On our way back home from Florida and stopped in Chapel Hill as a stop on the way back. Wanted to have dinner and found this Mexican restaurant near our hotel. Our waitress was very friendly and guided us in our selection for dinner. Everything we had was fresh and delicious. We love Mexican food and the quality of this food was top notch. Highly recommend for the quality and flavor of the food. read more

Came here with some friends a while ago and had a good time. We were seated immediately and service was attentive. The interior is large and feels clean, typical Mexican restaurant vibe. I got the shredded chicken nachos without beans and thought they were pretty good, not light on the meat. My friend got the ACP and enjoyed it. My other friend got the fish tacos and thought they were dry and could use more seasoning. Affordable pricing. Overall: decent Mexican place right next to UNC-CH campus. read more

The food is mid and honestly I was really unimpressed. I could make a better chicken quesadilla at home. Also the tequila in the cantarito was sooooo disgusting that it ruined the cantarito (my favorite drink). For perspective on that, I have never left a drink half drank on the table before until last night. The cheese dip is okay. Strawberry margarita was okay, my husband he's had better and worse. read more

We came on a Thursday and were able to be seated right away. It was a nice atmosphere and we had enough space for our stroller. The food was very yum- I got carne asada and my husband got the crunch wrap. It was a good size portion and very fresh! read more

Came here with my family on a Saturday for dinner and we were very pleased with our meal! Que Chula is a newer Mexican Restaurant located in downtown Chapel Hill. There is a parking garage near by as well, which is very convenient. The vibes are super vibrant and fun, which definitely add to the experience. I really appreciated the interior and all the decor throughout the restaurant. They do offer indoor and outdoor seating, as well as bar seats. I thought the service was pretty good too. Our server noticed the sun was blaring through the window and offered to fix the blinds without use even saying anything, very attentive! They gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu and were able to answer questions we had regarding the menu. The compliantly chips and salsa are perfect. As the salsa is really fresh tasting and the chips were warm and freshly prepared. I also appreciate that they gave us each our own salsa ramekin. They also did a great job filling waters and restocking chips. To start, we decided on the nachos, which were AMAZING. They consisted of a nice layer of freshly prepared tortilla chips, topped with copious amounts of picadillo ground beef (or shredded chicken), queso dip, sour cream, black charro beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, and queso fresco cheese. These were so good and there was a nice balance of each element in the dish. The chips didn't get too soggy and the meat was super flavorful. A perfect dish to share, would definitely recommend this as a starter for the table! For our entrees, my mom and I decided on the Platoon Relleno. This dish included a whole sweet plantain topped with skirt steak, oaxaca cheese, garden chimichurri, mixed fajita veggies, rice, and black charro beans. Wow! This was dish was full of so much flavor and was like nothing I'd had before. The plantain was sweet and paired perfectly with the tender steak topped with the savory chimichurri. The rice was also full of flavor and the beans were great too. The melty cheese atop the plantain was the perfect addition. The portion of steak was large and the dish was very filling, with just the right portions of each element. Overall, a very tasty, unique dish that impressed both my mom and I. Seriously could rave about it all day, I would highly recommend this! My dad was really hungry and ended up ordering the crunch wrap, which was huge! The crunch wrap was a 12" tortilla filled with grilled steak (or chicken), lettuce, chipotle aioli, pico de gallo, and melty queso cheese. This dish was huge! The toasted cheese on the outside was perfection and the amount of filling was nice as well. My dad really enjoyed this and noted on how "authentic" it tasted. He also really, really liked the steak, noting on how tender and flavorful it was. To end the meal, we tried their coconut flan. I have never had flan before and was really excited to try this. We all were also impressed with flan. It was really yummy with a nice, light constancy. And I cannot go without mentioning the drinks. My mom and I indulged in the skinny margarita, while my dad ordered a Mexican beer. The margaritas were so fresh and very strong. My mom and I agreed that they were some of the best we've had. My dad also really liked his beer and the way it was served. Overall, our meal at Que Chula left us very full and satisfied. We were still raving about our meals the following day! You can tell they use higher quality ingredient that are fresh, it is evident in the taste of their food. Everything we ordered hit the spot. The chips and salsa to start were great, our entrees were boasting of great flavor, and the flan was the perfect was to end the meal. The drinks are strong and super fresh, a meal wouldn't be complete without one! The service is great, very attentive, and helpful. They did a wonderful job filling water, refilling our chip basket, and checking in on us. I absolutely loved the interior and thought it was really vibrant, creating a fun vibe. I would really recommend checking out this place if you are in the area looking for some tasty, authentic, high quality Mexican food. Que Chula will surely not disappoint you and you won't regret your decision to dine here! read more

