Enchiladas

Average tex-mex for the area. Short wait times to be seated and service is relatively quick which is nice. None of the food we got was so good that it would be something we had to come back and have again but it was good enough to fill out bellies for the night and not leave completely disappointed.

The chips and cheese dip were not very good. They do give you a lot of dip though with small order.

El Chaparral-Boerne - Tortilla Soup

We frequent Chaparral because we like the drive up IH10 to Boerne and the restaurant is not usually…read moreoverly crowded, which makes for a more relaxed dining experience. On Fridays and Saturdays there can be a wait, but they often offer a waitlist option, and you can also make a reservation the day before which I highly recommend. For a long time, I struggled with what to order because some of the dishes felt a bit heavy for my taste. They were good but too greasy. And for years I have typically stuck with the chicken quesadilla or a bowl of bean soup. However, I recently tried the mini tacos and that completely changed my experience! The mini tacos come six to an order, and the meat was cooked perfectly: tender, juicy, and full of flavor. They're served on a single corn tortilla (many places use two), so they did fall apart a bit and I had to eat with a fork but honestly, with added lime, onion and cilantro, they were so delicious that I didn't mind. The charro beans are a great accompaniment with really nice flavor and this plate DOES NOT come with rice. I do however like the white style rice that comes with the quesadilla. I know many people rave about the refried beans. While they are tasty, they're a bit too greasy for my personal preference. Service is decent overall. The waitstaff often seems very busy and possibly understaffed, but they are still pleasant and kind. If you're not sure what to order, I definitely recommend giving the mini tacos a try.

My daughter and I ate lunch at this El Chaparral in Boerne, TX and the lunch was great, the…read morerestaurant is very nice and the decor was superb. Our waiter, Brian was attentive, offered suggestions for dessert, was friendly and gave us a brief history of this El Chaparral in Boerne, TX I ordered the puffy taco plate with carne Guisada and the tacos were great especially the puffy corn tortillas. My daughter ordered the chicken nachos and the little corn tortilla cup with guacamole was so cute! My daughter ordered churo bites with caramel sauce for dessert RECOMMEDATION: I would definitely return to El Chaparral in Boerne, TX for another lunch outing or dinner.
