If you're craving authentic Mexican food from Guadalajara, La Chiva Tapatía is the real deal! The flavors taste just like home cooking - rich, comforting, and made with love. Every dish feels traditional and true to its roots, not watered down or overly commercialized like you find in so many places. Must-try dishes: Tacos de canasta - absolute chef's kiss! Torta ahogada - so authentic, it takes you right to Jalisco. Tacos dorados - crispy, golden perfection. 10/10 hands down
Small hole in the wall worth finding! Food was bomb ! Co worker introduced me. Thanks Mel ! So we order the three taco combo with carnitas. So the tacos are hard shell with mashed potatoes inside, they smear some refried beans on once side of the taco and stick the carnitas to the beans... these are than topped with some shredded cabbage. The best part is they give you BAG with warm sauce that you pour over the tacos... Eat like tostadas. DIFFERENT for sure . So good you have to try them. Decent priced. Check out the pictures... mouth watering. It's off Rosecrans. Behind the ARCO on Rosecrans and Carmenita.
Late post. Was in the area snd finally had a chance to stop by for work lunch. Saw this place on a couple of foodies I follow and was "MexiPapa approved" haha. Tried the Torta Ahogada and a couple of the tacos de canasta. Tacos had no business hitting that hard, they were so good. Torta was good salsa was good and hot salsa for the torta ahogada brought it together. Also tried an order of the tacos dorados for my buddy, also delish. Expect a short wait, food is prepared fresh, pro tip order ahead if you are strapped for time. Staff was super friendly, parking is small for in the back dedicated for just the business. Overall I gave them a 8/10 with a Yumm Rating. Def will come back for thrle tacos dorados and de canasta.
Amazing food and that doesn't even begin to explain or describe how delicious their entire menu is my definite go to is the tacos de canasta. They have a deal that you get with them for five and only pay 10 bucks but don't sleep on Tortas Ahogadas spicy big and they do not skimp out on the meat!
I got a Delicious, huge torta ahogada. My torta was full of meat and the taco was really crunchy and tasty. My husband got a plate of "Carne en su jugo" He loved this delicious soup. The server was very polite and very accommodating to our needs. Place is small but can easily accommodate approx 20 customers.
Simplicity at its best. Does not get any better than this and that's the point. No razzle dazzle. they let the flavor do all the talking! Muy bien hecho! Todo estuve sabroso.

As soon as we arrived, the parking lot was pretty small, and we walked in through the back door near the bathroom which, unfortunately, smelled really bad. Even just walking by it made us hesitate, and we looked at each other like, "Do we leave?" We almost did. But we decided to go up and check the place out anyway. The menu is very small, and there was only one guy running the whole place, so it felt like they might have just recently opened or were just getting started. We ordered tacos de canasta, a torta ahogada, and a quesadilla with meat. The torta ahogada was really, really good. The tacos de canasta were so good that we ended up ordering a second round. They're a bit small, but I think that's just how they're supposed to be. Still, they were packed with flavor. Everything we tried was delicious. We were actually the first ones there around 11 or 12, and not long after, once lunchtime hit, the place filled up quickly and there were no empty seats. Even with the small staff, the service was good and everything came out fresh. read more

This food was so good! We started eating before we took the photos! That's how delicious their tacos de canasta and tacos dorados are! These are so unique and yummy! They're like nothing you've ever had! The tacos de canasta are soft and have a delicious sauce on top, served with pickled onions and shredded cabbage! Their chile is perfect, not too hot, but has a perfect kick! The tacos dorados are served with some really good tender carnitas on top and with crispy fresh cabbage and the addictive sauce! It's my first visit but not my last!!! You need to come here today! They even have tacos with papas y queso like abuela used to make! Manuel and the cashier were helpful suggesting what type of tacos we would like too! We came at 1 pm and had great service! read more

Had been searching for Carne en su jugo! It was exactly what I wanted, it was delicious. The menudo is very good, but doesn't come with hominy. Will definitely be back to try other plates they have, especially that torta ahogada! read more

Ordered on line based on IG influencer review. Missed the small building when I drove up. But parking on street and behind building. Ordered Chicken Quesadillas and Dorado tacos but they were out of Chicken on Saturday evening? Good was prepared in front of me. Pre-fried tortillas were cracked open and filled with Crem cheese and the rest of the fillings were placed atop the tortillas. Seemed light on cabbage and onions but after applying sauce from bag it was delicious. Carnitas Quesadilla was full of meat, light on cheese. Tipped the Quesadillas in the bag sauce and spicy green sauce and it was very good. read more

