    Regular carne asada burrito + grilled shrimp
    Monica M.

    Wow..can I just say, wow? WOW! First time here and got a surf and turf burrito. Not on the menu but requested to add shrimp, which they gladly did! After finally having to accept that the taco truck in the new Construction area was all we had for decent Mex food, I am sooooo glad we found our spot! Great selection of salsas, sides and they even have the grilled onions and jalapeños. My elementary ages kids loved it too and confirmed as well. They said it was bussin'...which I found out means 'da bomb' for us millennials lol

    What a great find in the Manteca area! The restaurant is clean, the staff is knowledgeable and kind. I have a gluten allergy and they went above and beyond to accommodate me. They offered to wipe down the grill prior to toasting my corn tortilla to help avoid cross contamination. The salsa bar is very clean, and the restaurant is spacious. I was tempted to try one of their refreshing agua frescas, but I had reached my sugar quota for the day. I think I've found my go to spot when I'm visiting Manteca.

    5 STARS. It was my first time here and I enjoyed the customer service and I really enjoyed the tacos! I ordered a few tacos with different meats and I loved them. Very tasty. The only thing is the high tables, they are wobbly. I'll be back for more.

    I'm a big fan of this restaurant/taqueria. It's clean, huge space for seating, a nice open kitchen with friendly employees, etc. they also have a salsa bar with different types of salsas and toppings. I came with my family today and we had a great time. I enjoyed their Birria ramen which had loads of meat and consume. The flavors are incredible with the broth mixed with the consume. The shredded beef is tender but I will say, I thought they added way too much birria meat and it overshadowed the ramen noodles. They might need to lessen the meat. The burrito is huge and will definitely stuff you up. I thought the rice and beans needed more salt because one side of the burrito was bland. I ordered four tacos: 2 tripas (extra crispy) and Al Pastor. The tacos are delicious and full of meat and seasoning. I love that they add a small slice of sweet pineapple on top of the al pastor. I thought their carne asada is a bit too saucy for my liking. Usually, I love carne asada when it's more on the steak-type texture rather than being soaked in sauce and wet. Either way, their tacos are fire. I thoroughly enjoyed their Tortas too! I had a carne asada torta and it tasted phenomenal; I can stand the carne asada in this sandwich rather than a taco or burrito. The bread is fresh and crisp with melted white cheese. I would come back for this. Prices here are excellent with $2.50 a taco, supreme burritos for $11.00. And more! I'd like to thank my bro in law and sister for telling us about Tacos Chapala. I will definitely come back!

    Tacos are really good! Tried an assortment of tacos ranging from carne asada, al pastor, cabesa and tripas and they were all seasoned well. They have a salsa bar that you can pile on to your plate. The have different sauces and veggies to top of your tacos. Service was quick, fast and friendly. Restaurant is clean and nice.

    I order some asada fries and it's a little to mushy for my tasting looks good but fries were too soggy for my liking but keep in mind I had it to go, I'll probably stop in and dine in and update my review but try it for yourself , looking forward to try other items here, stay tuned.

    Carne asada quesadilla (half) I ate the other half too fast lol
    Laura v.

    I barely finished my food and I'm still sitting in the restaurant writing this review. We ordered a burrito bowl, quesadilla, and supreme burrito. They all were very good but the quesadilla was my favorite!!!! I haven't had a quesadilla with so much flavor before. I did have to say no salsa and pico on it because I don't really like spicy food but it was still super flavorful. My burrito had salsa and pico in it so it was too spicy for me but my husband loved it. I would definitely come here again!! The place is clean with a really nice vibe also. The girl that took our order was very kind and helpful with answering questions too.

    We were driving through Manteca stopped by Tacos Chapala - wow it hit the spot. The quesa birria taco was delicious the consume on point! My husband had the Al pastor burrito and just as great. They have lots of salsas to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for tacos, burritos or combo plate you can't go wrong. The restaurant has a cozy vibe! Quick service you order and sit down. We will definitely be back when passing through.

    Horchata + Salsas
    Hieu T.

    Salsas are great. Personally like the green sauce. Tacos are delicious. Birria has a nice flavor. Not too heavy and great portions. Horchata is bomb. Location is easy to get to and pretty large.

    My family lives near this taco spot and they recommended it to me. The way it works you order at the counter they give you a number. They call your number when your food is ready. In the meantime, you could go to the salsa bar and grab their delicious salsas . The hot sauces are definitely really good. The orange one is my favorite. I was looking for the little plastic containers to put your salsa in to my surprise, you have to ask for them in the front. Maybe it's a way to control people from getting more not sure.? Also it would be great to have napkins on the table since the tacos get pretty messy . The inside was clean and organized. The food was very delicious. My family and I really enjoyed our time here we ended up putting some tables together everyone was very accommodating and nice. The horchata was very delicious. Definitely a good spot to grab some quick tacos and other goodies.

