    Quesadilla with Chicken
    Amy P.

    Visited Chapala on a Friday around 5pm. The place wasn't very crowded but it still took a bit for us to get seated. My biggest complaint was that we never really had any table service. Chips weren't refilled and neither was our water, we had to call down multiple servers for help. But, they're menu is huuuuuuge. It took me a long time to decide what I wanted and I ended up selecting the Quesadilla (Quesadilla Ranchero I think) with chicken. It was quite good and I'd order it again. I love that it came with a small side of guac. Other than the service, the food was pretty good. I'm hoping that if I visit again that will change.

    Chipotle Burrito

    Fill this place up! Met a friend for lunch. He suggested this place since he is local to Cambridge. We basically had the place to ourselves. Bartender was very nice. Let me change the channel on the tv. Server was friendly and brought refills on our waters before they were gone. Food was excellent and came out very fast. My friend always gets the chipotle burrito which was huge. I went with the chicken lunch sized fajitas. Came out sizzling. Good chips and salsa (complimentary) Good atmosphere with a lot of neon beer signs and Mexican decoration.

    We went on a Friday night and the place was busy and packed. The food was fresh and excellent with good flavor. I had chimichangas. My bride had beef fajitas. They were delicious. The service was good. We were able to use a $5 off coupon. We would definitely return.

    Here we have two virgin daiquiri's one is strawberry and the other is peach and the yellow one is a mango margarita

    It was my First time ever going to this restaurant the first bite of my food was amazing everyone in my family enjoyed their food very much. They had very good service and our waiter was very kind. We ordered our food around 5 min after we arrived and got our food in under ten min. I highly recommend this restaurant. I would definitely come here again!

    we had a surprise birthday party here and the manager went to DQ and got a DQ cake for our guest!!!!!! how awesome is that???? food is delicious and service is more than accommodating I really can't say enough about this awesome venue guaranteed good time no matter the event did I say that the food is delicious??

    money in the table!

    We were starving and needed some good food to keep us full. We decided on this because it looked so cool. We ordered some virgin daiquiris, Peach and Strawberry and a mango margarita. They came out in these huge glasses, They were so refreshing and I can't recommend these enough. I got regular nachos and cheese with guacamole on the side, the cheese was so good but the guacamole tasted store bought and not fresh, overall this place is delicious and so so good!!

    Food always cold, service is slow. Waiting times suck and they mix up orders. Give me the wrong drinks. Been there twice. Not going back.

They must change the menu because we were here last year (Feb 2025) and not much on the menu appealed to me. But this year they were lots of things I wanted to try. I'm late in posting my review. But I do remember that I split entrees with another. We split the BBQ Brisket Melt and the Oklahoma Smashburger. We both prefer the BBQ Melt over the burger. It had more flavor and texture. It's always good food and service. And I'm sure we'll go again next year after our Annual Seminar.

If you don't like sitting in the sun , consider asking for a table instead or away from the windows. Food 5/5: we got the brussels sprouts and shrimp bowl. I loved the maple sauce with the goat cheese on the sprouts! It's definitely different than the soy type sauces other places are doing, and brought the perfect salty sweet combination. The shrimp bowl is my go to here, and was great. The sauce with the shrimp, avocado, veggies and rice is a great balance of flavor. Service 5/5: our server was very attentive and the food came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: this place has an upscale cozy vibe. It is on the smaller side, so tables are somewhat close, but not too close. Note the credit card charge.

Anyhow on to the review: Before I even begin I should announce this PSA, Pinebrook is incredibly busy, with 2-4 hour waits on weekends. Expect to make reservations and wait up to 45 minutes for food to come out, it's well worth the wait. Have eaten here countless times with family and friends, I have never been disappointed coming here! Food is always fresh and amazing! The sticky burgers are fantastic! Serloin is AMAZING! Pizza is great too. And the occasional seafood.. especially the lobster and pistachio crusted mahi mahi with white wine cream sauce (yes you heard that right) are all to die for. Genuinely one of my favourite restaurants with amazing steaks and seafood! Better than most places in the twin cities!!! Very casual atmosphere and everything from burgers to upscale seafood and steak! And don't even get me started on the price.... $19.99 for a 8 oz Serloin, side, and salad?!? Amazing! If you're in the area stop by play some pinball, and eat some good food. Don't forget the reservations. Thank me later.

My daughter ordered a steak and it was quite hard for her to chew. I tasted it and it was tough. I ordered ribs and they did fall apart, but it was the type of ribs where the sauce was put on after it was cooked, so it was not into the meat while cooking. Also, there was a lot of gristle on the meat. I had more waste than I had meat. I am going to try a steak one more time and then I might have to change restaurants if that happens again. Many other other things are really good so maybe I should just stay away from the steak. Keep up making things yourself and not buying them frozen in a bag. I have been in Food Service and I know when that is happening and that really upsets me I stay away from those type of restaurants so don't lean too far. That way I'll be back.