Love the colorful open space decor, truly feel and look Mexican. The margaritas were oh so delicious and food was great. I truly enjoyed the fish ceviche, the portion size was great. The chips and salas were very tasty. The tacos were warm and delicious plus it came with more sides, very large portions, reasonably priced. Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable pointed us in the right direction for drinks and food selections. Cheers. read more

Came here on a quiet weekend at around noon - it wasn't super busy so we got seated right away and the waiter regularly checked up on us and refilled our chips and water. We also got our order pretty quickly. The michelada was excellent - it came in a large stein that lasted me through the entire meal. It had just the right mix of tangy lime, spicy chili, and a subtle, savory saltiness that made it incredibly refreshing. The addition of the tamarind was also a fun surprise. The drink itself was definitely worth it - 5/5 and I'd highly recommend. I got the pork belly que chula tacos. The pork belly was excellent but I thought the glaze was a bit too sweet and didn't mix super well with the guac - too much of a sweet savory contrast for me. The portion size was very generous - I was very full by the end of the meal. I'd be happy to come here again and try something else. The menu itself is huge so you'll be bound to find something that you like on it. read more

Stopped for a quick bite and a margarita before a UNC game. Sat at the bar and the service was great. Immediately served warm chips and fresh salsa. We both ordered a skinny margarita - was very good, but not freshly squeezed juice. Husband ordered the wet burrito and it was delicious! Huge portion and so good. I wasn't super hungry, so ordered the jalapeno poppers as an app/dinner. I can handle spicy, but these were by far the hottest jalapeños I've ever eaten. I could barely finish one before my eyes were in tears :) However, the bartender was very aware and offered to take them back and replace it with something else which was great customer service. I just wasn't hungry enough to swap them out, so my husband ate two and then drank alot of water Just beware if you're not into hot ! We'd come back - very authentic and great service. read more

Wow. What a great spot right in the heart of Chapel Hill. Chips and salsa was wonderful and the service attentive. The star of my day was the tortilla soup and carnitas platter. You could taste the "grill" on the chicken in the soup and the broth was equally lip smacking. The fall apart carnitas was delicious in the warm tortillas served with it. I recommend this place without hesitation. read more

I don't know why or how I waited so long to try Que Chula!! I hear so many good things and am happy to confirm that the hype is deserved! We got takeout with some friends and the food was delicious.

I haven't left a review for any restaurants for a hot minute now but this place... THIS PLACE freaking rocks! It's had to hop back in Yelp and give credit. I travel for work and eat at different mexican restaurants around the country and this spot literally hit the spot. The salsa that comes with the chips for starters has such a great taste. I went a bit overboard with that and didn't leave enough room for my Carne Asada. I never do that btw., most places their chips and salsa are just blah. The main dish, carne asada, had my taste buds jumping for joy. I asked for a spicy salsa and was given the habanero salsa. Spicy but so flavorful. The tuna margarita is also a must.. had 2. The service was also great, I was seated right away and my server was super friendly. Ambiance on point as well. You can tell it's a Mexican restaurant but modern. Gotta ck it out if in the area. read more

The decor and ambiance in Que Chula is unmatched! The restaurant is so beautiful and they even have a large outdoor patio too. We really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. You can tell the salsa is homemade! I got the gringa quesadilla which included pork, oaxaca cheese and pineapple, so unique! I also got rice as my side and it was the best Mexican rice I've ever had! Perfectly cooked, so soft and fluffy. My husband got the wet burrito and absolutely loved it. The chicken was well cooked and the burrito was quite literally swimming in delicious queso. My only con for this restaurant is the price. We spent $50 on just a causal lunch, although the portion sizes are generous it was just a bit pricier than what I expected. I would definitely go back to try out the margaritas, their drink menu looked quite extensive! read more

I've only been here a few times and while the food is good, the service isn't the best. Both times I've been here, we only saw our waiter for our food order and then for our check. They also charged me for my order and then another tables order, but did correct the mistake. I got the burrito and was impressed by how big it is. They have a nice outdoor seating section and the inside is vibrant. They are dog friendly too, which is nice. read more

The food was amazing! The service was great, and the location is perfect for outdoor dining experience.

