be too salty and the environment can be a bit loud and distracting due to bright flashing lights. While the food is praised, some reviews mention that the pricing can be on the higher side, with drinks and certain dishes noted to be slightly expensive. Despite these minor issues, many customers express their intent to return for the tasty food and enjoyable service, which treats guests like family.