    Had an asada burrito and meat was tough and chewy. Meat quality for the asada here is absolutely terrible, was spitting most if not all of the "meat" back out. DISGUSTING

    chicken and asada enchilada and birria taco
    April P.

    This is by far the best Mexican food I've had in Manteca. I ordered two enchilada one chicken and one asada the green sauce recommended by the gentleman helping me, and it did not disappoint. I also ordered a birria taco, which was a solid 10/10. All of the salsas had excellent flavor as well. Although I don't live in the area, I would definitely make the drive back just to eat here again. The restaurant itself is charming, with thoughtful décor and a well-put-together atmosphere. I'm excited to return and try more items from the menu. The service is 10/10.

    Pretty table decor with my large  Horchata!
    Destry H.

    Nice little spot in Manteca, with modern decor, and friendly staff working there. The one thing I can say. The grilled shrimp tacos were probably some of the best I've had in a while. I also ordered a plate of their asada fries. I normally dont eat a lot of fries and I probably won't again. And its not because I didn't like the asada fries,they were absolutely delicious. Because I slaughtered that plate, but my body just rejects it. But like I said earlier, I really loved the tacos and would definitely ordered them again and probably more than just two of them. So stand by, to stand by because I'll be in the area again soon...and I'm looking forward to more grilled shrimp tacos and something else on their abundantly delicious menu!

Everything is priced very reasonably, too. Food: Two enchiladas with carne asada: 5/5 -- I prefer the salsa verde, but you can do red or both! Their big plates come with rice and refried beans. Bean dip: 5/5 -- I could come here just for this! Warm refried beans with crema, queso fresco, and salsa verde. Chips & Salsa: 5/5 -- Some of the chips are nice and puffy, which is a fun and different texture as you go through the basket. I always ask for extra salsa to eat with my meal! Service: Our servers have always been friendly and attentive! Ambiance: They play a mix of different Latin music, and they don't blast it through the speakers.

She said it will coast extra for slices of limes or lemon. She said that Is their rule...it blew my mind That asked for limes for Mexican Food At charge . That was Greed and lacked any customer Satisfaction for 2 slices of lemon or lime. It is common practice that all Mexican Latino restaurants, taquerias, That serve Mexican food will Not charge for 2 slices of lemon or lime Cmon el Jardin you lost a good customer Over charging for lime slices...unbelievable It's the point of them just being greedy . Also on all Honesty el jardin manteca is priced way over the top for average Mexican food. !

    First time coming here. Parking lot is in the back behind the liquor store. There should be a sign…read morethat says parking. Came in around 11 for lunch. Place has a salsa bar and some limited seating. I ordered the carne asada super quesadilla as well as two chicharonnes tacos and a horchata. Was given a tray for chips and two cups for the salsa bar. Salsa bar was pretty good they had a lot of options as well as grilled/pickled veggies. Food came out and the quesadillas were sliced in a narrow way which i liked cuz i can dip in the salsa. Tacos were also good and flavorful. Overall great place for Mexican food. For sure would come back and try their ribs or other meats.

    Today, we went to try this place out. I ordered a whole chicken and half a pound of pork belly…read morechicharrones. I was initially hesitant about the chicharrones since they cost $5.00 each and looked a little old. I asked if they were fresh, and they assured me they were. The nice lady convinced me to get a half pound for $10.00, which is usually about three pieces. Surprisingly, when I got home and opened the box, I found a few extra pieces--thank you! Unfortunately, the pieces were really tough, and even with a sharp knife, they were hard to cut. The flavor overall was good; I just wish I could've eaten them when they were soft and tender. The other highlight was the fresh homemade corn tortillas that came with the whole chicken I purchased. The chicken cost $23.00, which is expensive, but it was definitely worth it. The smoky flavor was delicious, and the tortillas were great. The last thing I'll mention is that their salsa bar had a nice variety of choices. The pork belly chicharrones aren't a deal breaker for me. I'll give this place another try, and try some of their other options. I encourage anyone interested to do the same.

But the recent changes to the Monday/Wednesday happy hour tacos caught me off guard. The deal now requires everyone at the table to buy alcohol, not just one person -- and the tacos themselves have gotten smaller, too. I don't really have a problem with the alcohol policy itself; that's pretty standard for happy hour. What got me was the service. I sat at the bar for nearly 20 minutes and the bartender ignored me the whole time -- no greeting, no heads-up about the new policy, nothing. Had someone just told me, I would've sat in the dining room from the start. No signage, no note on the menu, no acknowledgment at the bar. All around, a disappointing experience.
