This was was so good!! We found it on Yelp, and decided to try it out. It did not disappoint!! Good Price point Flavorful Plenty of options Friendly staff Salsa bar was a pluss!!! read more

This is my favorite place to get tacos . I am basically here at least once a week. The price here is amazing and they don't skimp out. I am shocked it's never busy here. That's a plus for me because I get a place to eat at and the food comes out fast. This place is really small with a few tables available inside. They don't skimp out on meat. My favorite meat to get is the Al pastor and tripas. When I get carne asada fries it's soggy so I ask them to cook it crispy and it comes out delicious. My boyfriend likes carne asada but when I don't go with him I like to get al pastor in my nacho or fries . The chimichangas are so good they let you order half and half meat but they charge extra for tripas . There tripas meat is so crispy and flavorful. On certain days you can get 4 tacos for ten but it only includes al pastor , carne asada and I think chicken ? I forgot the third one. But the other day they gave my boyfriend and I each an extra taco for free also they added free guac for us that day. My favorite sauce is their orange sauce not sure what it is but it may be too spicy for some but worth that burning booty hole later. I wish this place gave us free chips on the side. read more

Tacos Chapala is hands-down one of the best taquerias in Sacramento, and it shows in every single bite. This is a true family-owned business, and you can feel the pride and care they put into their food the moment it hits the table. We came in on a Sunday and it was just one man behind the grill, making everything by hand. It can take a bit longer to get your food if there is a wait but it is is WELL worth it! What really sets them apart is that everything tastes handmade and authentic--from the tortillas to the salsas. The tortillas are fresh, warm, and full of flavor, not just a vehicle for the meat but a star on their own. The salsas are clearly made in-house, perfectly balanced, and layered with real depth instead of just heat. And the meat quality is on another level. You can genuinely taste the difference between Tacos Chapala and other taquerias. The meat is tender, well-seasoned, and cooked with care--never greasy or bland. Whether you're getting carne asada, al pastor, or anything else on the menu, the flavor is clean, rich, and unmistakably high quality. We had a bit of everything. A ribeye taco with FRESH guacamole. A mulita with carne asada, and pork Al pastor taco, and a birria taco. The birria taco was crispy but not super oily like others. Al pastor had fresh pineapple and was oh so delicious. The beef was outstanding. This is the kind of place that reminds you what real tacos are supposed to taste like--simple, honest, and done right. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food made by people who truly care about their craft, Tacos Chapala is a must. read more

Food was delicious and service was excellent. I found my new favorite spot .this is my first time and I only tried the taco's , I had one of each ( tripas, asada , el pastor and the birria ) once I tasted the tripas I knew I'm going to like their food . The burritos are huge , that's how the other places use to serve it back 2 years ago . Now that I know where taco Chapala is that's where I'll be going I'd like to try everything in the menu . read more

I randomly craved tacos and decided to try this spot since it's nearby. I was not disappointed! The pineapple to the al pastor adds such a good flavor. I also got the asada and chicken, but I would stick to asada and al pastor next time! I also got carne asada fries and those weren't too bad. They do use cheese similar to nacho cheese. Service is great and the place is clean! I will definitely come back. The price is reasonable for a taco too. read more

Tacos Chapala - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Food was amazing the cook is very knowledgeable about all tacos and their sauces. The restaurant is small but very clean.

I used to go to the Tacos Chapala in Stockton so when I found out they were opening a location in Sacramento, I had to go check it out. The staff are friendly and the place is brightly decorated. Pros: I typically get their burritos. My favorite is the California burrito. There's a decent salsa bar, they have a good variety of salsa of varying heat levels. Plenty of parking is available and located close to the freeway. I noticed they even offered birria ramen which is on my list to try. Cons: none read more

Tacos Chapala showed up on my instagram recently, so I decided to give them a try. Their ribeye tacos and burrito are exquisite. And well worth the price of admission alone. Ther al pastor was flavorful, smokey and I loved the pineapple slice. I sampled several of their salsas, and enjoyed them. The price is just about right, and I could see myself becoming a regular here. I think they're still working everything out as I only observed two people running the place on a Saturday night. An extra pair of hands or two could help speed up the wait times. Indoor seating was limited but there was plenty of seating outside in the patio and side of the building. The music was good. read more

They have locations in Stockton and Manteca and now one here in Sacramento/Elk Grove by the Foods Co center. They had a soft opening recently and were offering $1 tacos so we decided to try them. We chose carne asada, lengua, cabeza and al pastor. Let me tell you, they do not skimp on the portions! Meats were all flavorful and they have a salsa/sauce bar too. Sautéed jalapeños and onions included. Got us a side order of rice and chips too. The restaurant is spacious, clean and modern. Service was top notch! Shoutout to Perla, Chuy and Ivonne, they were very nice and awesome. Go check them out! read more

Tacos Chapala - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Definitely recommend this spot!! We ordered asada burritos and a taco de tripa. The burritos were hefty & they did not hold back on the meat like other places do. The tripa was crispy and delicious. They have a salsa bar too & the three that we tried were all really good. We will definitely be back to try more food! read more

Social media trap! After scrolling through these tacos we decided to make the 30min trip. They have fair pricing. Tripas are deep fried which makes them super crunchy like chicharrones not my preferred way 2/10. Asada is thin cut steak on the flat top but lacks flavor and the smokiness of real carne asada 3/10. Lengua was also bland with good texture but very small protein portion in the 2 overcrunchy tortillas, the tortillas should be hot and soft and steamed would be the best! 3/10 Cabeza they were out of it. Alpastor was probably the best protein and this had obviously the most meat-tortilla ratio with good flavor 5/10 The ribeye/Tijuana taco which is the reason we made the trip was indeed the best still nowhere close to other ribeye tacos I've had South. 7/10 The salsa bar is nice and the service is very attentive. read more

