    We have been back several times and like it so much better now that we understand 'their system'. It is seat yourself at an open table, unless there is a wait. There is not a specific server assigned to your table - just make eye contact with any of them. They are always fast and efficient. The Fideo w/ Picadillo was probably some of the best that I"ve ever had! It was a little pricey, but the portion was huge! Mague's Special Plate is also very good! My wife had the Enchiladas Verde, and she said they were also very good. It is a smaller restaurant, with tight seating, but it is clean, bright and cheerful. Will definitely be back!

    We had yummy food but the service was pretty slow. The waiter brought out my food and we had to wait another 15-20 minutes for my husband's meal. They do not have a bar, or a fountain soda. They don't have queso, and I was disappointed in the lack of salsa to dip chips. The restaurant is small, disorganized and needs a remodel. Friendly staff, but I would recommend going to other excellent restaurants in the area!

    The most authentic Mexican breakfast you will find in Boerne, hands down. (I am Mexican therefore consider myself an expert.) The service is also excellent.

    Chilaquiles plate

    Every time we come the food is so yummy and we get such great, friendly service. Their chilaquiles are a must try!!!

    To start, when visiting on a very busy Saturday morning the service was terrific despite other reviews trashing it. The young man serving us made suggestions and the restaurant was happy to do 2 different types of enchiladas on the same entree plate although enchilada combos weren't on the menu. They even stopped us while we were preparing to leave to top off our tea to-go cups. It's clean and cheerful inside, a little loud but in a social local way. Lots of families. The prices are very very reasonable. A couple of beef items were $10-$12 but everything else was below $10. There's a big tray of Mexican pastries in the middle of the dining room. Looked delish but I wanted to save my appetite for my gordita picadillo and enchiladas. Glad I did because the picadillo was incredibly flavorful (unusual for this often bland beef and potato comfort food). I'd come back just for the picadillo. The green enchilada was bright and zingy and the chicken tender and moist. The mole enchilada had very deep complex flavors. Very rich. Good breakfast plates, solid beans and rice. Try the Mague's Special Taco for a yummy switch up on breakfast tacos. Very good house made tortillas. I wasn't a fan of the green salsa on the table nor the relleno, but that's a matter of taste. Recommended.

    I gave them four stars as the best overall Mexican food in Boerne. Good restaurants are scarce in Boerne. The food here was super hot, fresh and tasty. This is my new go to restaurant in Boerne. I had the Mexican plate and my wife had the Fiesta plate. It was a lot of food and the crispy taco was extra perfect. Wrapping up the meal I went for a tortilla. The tortilla was very magical as it was one of the best I have had in awhile. To be clear compared to other Mexican restaurants in San Antonio I would rate this more of a 3 than a 4. We enjoyed a side of pico de gallo and felt it was worth the extra $1-2. It was not as full of tomatoes just the way we like it.

    Salsa and queso were bland, and it took forever for staff to get to my table. In addition to that, the chips were rather chewy.

    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.

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!

This location in Blanco is one of 3 locations in the Hill Country, so they were popular enough to expand. I went up to the counter with no line and ordered 4 tacos: Sean, Barbacoa, Monterrey, and a Pork in green sauce. The best was the Barbacoa, but this is just a preference. The Sean taco was pretty traditional and one I always enjoy at any breakfast taco spot. The Monterrey was tasty with the beef and cilantro. Overall, the service was quick, tacos with homemade tortillas were delicious and prices were very reasonable....which was everything I had hoped for.

It is still as fun to visit. Very busy and even entertaining to watch them make these tacos.

Both of my tacos were extremely salty! When I saw my friend I said nothing and handed her the tacos... first bite she said the exact same thing. Hopefully it was just an off day for them. Still it is an experience by itself to visit the restaurant
