The food is absolutely delicious! I had the shredded beef burrito with rice & beans. I will definitely be back Thank you read more

Food is rather pleasant and nicely prepared. Service is prompt. Though this isn't a place for ambiance!!

Quick and delicious - we love the arroz con pollo, fajitas and burritos. Chips and salsa are a great extra!!

Absolutely lovely service when I popped in for takeout. The staff were kind and patient as I decided from their delicious menu. The food was excellent, plentiful and well priced. The salsa was incredible and my burrito was fantastic. Highly recommended! read more

This is me and my families favorite place. The trios fajitas, macho burrito, and burrito express are our GOTO. Also really really good salsa there. Not only that but the service is so good. We always feel at home and taken care of there! read more

Chapala Express has been my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area for years. When compared to similar eateries, the pricing is extremely affordable for families. Providing a wonderful variety of entrees, and having friendly employees who help to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Chapala is perfect place to sit down for a delicious meal with homemade chips and salsa. read more

I like to think I like all authentic Mexican food, but maybe in reality, I don't unless it feels like something I can't or won't make at home myself. In example, I ordered the Macho burrito with chicken as my meat of choice. It came with rice and beans. Rice, beans, and toppings aside, the burrito itself came with only meat and cheese. That's it. There is certainly beauty in simplicity, but my taste buds were bored out of their minds. This would be when salsas would come into play. But Chapala only has one type of salsa. They consider it their spicy salsa, but there is hardly a kick. It's your average tomato blend. I had to use the crunchiness and the saltiness of the complimentary chips in order to give my burrito any sort of texture and taste. Kudos though to the great service! Unfortunately, this place wasn't for me and I won't be back. read more

Had the Chile Verde and a taco salad. The taste was still good but they cut the size of the portion in half and doubled the price in the last 3 years! I'm done with them! The full size taco salad is now the same size as the half order use to be. Pathetic! read more

My wife and I really love this Mexican food. My wife is from the Southwest and teehed on some of the most authentic Mexican delicatessens. So her palette is in tune to great authentic Mexican food. And if you visit Chapala Express you will not be disappointed. The staff makes a sincere effort to get feedback from there customers by asking how there Meals were ad then listening to the feedback. Each time we go to Chapala it's a great meal. read more

I have to give this joint some props. Their menu is hella extensive. Their food is darn tootin'. They have Mexican beers (with frosty mugs) & margaritas. And they're fast! Within three chips, your food is generally rushed out to your table. Richland is no Pasco (the Mexican food Mecca), but Chapala Express is my pick for best Mexican restaurant in Richland. read more

Oh Chapala, how do I love thee? Here's the deal: Mary doesn't really "crave" Mexican food, ya know, ever. But then, Chapala came along. At Chapala, the menu options seem endless. I'll admit to getting the same exact meal nearly every time I go there - but then, it's perfect, so why would I change it? The portions are big, the flavors are spot on, and the service is RIDICULOUSLY fast. As soon as you sit down, you're brought chips, salsa, and bean dip. Before you can even finish a few chips, your meal is placed before you on a steaming hot plate. I've only cleaned my plate there twice; all other times I need a to-go box. This is a wonderful spot for a meal if you're pressed for time. If you want to slow things down, just enjoy the chips while your meal cools off in front of you. They offer margaritas and beer, and it's all extremely affordable. If you're heading into Richland for business or pleasure, you really should check out Chapala Express, it won't disappoint :) read more

They did not give me what I ordered.I called to inform them, they were abrupt and stated they were just too busy right now, and hung up on me. I have frequented this restaurant for years. This will be the last time read more

Good non fast food Mexican but yet it's quick. I get their enchiladas and carne asada on the regular here...both are good. Love their house made salsa w/ a lil kick read more

This was the freshest, most delicious Mexican food I have had in a long time. The service was friendly & fast! Mireya anticipated our every need & was extremely friendly & attentive. The prices were excellent for the full plate of food we received! The Negro Modelo (12 oz.) was only $3.75! Much less expensive than most places, & served with a chilled mug! You can eat as a "dine-in" restaurant at a booth with menus, or order at the counter, & bring your meal to your table. We were initially served spicy salsa with our chips, but when Mireya noticed I was coughing from the heat of the salsa, she brought us "mild" salsa without us asking for it! We will definitely be returning customers! We HIGHLY recommend Chalupa Express! read more

I love their Chicken en Mole. Chapala Express is my go to Mexican place. The staff is very attentive and usually friendly. Food service is quick and the chips and salsa are great. Salsa is probably a little too hot for my wife most of the time, but who cares? More for me. We usually both get the Chicken en Mole and it's actually the only restaurant my wife will order the same thing as me. Which is a big deal. The place is clean and nice. It's not fancy and uptight but a real place with real people. read more

I always have a good consistant experience here. Greeted with a smile, you pay and chose a seat (a clean table)and a server brings salsa to you. This place is great for the family or work lunch. Enjoying a vegetarian burrito today. read more

I ordered two hard shell tacos, wanted the crunch. Went thru drive thru. 5 minutes from home. Tacos were so soggy they fell apart when I picked them up to eat. First time I've ever eaten a taco with a fork!! read more

Customer service is just absurd. Food had no flavor, we ordered first, and was last to be served. We asked for cilantro, they wanted to charge .75 I had to add salt and pepper so my food could have somewhat flavor. The only thing good was the chips and salsa other than that dont bother wasting your hard earn money here. read more

Great value for money. Fresh, delicious, convenient drive through. $11 for 3 (albeit small, but still super filling) burritos and rice and beans. Great deal read more

Loved the food. Everything was fresh and tasty. Service was super fast and the prices easy on the wallet. Ordered chicken quesadilla, fish tacos and veggie burritos. read more

Really fast cheerful service. Good food. We enjoyed our meal. Seven meals for about $60 before tip.

