They said they were closed at 7:30 just because they didn't want to serve us. 30 minutes is plenty of time id be out of there in 20

We absolutely LOVE this restaurant. We eat here approximately 2-3 times per month. The food is outstanding as well as the staff. The ambiance is calm and pretty quiet, clean, and has nice decor. Highly recommend!!

The place gave me an authentic feel to Mexican style and Cuisine, the servers were very professional and friendly and they were very clean. I will end up going back to this restaurant when I'm in the area.

El Chápala is your typically Mexican restaurant, with all the normal options. The salsa was very good, and worth coming back for. Our group had an odd experience however that takes away from the overall rating. During dinner a wet ceiling tile fell on our group and multiple plates. The workers didn’t seem overly concerned about it, and just brought a new plate of food after we decided to move ourselves to another table. No free meals were given, nor was any sympathy offered. That’s not good customer service. Not to mention I’m sure we could have made a big deal about the incident.Overall the food here is good, salsa is great, but customer service is lacking.

My family had lunch here while on vacation. Great homestyle Mexican food, very reasonable and delicious. Modest interior but clean and friendly. Lots of working folks came in for lunch. A secret jewel.

Worst Mexican food I've had! The staff are very cold. Not worth stopping here! Told them about our experience and they didn't even acknowledge what I said. STAY DAR AWAY!!!!

Excellent food! You’re treated to complimentary chips and salsa when you sit down. The red salsa was more flavorful to me than the brown but both are decent. The enchiladas were delicious and the perfect size. The margarita was also a flavorful margarita- beware: the medium is quite