Tacos Chapala is a new taqueria near CRC and has only been open about a month. I stopped in and tried the carne asada, pollo, birria, and al pastor tacos. The tacos were delicious, flavorful, and packed with meat. They have a salsa bar with many options to choose from. (The green guacamole salsa was the spiciest in my opinion). Service was friendly and attentive. There is plenty of seating inside and outside in their patio. I only wish they had refried beans, chips with their salsa bar, and a fountain drink dispenser. Tacos are worth your money so stop in and give it a try. Note: this place is located right beside the EZ Jewelry store. The Yelp directions seem to take you to the wrong spot in the plaza. read more

I like their crunchy tacos in Stockton, but for some reason the tacos here isn't that crunchy. It is a different cook? Overall i still like everything else tho. read more

Tacos Chapala is a great, new addition to the plaza across CRC. Originally from Stockton, Tacos Chapala has opened their storefront in Sacramento just recently! My partner and I were excited to try and this lived up to our expectations. We were greeted with warm smiles and welcomes immediately as we walked in. Employees were friendly and answered questions about the menu, even providing recommendations! There were a few tables for people to dine-in and a fully stocked and clean sauce bar. Card payments are accepted but bring cash if you want to tip. At the time we went, tip using card wasn't working. Food itself was delicious! We ordered 4 tacos, carne fries and horchata. They definitely do not skimp and everything tasted fresh! We are looking forward to our next visits and trying more. read more

We were craving mexican on a cold Thursday evening and my wife found this spot right off Yelp. First timers and SO glad we got a solid taco spot in EG. The meat was very tender. The Asada Taco, the meat was a litttttle well done, but salsa fixed that. Their al pastor was amazing. Super sweet and juicy; the marinade was great. Tortillas are great. What amazed me was their chips. Nice light salt to them, good airy crunch, i couldnt stop eating them! (without salsa too!) Overall, this is our new default fave mexican spot for eg! read more

I'm always searching for new birria spots, and this place appeared as a "hot and new restaurant." I called in an order for three tacos (carne asada, lengua, and cabeza), two Quesabirria Tacos, and Birria Ramen, and everything was ready within 15 minutes. The restaurant is clean and has a nice salsa bar. The food was all delicious, especially the birria, and they provided excellent customer service. We'll be returning soon! read more

Overall, tacos were yummy and they had a decent selection of sauces and toppings in the sauce bar. The price was also cheap and worth the portion. It would have been nice if they had daikons in the sauce bar, and they did not have tongs or utensils to grab the toppings, but overall a good experience. read more

Went to try this place because I seen it on TikTok and worst decision I could make I got sick for 3 days food was bad I went in and there was a cook and cashier the cook was so impatient he was waiting and looking at the register to see what we ordered just to get it over with then the cashier she just wanted us to order and leave when I simply asked what's inside the burrito she just says all the stuff and I asked like what then I asked if they had whole beans she said no but then didn't know what beans they even used and on top of that salsa bar is included but chips cost $3 and they give you a giant bag like you buy from the store I'm not sure why you would want a salsa bar with no chips but yeah after getting sick from here I won't be coming back and don't see them lasting long here read more

First time trying this place after getting a taco craving and it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area! read more

If it's about Mexican food, it's not about the place but about the authenticity of the food. When they don't serve hard shell tacos, you know it's all about Mexican food for Mexicans from Mexico. Nevertheless, they were kind enough to toast the tacos the way I like to have it. A place to go to for a 'no nonsense, good ole Mexican food!' Viva México! read more

The burrito was delicious but the service was no good. The worker there was non attentive and seemed like she didn't know the menu when I ordered one item. Probably wouldn't come back. read more

Please don't sleep on this place. Their food is fantastic. Flavorful meat, fresh ingredients, the restaurant is clean, they are so friendly. Did I say clean? Pull up and support this local family business. Ordered tacos, they were so good had to get the torta. Will be back again. Pull up and support local! read more

1st visit here and very disappointed. Ordered a simple Quesadilla. 1st ingredient cheese was non existent. How do you not put cheese in a Quesadilla?!?! This item was blah at best. If you can't make a simple Mexican dish such as this then I just don't know it's a pass for me on this place. read more

It's a shame that this place is already going down hill and it hasn't even been open for a month yet. I came on the weekend it first opened and the ambiance was incredible. Food was good and made correctly and staff were nice. Since I had a great first experience I decided to come today with some friends for their first try. For starters, the lady in the "queen" shirt was just staring us down from beginning to end. I witnessed my burrito being made wrong. The lady in the "queen" shirt on the prep line also noticed the mistake but continued to bag up my food anyways. It wasn't until she realized that I kept looking her way that she decided to untie the bag & take my burrito out to fix it. It baffled me that she was even considering giving me my order wrong KNOWING it was made incorrectly. To top it off, one of my friend's burritos was also made wrong and we did not realize until we got home. When we went back into the restaurant to have the order remade "queen" shirt lady would not own up to her mistaken. We saw "queen" lady make the order and she still had the nerves to blame the cashier. The cook accommodated by apologizing and providing a complimentary drink but as the cook was doing so "queen" shirt lady proceeds to say "i don't know who made your order but sorry." We could not handle the service that was provided today. read more
