    We wanted to try this place for a while and this time we were here when it was open. We were seated right away. Server was helpful and attentive. Food was really good. They mix the salsa for your chips at your table based on your spice level. It can be a bit noisy with children but not too bad. It is next to their market which is also fun to check out. Parking can be hard with crowds.

    Chapala is a stand out for Mexican breakfast dishes, lunch and dinner. They feature a wide selection with a seafood Mexican twist for lunch and dinner. We've been coming here for years and we've always had a great experience. Yes, the tableside salsa.Yes they make the sauce accustomed to your taste at the table is fantastic.

    The next time you are fueling up at the Gas Pro Shop (Buccees) next door, consider not fighting the crowd for their bbq sandwich and beaver nuggets. Cross the street and grab some authentic Mexican food from Chapala. Their staff offered top notch service and made sure our glasses were never empty. They started us with fresh made, table side salsa, prepared to our level of heat preference. The refried beans paired with the salsa and chips were a perfect aperitif. The lunch menu was bountiful and had some of our favorites. The enchiladas with guajillo sauce and chicken were divine. And the quesadilla was massive, especially for only $10. I hate that we were sleeping on this place and grabbing jerky and a sandwich instead of when we fueled up.

    Casa Chapala - Bastrop, TX - Father's Day Visit Our kids treated us to Casa Chapala in Bastrop for Father's Day. It was a lively experience -- maybe a bit too lively for us, as the noise level made it hard to have a conversation. A few sound-absorbing tiles, curtains, or even some soft wall art could go a long way. Now, on to the food: Oma's beef fajita was just right and to her liking. I had the beef steak burrito. It was okay, though the meat was a bit too tough for my old teeth. The Mexican rice didn't have much flavor, but it wasn't bad. The real star of the meal was the chips and salsa -- especially the spicy one. That salsa had a great kick and flavor, and honestly, it was the best part of the whole meal. Not quite a five-star place, but still a solid four stars in my book. With a few acoustic upgrades, it could easily become a favorite spot. Opa

    Not the best service, food, or atmosphere but not terrible. I loved my fish tostada but didn't like my shrimp mango tostada. I tried my boyfriend's burrito and it was good. The chips and salsa were amazing. Service was slow and our waitress was visibly annoyed at her coworkers the entire time (they were arguing and giving dirty looks to each other). I'll probably come back to see if I just had a funky experience but not for a while.

    If you want real tasty Mexican food definitely this is NOT the place. I order a molcajete it looked like caldo , small portions of meet food had no taste had to put a lot of salt and salsa to make it better. Service ok. Lemonade tastes like kool-aid

    Service was great here amd got our food really fast. Right when we got there they brought out fresh chips and made the salsa right at the table. Thought the salsa was good. The spicy salsa was decent and spicy. I also got the queso since it was cheap for happy hour. Wasn't anything to write home about but was still good. My rice and enchilada was really good as well but again. Not anything to write home about. I got the spicy chicken in the enchilada. The crispy take was great and i love how they put it on a stand so it doesn't get soggy. Overall probably a 3.5 but giving a 4 because of the good service

    We wanted to get out of the house for dinner with guests over the Thanksgiving weekend, and found this spot which is next to the Bastrop Bucees. Other eateries closed at 8pm on Saturday, so we were happy to find this spot that was open later and able to seat a party of five right away. Mariachis were playing, which is a nice bonus. We were seated near a large, rowdy group that provided a lively atmosphere. Once we placed our drink orders, chips, salsa and tasty bean dip brought to the table. We waited quite a while to place our food orders. Once our food arrived, it was delicious and hit the spot. Margaritas were excellent! All in all, dinner was good and we'll return, hopefully to a calmer atmosphere next time.

    Came back several times. Really enjoyed every visit. We're always quickly greeted and seated,…read morebrought water, chips and a spicy, charred salsa. The wait staff is friendly and checks up on us regularly, They have a chalk board with specials. A nice bar - Today their specials included a $5 margarita. But I also like their generous Mexican martini (brought out in a proper shaker) and their Fridarita - an ode to Ms. Kahlo featuring hibiscus (jamaica) and decorated with a flower. It has to be the most interesting margarita I've ever encountered. And it tastes great. My wife had the menudo and a crispy chicken taco. She enjoyed both. And the taco was larger than most. I came back to my favorite here, the shrimp relleno - a blister, peeled poblano pepper (not battered or fried) filled with shrimp and ranchero sauce and served with white rice and lovely, grilled vegetables (zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, etc.). The whole dish works so well together you could mix it all up and it would still be devine. So... we keep coming back.

We were greeted and seated right away. The salsa that came with the complementary chips were outstanding. However, the authenticity and vibe were unfortunately lackluster. I ordered my meal and I told the waitress I did not want any cheese in my fried stuff avocado meal and when the meal came she assured me there was no cheese which she was wrong. I couldn't get another meal made right for some reason so I unfortunately did not finish my meal. Unfortunately, I will have to pass on this establishment.
