A friend recommended this place and we decided to visit it, we love trying different places and we absolutely loved the food, the atmosphere and the attentive care not just from our sever but everybody. The food as a Mexican was amazing especially when you know different regions from Mexico and you know each regions have their flavors and staples. It has been a pleasure for my palate to enjoy those flavor again. We always like asking about the background and origins of the restaurants we visit and we always note and comparare details. The flavors just to reiterate.... Awesome! Atmosphere and service totally outstanding, today was our second time and the person even apologized for us not getting the same booth, we were like what??? You remember that and us? Well we are sold and we found the new place for us to invite friend and have family celebrations! Maybe I can not give a Michelin Star but for sure a "Miguelin" star! Thank you all! Jeziel, Isri, Eli, Charlie , Rolando, we do not know all the names yet but we will acknowledge every one properly and please know that little things come a long way and make a difference!!!! Addendum- for some reason my original post did not post when intended but now that I can, still going there and love it still!!! We have had family gatherings, great moments to celebrate and even when lows, we still found this place an amazing place to be. In all honesty, we feel like they are family, almost like the show Cheers... "sometimes you want to go where every body knows your name". It has been for us a great balance of consistency all around, service, the food, the drinks, even if prices went up (given the economy right now), we know it will be great! Even during these times they have never tried to cut corners or even increase prices!! We love you guys and will continue supporting our local businesses!! read more

There's a first time for everything! The Pink Coco Margarita is a must have. I was lucky enough to be the first person Chepa's made this drink for. The coconut doesn't over power the drink and it's not too sweet. The pink color is perfectly pink just like a Malibu sunset. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. read more

I love their food and the drinks are good too. Tasty and enough for me to make two meals out of one dinner. I think the prices are very good. I often swap out what goes with the dinners, so if it includes something you don't like just substitute it with something you do like! I order it to go pretty often too, as it is nearby and soooo good. read more

This is a nice neighborhood place with friendly and attentive staff. Drinks are especially good, particularly the Paloma and the Mojito. read more

Chepa's Mexican Grill - Brisket tacos 8/10 - Salad Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Vegetarian option limited. Food tasted good, but service is not that great! We ordered 3 items and the guy forgot 1 item.

Getting good Mole, with excellent Service, is very tough in North Texas. So it was an real pleasure finding Chepa's, and sharing a Meal with my Wife, Son, and Grandson. My Wife had the Brisket Tacos, my Son had Chicken Quesadilla's, my Grandson had a Kid's Meal, and I had the Chicken Mole. Food was AWESOME, and the Service was better. We will definitely be returning. read more

Love the service. Food ingredients are fresh, and food tastes amazing. Good price for the amount of food you get.

Had to add a review so there were 67 reviews this place is really good. My three year old son loves it. The salsa isn't chunky but spicy which he likes. The Spanish rice doesn't have peas and carrots which he prefers. The margaritas are only one size and they're pretty big. The decor and ambiance is very McKinney vibes. I liked our server he was attentive. Likely will become a regular read more

You have many better options for "Mexican" food and Tex Mex in the area. I tried the Original Chepas close to my home a few times before, I crossed it off my list. I was next door to this newer location when the lunch bell rang. So, I threw caution to the wind and gave them a try. They pull minor marks on all my key success factors. While overall there is no glaring design flaw in the restaurant, I didn't feel comfortable overall and its kind of dark. The service was friendly but hurried and inexperienced The food is severely lacking and the best way I can describe it is ,least common denominator. Ingredients matter but, so does cooking skill. Seemingly, they come up short on both. I wont return and wish them good luck but, all you guys flowing into town from other parts of the country: Do Not Use This as a Yard Stick to judge the Local Tex Mex ", Mexican Food scene. Its not reperesentative. read more

I ordered the kids menu and the taco shell was so hard I could barely bite into it got stuck in my throat. Server seemed to have an attitude. My sister who is a vegetarian ordered the kids cheese enchilada. It came with sauce that had meat on it. They did not ask her what kind of sauce she wanted when they took her order. When she addressed it with the server they said that's the way it comes. They fixed it by pouring cheese whiz on top of it or what appeared to be cheese whiz. Was not even hot. The cheese on the inside of the enchilada was not even hot. It tasted microwave. We will not be returning nor recommending this restaurant. We eat Mexican food all the time and came here because of the good rating. We left without eating our meals. The server could tell that we didn't eat our food and did not make any offers. Just gave us a bill we paid and left and now we're going to another restaurant. read more

I am so glad a friend told me about this place that is down the street from home. After a particularly crazy week, a visit to Chepa's is exactly what I needed. For all you margarita lovers, you gotta have theirs! I absolutely loved the chamango, and tamarind ones. The are sneaky and pack a good punch. The Molcajete is a must order if you are a party of 2 or more. It is over flowing with meats. The panela cheese, and salsa verde are the perfect accompaniments with the meat and grilled peppers. It comes with rice, beans, guac, and pico (one plate for each person). We had food leftover there was so much. Staff is amazing, friendly, and attentive. Great place for happy hour and good food. read more

It's decent. Nothing really special but not bad either. Id go back but wouldnt go out of my way to go there again. The lady seated near us at the bar claimed they make the best margaritas shes ever had. I don't agree although I admit I seek something more creative than a frozen machine margarita. read more

I love their chicken mole enchiladas. Not a lot of Mexican restaurants make them, and Chepa's makes delicious mole enchiladas.

