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. read more

Tacos Chapala - My first mulita - Mexican Near Me - Manteca, California

Don't come here unless you want your burrito to be cold and fall apart. Couldn't even enjoy the food, tried our best to take a few bites but it was not good. We bring our food back with a few bites and ask for a refund, they refuse and only give us half. Burritos weren't even half way. Front employee is standing there arguing with me saying we ate more than half of the burrito, when clearly the burrito is still covering the entire container. Don't even waste your time coming here. read more

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. read more

Tacos Chapala - First time here - Mexican Near Me - Manteca, California

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 read more

Tacos Chapala - Regular carne asada burrito + grilled shrimp - Mexican Near Me - Manteca, California

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. read 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! read more

Young lady at the counter had the nastiest face and doesn't know how to answer simple questions. Food was mid too

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Wow, I can't believe I haven't written a review for my favorite restaurant! I must've been trying to keep it a secret, but they deserve the praise! Everything we've had is absolutely amazing and full of flavor! We've brought family who are visiting here and they've always loved it! Food is served hot and fast! I love the option to pay ahead, especially with larger groups! I've never had a bad experience, the team is amazing! Before they opened in Manteca, we'd make the trek to Stockton for their birria! It's the best around if you ask me! My favs: Birria anything Menudo Tacos Chile verde! I recommend you order your favorite dish, you will not be disappointed! read more

Friendly service, good food though the cleanliness standards have slipped since last time I visited. Could have just need a hard Monday but either way deserves a 4 star rating to me read more

You guys seriously need to cut this out.. I know stuffing burritos full of rice makes them look fatter, but remember, we eventually have to eat them and discover this foolishness. It really isn't enjoyable to eat burritos this way as excess rice tends to soak up the other ingredients so please fix this, especially when we pay for extra meat. read more

One of the best in town! I will always love La Costa first, but Chapala is a very close tie. I love the food but some of the items are a little pricey. Chios n salad should come with meal if eating in. read more

Tried them out today and overall the food was great. I ordered 3 tacos--2 tripa and 1 al pastor. The tripa was excellent, super flavorful and cooked just right. The al pastor was okay, nothing too special. My son got 2 tacos (asada and chicken) and both were fire! We also tried the birria ramen, and that was extraordinary--definitely a highlight. On the flip side, the chorizo taco wasn't great, kind of a miss. The flauta order was tasty though, no complaints there. I also really liked that they have a salsa bar with a nice variety. The guacamole salsa tasted like it was close to expiring, but all the other salsas were really good. read more

Love this place.. Haven't tried the Birria tacos yet but the tacos the burritos are so good the steak is perfect like I like. Little fat little meaty.. but my go to place for sure read more

Delicious, fresh and fast. Really close to EV chargers too. Staff was friendly and efficient. Great spot.

All I can say about this place is that there are only a couple of good things on the menu... The tacos and quesadillas! Whatever you do, stay away from the churro donut. And if you are not aware, their scoops of ice cream are bagged... there is no actual scooping taking place. This place does this fusion thing that doesn't make sense. Taqueria Yvette is definitely our go to. read more

This has been open for over a year now and on my list to try. I finally made it out there for a Thursday lunch. The ambience is very simple, modern, chic. They did a great job. You order at the counter, and they have a decent size menu with options. We tried the breed bowl and breakfast burrito, and both of them were absolutely delicious. The burrito bowl seemed much more fresh than chipotle. Service was good, the place was also clean, and our food came out in about 10 minutes or so. They also have a salsa bar so you can pick any of salsa, or sides. read more

This was my first experience at this restaurant & I was greeted with a clean and up beat environment ! I ordered the 4 quesabirria tacos along with the consume. They make it different compared to most places but I will say their technique holds a better crunch and the flavor profile is still the same as many others! For about $4 per crispy taco it is hard to say no to such reasonable prices. Will definitely be visiting again read more

I've been to the Chapala in Stockton before, but honestly this Manteca location is a lot better plus way cleaner. They also have an open kitchen so you can see your food being made. It's the usual ordering process where you order then sit down and wait for your food to be given to you. Only downside is you have to pay for chips, but not a huge deal. I personally ordered the Carne Asada Taco & Al Pastor Taco. Each taco is $2.75 which is a solid price. The Al Pastor and Carne Asada were pretty standard. I definitely prefer the Asada more. The meat to tortilla and salsa ratio is perfect too. The tortilla was really soft and doesn't fall apart while eating it. The Carne Asada Quesadilla ($11) blew my mind. That thing is MASSIVE. For $11 too it is a great deal. It was absolutely loaded with Asada and guacamole. It is definitely a sharable item and I couldn't even finish it despite being a total glutton myself. It is great value and I'd recommend it. Once you finish the staff cleans the table and dishes for you. Customer service is pretty friendly overall and the store is basically spotless. This is certainly a great spot for authentic Mexican food. read more

This place has great service and their food is equally delicious! The tripitas tacos were bomb and perfectly crispy! I also can't think of too many other places that make beans as good as theirs. I love the cute touch of flowers on the tables. My only real complaint is that there needs to be a better ventilation system because it was insanely smokey inside. My daughter started crying mid meal because her eyes were burning, and then we both left smelling like I had been barbecuing since 4 am. Other than that, everything was good. read more

I'd ordered the burrito bowl at the truck when it was in town. Having a dry space when it's raining seems a good idea right now. I ordered the Burrito Bowl and a Small Jamaica. She didn't ask me what I wanted on the burrito bowl, unlike when I ordered at the truck. I was a bit surprised at the price of the Small Jamaica--$4.75 seems a lot. It wasn't a long time and one of the people preparing food brought it to me at the counter near the doors. It was served in those same aluminum baking trays that they used for the truck. There was a surprise--guacamole. I don't like guacamole. I didn't complain, but I scooped out most of it and mixed everything. They didn't say anything from that point. Food was good, although it wasn't as hot as expected. I suppose that they have to make loads and just combine it. At $15.97 + $5.00 tip at the end, it's a once a month kind of meal for me. There was too much food, and because I walk, I didn't take the rest with me. I hope they'll be successful. read more

I'd been wanting to try this restaurant and it was pretty good!

They are filled with horchata pudding and a side of ice cream. The place was clean and modern and I also appreciated the salsa bar. The guy who took our order was also very nice and answered our questions about the menu. We will be back! read more