When I saw OMG I mean it and wish that everyone who sees this place would stop and try the food. It's amazing. I felt like I was eating in Guadalajara. The food and service is excellent. The look on the outside doesn't say much as it is a small little restaurant but often times it's the little whole in the wall with the best food. The staff and girl and the counter were very attentive and friendly. Tacos dorados were my favorite dish hands down!!! Definitely try this little gem! read more

Absolutely delicious food! I tried the tacos dorados and they exceeded my expectations! They were just cheese and potatoes tacos but they were topped with a delicious red sauce, cheese and lettuce! My boyfriend tried the carne en su jugo and it was delicious as well! The sauce was on point! It's a small restaurant but the food is loaded with authentic Mexican flavor! Definitely recommend this place! You won't regret it! read more

This review comes with some help from my backseat yelp*er, my hubby. He loves to follow food accounts on IG, and La Chiva Tapatia is one of them. He's drawn to foods that he grew up with, especially foods that remind him of his Dad or his grandparents. I never got around to trying any of mi suegro's cooking, but I'm sure it would have been something I'd enjoy. We only tried La Chiva Tapatia once, but it'll be a place that we'll return to in the future. Their food has great flavor, is reasonably priced, and service was quick and thorough. This is a small place, as I drove right past it, but there's plenty of street and lot parking, outdoor seating, and enough indoor seating for at least 16 people. We ordered the Torta Ahogada, Tacos Dorados de papa sin carne, Tacos Dorados de panela con carne, Carne En Su Jugo, and an horchata. I wanted to order the Tacos de Canasta, but there wasn't enough for a full order (5 tacos). I took that as being a popular item, and will be willing to try it the next time around. We ordered everything to go, and were given a nice baggie full of their very spicy red salsa and the "drowning" sauce for the torta. We poured some of that sauce all over some of the tacos, too. The tacos all had a great crunch to them, and the fillings were just enough. The cabbage and pickled red onions on top added another layer of freshness. I've read that some people thought there was too much cabbage, but our orders had just the right amount. I've made Carne En Su Jugo plenty of times before, so I get kinda partial to my own recipe. Fortunately for La Chiva Tapatia, their recipe doesn't differ too much from mine, lol! It was a good enough portion with plenty of beans, bacon, and beef for every bite. The picture I took of the Carne En Su Jugo does not do it any justice, as I took it right after taking off the lid, and it wasn't mixed around. The flavors are definitely there, and it was still piping hot after the drive home. When we arrived there, there were maybe 4 tables occupied and everyone seemed to be really into their meals. There was an older couple that ordered more food for dine in, and then ordered more food to go. That has to be a good sign that the food is good, yah? When we got our order, almost all the tables were full. We actually got up from waiting from one of the tables to better accommodate the people wanting to dine in. We assumed that it was the grandma, dad, and daughter running the show. I'm always one for supporting small businesses, even more so, family businesses. My daughter and I thought they did a great job getting all the orders out, were very friendly upon entering and leaving, and they communicated well with each other and the patrons. Can't wait to return! read more

The flavor is good 1 to 10 I give them 8 but $4 for a requeson taco without meat is a little over priced they need to put meat in the plate if they ate charging you for that ,almost pure cabbage and onion, same thing with the torta ahogada read more

This is one of the few spots that really has authentic food from Guadalajara. I was hesitant going because I just got back from Guadalajara and was left craving a torta ahogada. To my surprise, the sauce for the torta was very flavorful! Traditionally the torta is not served with refried beans so I simply told them to hold the beans. I just wish they added more meat (carnitas) into the torta. Mine had little meat that didn't balance with the torta and cabbage. Also, I ordered the carne en su jugo and wow! It had soooo much flavor. I'm definitely going back soon as every bite took me back to the motherland. But I will definitely ask them to be generous on the meat for the torta read more

After seeing it all over social media we decided to give this place a try. I'm not one to write a bad review because I like to support small businesses but I'll just attach a photo. I ordered the trio tacos with carne and not only did one still have the toothpick in place, this is what the inside had.. is that supposed to be cheese? Just another place overhyped by social media. read more