I ordered through doordash and it did not take long at all. It was in aluminum so it stayed hot. It was in aluminum container so you could just put it in the oven to reheat if you don't like microwaves. It was a good carne asada burrito that came with some beans, rice, and chips. Good quality and flavor at a good price. read more

When you want authentic Mexican food for a fair price, your next stop should be Chapala Express. They don't bat an eye about special dietary requests, which is a must for our family. read more

Great food fast. I have been eating here with family and friends for years now. Food is always good and hot. One of these days i am going to beg for the salsa recipe. I love it. The servers here recognize me when i come in and are always super nice. When they say express they mean it. Food service is so fast it boggles the mind. This has become my favorite mexican place in town! Never have to ask for more salsa because they bring you a little caraffe full. Love it! read more

A great place combining a perfect balance of a fast food/semi self serve joint, table service, and with food that could stand alone in a higher end traditional Mexican restaurant. Order and pay at the counter (no waiting at the table, which is great), get your drinks, and then sit back and enjoy good table service! The best of both worlds, and the services is fast. The complimentary chips, salsa, and hot bean dip are all very good as well, and you get a bottle of salsa, so needing to ask for more is typically not an issue. The enchiladas are excellent, and I havent really traveled the menu past them, but no need, really. One of these days Ill try something else, but 5 stars since I have not been disappointed at all after roughly 20 visits. And one more thing, if you order to go, great care is taken with the packaging of the entrees. A great plus if you decide to take it that way, or even call ahead. read more

Chapala express is my favorite mexican restaurant in the tri. Excellent food and great service every time. I have never had a bad experience at Chapala and have bought the salsa to take home because it's that good. read more

While I really like the concept & service of Chapala, the food didn't hit the mark for me. The chips were super thick and tasted stale although the salsa & bean dip were okay. I got the enchiladas which are kind of the litmus test for Mexican food. When it came out, it was a bit overwhelming: huge and covered in super-processed cheese. While pretty typical, there was nothing special about the food or the proceeding stomach ache. That said, I've only been here once & would be willing to give it one more try... maybe the enchiladas weren't the way to go. read more

Great food and they always try to keep the price affordable. I always order the enchiladas ranches. The salsa is delicious with fresh restaurant-style chips too. Polite service as well! read more

I've been crying myself to sleep every night for the last six and a half years since we moved away because I miss this place so much. OK...I exagerate, but this was a regular place for my wife and I for many years. The food is good, and also a good value. My favorite are their Enchiladas Nortenas. Truly truly wonderful comfort food. I never left hungry, and I've not been able to find a place like it since. read more

I brought my sister here from Seattle when she came to visit. She wanted Mexican food and I looked up on Yelp. This was rated pretty high and we were in Richland. I've never even noticed this being on Lee as many times as I've driven passed it. We got our food to go. The wait wasn't more than 10 minutes. There were about 6 other people eating inside. I forgot what we ordered but it was good. My sister wasn't thrilled with their tamales, but everything else was good. My sister's boyfriend, who happens to know what authentic Mexican food tastes like since his mother cooks it all the time, thought the food tasted pretty authentic. They gave us a bag of fresh chips with salsa too. I've been back to order take out a few times now. It's always consistent and service is good. Their menu is massive. Their portions are massive. Well, at least for me anyway. read more

We've only ordered take out from here, but they've never failed us! Enchiladas, fajitas, fajita salad, chicken en mole, it's all been amazing! This is definitely our go-to place for Mexican food! read more

Restuarant is clean. Staff is friendly. Food is good. Came in with some family. Got fajita super burrito, macho super burrito and aroz con pollo. Meals were great. Will come again. read more

Chapala is a regular stop for our family. We love their food, its consistently good. We have gotten where we crave their salsa over anyone else's. The staff are all very friendly. And they are fast & affordable for our family of 4. read more

Good variety of menu options, cheap, huge portions, fairly good (though I know those that are biased against it), speedy at lunch and they serve horchata. I've never had a complaint. It's not the best I've ever had, but for cheap and fast and in walking distance of work, not bad at all. read more

Very good chicken express burrito. Not greasy. Excellent for price, portion, and service. Not terribly spicy unless very nice salsa is added read more

Late lunch decision to try this place out. Was not disappointed! Super fast carry out service and the food was delicious .

Love this place! They are super fast and always friendly. We come here a lot for lunch, and I always get the chicken enchiladas which hit the spot every time. This is one of my top two favorite Mexican restaurants in the Tri-cities. read more

When my friends first brought me I was hesitant to say the least. It looks a little sketchy from the get-go and I'd never heard of it before. However, after trying the food I was hooked. It's excellent and their prices are even better. But aside from the food the staff is wonderful, friendly and efficient. I'd have to say I'm a regular now and love being able to call-in and get my order to-go! I had to give them 5 stars for obvious reasons! read more

The food was authentic and surprisingly exceeded my expectations. Friendly and very hospitable employees. The overall atmosphere felt upbeat and the value in the pricing makes it all worth a five star rating for this "express"-type of Mexican cuisine. read more
