Comida muy Rico! Good spot! It was literally the day after Christmas. It was good food, the green salsa was a new fave! Service was nice. I would want to try the ceviche next time! The cucaracha shrimp wasn't as saucy like I'm used to. Great selection of foods and drinks work a try! read more

Bro, DO NOT EAT HERE unless you want the worst food poisoning ever. I have had food poisoning for a week from this place and had to miss a bunch of work because of it. This place is mad unsanitary I don't know how a place like this is even operating in king county. read more

I was invited to a party where this restaurant happened to be catering... It had a great presentation not only on the main dishes but desserts and aguas frescas.... The food was delish... They had chicken mole, pork, shrimp and birria. Rice and beans, green salad and macaroni salad. The staff very professional, friendly and very helpful too. I had gone to this restaurant in the past and also it's a good place to go and eat. I will extremely recommend for either eat at the restaurant or let them cater your next party! read more

This is advertized as a Mexican Buffet, but it's really a bar and dance parlor with table seating. I settled for a combination plate of enchiladas verdes with rice and beans... and of course, a Tecati. The enchildas were excellent... the rice was generic and the beans were whole. I was completely satisfied with the meal. It was Sunday night with only a few patrons, yet the disc jockey was in full swing and the music was penetrating. (I had to remove my hearing aids to survive! The guy next to me laughed.) Good thing I speak Spanish, the waitress didn't speak English... but it didn't matter anyway... we had to use sign language through the noise. This is clearly an ethic hangout, and geared to younger folks and families. I don't feel qualified to rate La Chapanita...,but everyone was in good spirits and the food was good! read more

The worst in every way, the decor is like a school gym when I was a kid. One server for the only 4 tables eating. Food and drinks are so expensive a screwdriver is 10.00 margaritas are $12. The chips and cold unsalted over cooked and served with A plastic ramekin of green sauce. Two of us ordered chicken flautas Each order had three and no rice or beans it was $10 and they were not much bigger than a pencil. The other person ordered the steak Asada small sloppy plate. So to flautas a steak and 3 margaritas was $100. Never again read more

((((((((((((((((((((((((DO NOT GO THERE )))))))))) The worst restaurant I have ever seen bathroom very dirty and smells bad forks very dirty customer service they lie with the check I recommend you to see what you ordered and check the bill. Beside that 3 weeks ago I left my gf jacket and one of the employees took it. When we was trying to leave they said we don't have your jacket and they hid the employee in the kitchen. I have case number after the police arrived .and I'm filling report on them read more

My favorite foods that was cooked there I couldn't stop eating was the tamales , pozole they made it so good, you can tell it's quality over and over again. I'd give this place a 10/10 delicious and will be back. read more

This is definitely not American Mexican food. My son and I went on a Friday night. There was only one other person there. Person who greeted me was nice and friendly. The set up is low key. The Mexican dishes are homemade and very greasy. The rice was bland and needed to be mixed with some beans to add flavor. There was one item that I thought was a taquito. It was as hard as a rock. I could not eat the center portion. I let it set in some beans to soften up and it didn't. No tamales. The drinks were not cold. Dessert was canned peaches, jello, and chips. There were mini doughnuts and packaged danishes. All packaged store bought. There was the giant tub of puffed cheese balls from Costco. The hard boiled eggs didn't even look appetizing. Price was $12. I only had one plate of dinner and some peaches and jello to clean my palate. The food tasted ehh. I feel a little bad since it is definitely someone's home recipes. But seeing all those packaged store bought items in a restaurant really turned me off. Will not be back. read more

Delicious food, many selections to choose from od try them all, clean place and friendly staff (family run). They just opened 7-8 months ago and I hope they thrive and open a branch in Everett next (closer top where I live, hah!). Will be back and recommend this place. read more

I loved everything about this place. It was a bit pricey ($20 after tax and tip) for a 1.5 plate eater like me, but I'd go back in a heartbeat. The food was great and it all tasted authentic. I especially loved the frijoles...great flavor and enough heat to catch me off guard. They had a few pitchers of different agua frescas (including my favorite cantaloupe). read more

The food tasted homemade. The employees were friendly. They have a variety of food choices. Such as: rice, pinto beans, pollo en mole( spicy chocolate sauce with chicken), chicharrón en salsa verde, tamales, taquitos dorados, creamy spaghetti, and a few more). They give you corn tortillas for your meal as well. On special days they have different types of soups like birria( spicy stew with goat meat and consume They have cut up fruit for some nice healthy dessert afterwards. Some traditional drinks such as horchata, pina colada juice, tamarind. They also have soda(jarritos) and alcoholic drinks. I can say I was satisfied with my experience here. read more

La Chapanita - Fruit and other desserts - Mexican Near Me - Kent, Washington

This is the real thing! Home-made fare just like it is in Mexico. Don't expect American-Mexican burritos, enchiladas and such. It's a buffet - meaning that you can help yourself to as much as you like and make as many trips as you care to. It's a great opportunity to try many things (taking just a bit of each) and then going back for more of what you like. On our last visit (I've been there four times), the soup was pretty spicy. Loved the egg dish and tried two platefuls of others. Good dessert selection - rice pudding was fantastic. There is a bar available. Juice drinks are part of the buffet (coconut, mango and something else, besides water), but soft drinks (hey, Mexican Coke!) are extra. The staff will bring out freshly heated corn or flour tortillas and make quesadillas to order. If you're not sure, stop in and look over the selections before sitting down. read more

I drove by here many times and see this place grilling chicken out front and smelling the smoke. today was the day I finally tried it. this was the best chicken I've had in a real long time. maybe even ever! yes, it was that good! the smell is amazing walking in. great service too. if you haven't tried this place yet, you're definitely missing out. even real homemade tortillas. it really doesn't get any better than this place here. read more

Delicious authentic food. All you can eat, you're kidding me? It is though. I recommend. Maybe you're used to "fancy" restaurants , this is not that, but it does make up many time over for this by providing delicious food. Heath department food eating is an excellent as well. Try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

Alex and Jose are the best! They are security and they are so nice, yes they took my pepper spray away but they were so chill about it and have it back. They said just for safety but they are so chill and amazing ! Def feel safe going to this place ! Shout out to them!! read more

When paying so much for a buffet you expect a good variety and good flavors. Well this place falls short on both. The beans were the best thing here, the rice is ok but the rest not worth it not to mention a lot of the set up does not look very sanitary so eat at your own risk. read more

I love how they have authentic dishes that you don't find at most Mexican restaurants. This is my go to spot when my co workers & I want to grab drinks & eat good food read more

Very good buffet. Very good food. Lots to chose from. I will be back. Only $12. Friendly staff.

Homemade authentico comida de mexicana recipes from Michoacán region of Mexico.. looks more like a family get together than a fancy restaurant, so if aesthetics are important to you, then you should probably avoid. But if you are tired of "whitey mex", taco time, and just plain bad Mexican food, and you crave the real stuff, then here it is. I'm going back today for lunch!!!! read more

Hot and flavorful chicken tacos right off the grill out front. Spicy and delicious salsas.

Very friendly service. Most food had good flavor. But a lot of the food items were not labeled. This is important especially for people with allergies or other restrictions. Also, everything was kind of messy. Inconsistent labeling, random serving trays/dishes, etc. Also not a fan of the lukewarm agua Fresca that I had to pour myself. The buffet needs to be more organized. It kind of set up like a potluck at someone's house instead of an established restaurant. I think the owners need to go to other buffets and take some notes on how to organize their restaurant. I understand it's a small business but you can't cheap out on serving trays, labels, etc. read more