So far, I haven't dined in at this restaurant. My first time trying it, I was in a bit of a hurry, and I ordered a chicken chimichanga to go. I was a bit skeptical at first since I had heard mixed reviews about the place. An employee came to help me very promptly and took my order and offered to let me take a seat inside. The chairs are comfortable and I really like how colorful it is inside. There's just so much to look at! My food came out pretty quickly (about 10-15 minutes) end it was hot and packed well with chips, salsa, and plastic silverware. I got back home, had open it up and it was still hot! That chimichanga was almost life-changing as it was my first time experiencing some authentic Mexican flavors outside of the local burrito place on Franklin Street. it really tastes like home. The chimichanga was packed with flavor and can serve as two meals for me, since the portion is pretty large. read more

Love it. We enjoyed the mega marg, the fish tacos, and lots of chips and salsa. The servers are all sweet too.

Great price. Great atmosphere. Great crowd. Great service. No complaints here. The place was full and staff was accommodating and very cordial. I ordered the beef birria quesadilla and it was delicious. Loads of beef and cheese in the quesadilla dipped in the broth and the broth itself was very tasty and hearty. It was super filling so word of warning, don't order anything else and try to skip any apps if you go for this cuz it'll be a challenge... in a good way of course. They give free chips and salsa which is the standard and the chips were warm and salsa had a nice kick that would appease most taste bud. Recommend as a place to take out-of-town guests. read more

We picked Que Chula because of the attractive outdoor patio looked like it was calling our name. Funny....it was!! We were sat and greeted and everyone was so nice. I love when a server approaches and you know instantly you are in good hands. She recommended her favorites both drinks and entrees. We took her up on her recommendations and we're not disappointed. One slight set back a couple of items came out cool not hot, that wasn't enough to lower the 5 star review. I never went inside so I can't comment on the interior but we were impressed with the food and service!! read more

The al pastor tacos were probably one of the most flavorless tacos I've ever tried. The pork had barely any salt or seasoning, and many pieces were hard and chewy that I had to spit out. I got a side salad which was tasty, but had too much dressing on it. The only good thing was the complimentary chips and salsa. The ambience and decor is quite nice, but I wouldn't want to come back. read more

High expectations shut down by questionable packaging decisions. Everyone likes a good taco from time to time. I was recommended to visit Que Chulla due to many recommendations from the community. Since I had some DoorDash credits handy I decided to opt in for delivery. Items ordered: - Chimi Changa - Chula Pescado tacos - Tres Leches slice Not sure if my order was rushed, lack of care of person packing the order, inappropriate containers not suitable for takeout or all of the above. Pescado tacos arrived like they were in a dryer on high spin. Filling everywhere, taco shells saturated with amount of sauce. Protein was very dense, dry and didn't really taste like anything. It was also cold. I would recommend using take out containers with dividers. That way individual components don't end up mushed together. Dressing, sauces and other condiments should be in a separate container to by assembled at the time of feast. Soft tacos should be wrapped in tin foil to preserve shape and texture. I won't review Chimi Changas since those were missing from my order for some reason. Tres Leches cake while flavorful again was not packed in a right container. Tall slices of cake require tall container (bow towards Cheesecake Factory for doing it right). Flat container result in squashing the desert. Attaching for reference picture taken from the business (for dine in experience) vs what arrived. Only saving grace was flavor of the slaw, plantains and cake. Nonetheless I'll be revisiting this place in the coming months for both dine in and take out/delivery experience to check how things are. Until then 2 stars. read more

Food was ok a little bland. The quesa birria was missing something, needed more seasoning. Al pastor tacos had the hardest chunks of pineapple. The server was attentive but had a mean face on the whole service. Not one smile. Food took awhile to come out even tho they had so much staff in this small restaurant. read more

What a fantastic place, the inside was really nice with beautiful art all over the walls and nice lights that really set the place up to be a good time. I ordered a chimichanga, and boy was it loaded. It had tons of chicken and rice, and was covered with baked cheese. I absolutely loved it and really recommend if you're really hungry. I personally wasn't able to finish it all, and took some back home for lunch the next day. The chicken tinga taco was really light and refreshing. It came with a side of rice and beans. The tacos are served as 3 individual "mini" tacos which I kind of enjoyed because it made them way easier to hold and eat. Overall great place, and looking forward to coming back to try their frozen margaritas. read more

It is not that common to be asked how you would like to have your steak cooked in a Mexican restaurant - but they asked. I said medium rare. When the carne asasa came, it was cut into slices -- with each slice clearly well done. Not the slightest hint of pink. I kindly pointed it out to the waiter but did not want to spoil the mood at the table, but three others around the table had similarly ordered steak of some kind medium rare only to get it well done. No effort was made to make it up to us. read more
