    Surprisingly delicious! Looks like a storefront with authentic pictures posted on windows.
    Busy for a Friday lunch but was seated quickly.
    The only negative thing they don't fry their own tortillas for tacos.
    Otherwise very good and I'll return.

    Classic Mexican food! Love the inside decor and very friendly staff. The veggie enchilada or the tacos or any kind are the best!

    Vert good food, large portions, priced right.  Attentio to service was great as well.  Had the pork carnitas, very flavorful with warm tortillas.  Great place to meet with a friend and chat for a while.

    If you're looking for authentic mexican food, look no further. This place is awesome. They serve chips with salsa & beans when you sit down, sooo yummy ! There is a huge variety to choose from & the dishes taste so authentic. Our server was running around like a mad man working the entire restaurant by himself! He was doing a marvelous job, was on top of everything, all while being extremely friendly! I loved the vibe, food & service.

    We absolutely adore Chapalas. The food is always consistent - always tasty, hot and freshly made - and the service is impeccable - every single time. We always go to the Vista Chapalas, where they remember us every time we come through the door, which is a feat since they tend to be busy and have a lot of customers.

    Prices are reasonable and you get freshly made salsa, beans and chips almost as soon as you sit down. I dig the atmosphere too; makes me feel as though I'm back in Mexico. The plates are large, so if you don't have a huge appetite, consider splitting one of the combo meals and you'll be plenty full. They also have tasty margaritas and a nice Mexican beer selection.