not only is the food very bland. The service is also just as bad as the food our server is not checking on us. The food came out very fast and it taste like it was microwaved and was bought from the Walmart next-door. I don't recommend coming here ever save your money, not authentic at all. read more

By far the best frozen margarita I've had in this town. Food was also great, and our server was too. read more

Do not wait. You have to go visit Chepas. I had no idea this restaurant existed. From Colleyville and our favorite margaritas there is from Anna's. They are strong but delicious. Chepas has fabulous happy hour Monday to Friday noon to 6:30. $8 margaritas except on Monday it's $6!! We got the fajitas which they serve in large portions. They did a great renovation on the restaurant and has a good wrap around bar if that's your vibe. When the weather is nice, the outside patio is cute too! Go give Chepas a chance. You won't regret it read more

Very close to our home so wanted to check it out. It's a bit of a hole in the wall but don't let that fool you..... the food here in solid. My fish tacos were yum and served HOT .... a real pet peeve of mine. It also came with hot veggies and the whole meal hit the spot. My girl had chicken enchiladas and they were also tasty. They do have a bar and TV for the big game. We will definitely return. read more

I have a ridiculously long list of food allergies and mostly eat at home because of it. But, my husband really wanted Mexican food on a patio with margaritas. This place had been on my list to try for a while and I'm so glad we gave them a try. We were greeted with the door being opened for us and that was just the beginning of the wonderful service. Once I told our adorable server, Ladybeith (I hope I spelled that correctly), about my allergies she checked in with my list and Eli (assuming the owner or manager) came to talk to us. We talked through some options, he doubled checked ingredients, he assured that the kitchen wouldn't cross-contaminate, and they ended up making me the most delightful meal. My husband loved his margarita and beef fajitas as well. For going off menu and all the special attention, dinner was also reasonably priced as well. This will be on our date night rotation from now on! Special mention to all of the staff at Chepa's. Everyone who came to the patio checked on us and were very pleasant. They are a hardworking bunch! Kudos! read more

We came out here on a Sunday night to have dinner. It was really good. This place reminds me of ZuZu, if anyone remembers that place. The rice was really good and so was the salsa. The guacamole was great! The rest of the food was not greasy, and had great flavor. The ambience is really pretty and super clean restaurant. The entire staff is very friendly. We enjoyed our meal and definitely recommend this place. read more

Service has always been excellent, food great and the best margaritas. Local and not a chain restaurant.

The frozen house margarita is the BEST! and for $6 on Mondays and $8 during HH it's hard to beat it. The staff is super nice and the beef fajitas are really good. read more

Great food and service! Yummy margaritas too. Went there for my birthday and the staff sang for me too!

Chepa's is my favorite go to restaurant - with friends or I am even comfortable popping in when I am solo. Food is always hot and the service amazing!!! Whether I am a party of one or a party, I am treated the same. Love the food, love the servers and I love their prices - oh yeah, the drinks are yummy too!! read more

Food and service is excellent. Hot and fresh to the taste but the best thing is the michelada made from scratch, super tasty, I come and get it every Sunday. Really chill ambiance and a homey vibe. Super friendly vibe and easy menu to order read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this earned it. My friend and I went in for margaritas, based on its location. The place quickly became packed. I heard "tortilla soup" ordered a few times, so opted to get some to go. Holy moly! This is the best tortilla soup I've ever had (and I try it everywhere I go). It had fresh ingredients and homemade taste, which makes me excited to try to rest of the menu. Packed house, friendly service, and quality ingredients!! read more

Seriously amazing food!!! I ordered the combo Tres and it was the best tamale I have had in over 10 years. It was so good, I ordered a second meal to go for the next day! My husband had the Mexican guiso, which was also phenomenal and a must try! We also returned the following week and each time had been amazing! Service was great and the restaurant is adorably comfortable. Highly recommended!!! read more

Ambience very nice and the bar is also nice. Service was fast and ordering even faster!! I can't believe I live down the road from this spot and never knew about it.

I was excited when Chepa's opened down the street from my house. This is the closest thing to authentic Mexican food you will get, in the McKinney/Frisco area. (Cookies in downtown McKinney is another favorite). I sat at the bar and ordered Alfred's favorite, two CasaAmigos tequila's on the rocks and a Sopaipilla. ($50) All of it was delicious! My only complaint is I wish the flour tortillas were homemade and the chips were thinner. Something, in my opinion, not worth knocking stars off a review. The bartender was amazing, the food was amazing and the food came out hot, fresh and in a timely manner. Definitely worth giving a try, if you are on the fence. read more

Chepa's Mexican Grill - a plate of food - Salad Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I came today for the very first time. I saw the reviews were so good so I was like let me try this place. I got the cheese enchiladas and it was SO good. It was made with love. I also can say I opt to not have meat but I do not mind about refried beans. This place does not have the bacon chunks in the beans which was a lifesaver!!!! I can't tell if they still make it with pork fat but it was good to me. The server we had Izri was very nice and continued to check on us. His work ethic made me think he was the shift lead or the manager. Very nice guy. This is the best service I have experienced in a long time. I will def return They also have a bar and huge tv that is playing football which is great considering the Super Bowl is coming up. I can imagine this will be a CHILL place to watch. The chips and salsa sucks tho read more

Food was pretty bad. Not sure what's up in this town but they don't know how to cook Mexican food

The one on Stacey Road is always better than the one in Plano/Allen. At least food is consistent and we get what we pay for. The pricing is a little bit high but I'm OK with that for quality and consistent product. We are huge fans of the queso. This is something which is hard to mess up, but there is consistently good. read more
