This place is awesome. Very reasonable price for the portion sizes. Salsas are excellent and everything is fresh, fast and delicious. Not fancy but super solid. Will definitely be back next time we stay at the Marriott hotel about 2 Blocks away. read more

Went drive thru and it was fast and friendly. Really good barbacoa !! Not too fatty, good flavor, moist. Perfect.

I'm a huge fan of local & non chain restaurants, so when we were looking for a place for dinner my kiddo popped Yelp open and found Taqueria Chapala just off the highway we were headed down. We took a chance and... boy did it pay off. The decor of the place is kind of a fun, old rustic farmhouse feel with a fun sense of humor. We split the mini tacos and birria tacos (because apparently it's the big thing for 2023-2024 and everyone has it.). On the mini tacos - The beef fajitas were delicious. The Al Pastor was good and flavorful. There was a mountain of grilled onions and 2 jalapeños. Perfect for 2 to split. The birria was tasty as well. For those not in the know, birria is like a shredded pot-roast marinated in adobo and put in a pan-fried corn tortilla with delicious Oaxacan cheese. Served with a dipping "soup" on the side. The service was good. The food was good. The price was decent. About $30 out the door including tip. read more

The food and service have completely fallen off at this location. This used to be our go to spot but during the last visit, the server disappeared after dropping off drinks with no straws, no chips and all but one entree. No update on the status of the missing entree even after 10 minutes. Very disappointing. read more

The experience I just had was awful. I ordered a plate of food with a side of sour cream . First, the sour cream looked very very lumpy. I decided to look past that and as I was stirring the sour cream. Trying to convince myself to look past I come across an object in the sour cream. I was disgusted then I kept looking at it it was brown specks in it as well I was over it at that point service was fine read more

This Chapala used to be located on South Congress and was a regular dinner spot for my family. They are right off the highway now, a little bit bigger dining room. If you have cash bring it as they add a percentage for card payments. They have a great ceviche. We also love their Barbacoa, and fajitas. They have great prices and any combination of tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas you can imagine. Service is quick and attentive. This is a good place for large groups and kiddos. read more

Prices are not updated on their website and there is no option to order online. So if you order pickup expect to pay more than 20% more than you were expecting. 50%+ for kids meals. I'm almost certain the kids chicken and fries is from McDonald's. Everything about both the fries and the nuggets strongly conveys that to be the case. read more

Super friendly service, great selection of traditional Tex Mex dishes, authentic tacos with fresh tortillas (I had barbacoa, adobada, lingua), and delicious salsas. All for very reasonable prices! read more

Hidden away and get also right there on the side of the road. Stopped by this morning for a breakfast taco (beans and cheese), a non-breakfast taco (lengua), and a small menudo (with hominy). The drive through was easy and surprisingly fast. They package everything really nicely for take out; no spilling of my menudo. Everything was very flavorful. The tripe in the menudo was probably the star - suuuper tender! Highly recommend. read more

My review is only for breakfast tacos, because that's all I've ever ordered, but I tell you, this is THE place. My personal favorite is the potato and egg. The potatoes are big and chunky, the eggs are fluffy. I also recommend the bean and cheese. They've done large orders for me (3 dozen) to take to workplace breakfast, and everyone raved. Before 11am, you can get 2 ingredient tacos for $1.89 each. After 11am, it's $2.29. Call ahead and the drive through goes much faster. read more

This is one of the best Mexican places in the area. You would never know; you can hardly see it driving by. The sign is faded, and it's a super run down building. But they have great food! I ordered a fajita meal for delivery. It was HUGE. It came with ALL the works. I just kept pulling more, and more, and more out of the bag. Fresh ingredients. The meal was full of flavor. I went back for some tacos with my son. They were also delicious. Definitely the best in the area. This is a hidden gem. (Hidden in plain site...it's right on 290). Check it out, you won't regret it. read more

This place offers pretty good food and I can see why it's heavily favored by local residents. From the outside, the place looks simple but the food is spot on. Definitely worth the visit - I do recommend! read more

Both me and my husband had the taco plates on 2/17/22. The taco shells were cold. After telling the waitress her only response was "do you want another one "? When we checked out I noticed they charged a convenience fee on our debit card. No notice on the door or menu or explanation. We won't be back. read more

Wow So I just moved down the road and was looking for some breakfast tacos! These hit the spot. Probably the fluffiest tortillas I've ever had. Can't wait to come back and try some dinner. I saw birria tacos and I'm already excited to try them. read more

Really good food for a good price. Favorite Mexican spot in the area. Carne guisada is mid, but their beef fajita and Al pastor (combination plate) is great, Alambres is awesome, and birria tacos are yummy. Use cash, it's cheaper. read more

Cute place. Clearly a local destination spot for breakfast/brunch. Service was extremely polite and attentive. Ordered a michelada, cactus breakfast taco, regular bacon and egg breakfast taco, and the Cuban Torta. All were delicious. The bread of the Torta was so light and airy, but the sandwich was still quite filling. Had to try cactus and had to try it here - liked it and would do it again. read more

When Jalisciencias left we were very sad, but Chapala is just as good and OPEN FOR DINNER. it's so nice to have a tasty restaurant spot that you know will knock it out of the park every time. I've taken friends and they are always astounded. Plenty of parking and very friendly staff. The red sauce is mellow and cozy, the verde is tangy and bright. The salsas at spicy. I wish the chips were better but I'm willing to see past that. read more

Cheap! Awesome! Delicious! Yeah, yeah so they don't have all the frills of new Mexican restaurant, but their food is BADASS!! Looking for Breakfast Tacos? Menudo? Breakfast plates? Fast service? Bam baby!! Come to Taqueria Chapala!! Some mornings I wake up and can't bare the sight of the sun, yet alone the idea of cooking my own breakfast...

We don't get to eat at this place very often because it's a good ways from our house. This is the first time that we tried lunch and it didn't disappoint. I had the chimichanga with shredded chicken. It was massive and completely filled up with chicken. My partner had the caldo de rez. He said it was delicious. The chips were salsa were also delicious. read more

Taqueria Chapala - Taco De Pastor - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Possibly the best tacos I've had in Austin. The Al Pastor taco was so good! The flour tortilla was homemade and perfect. The taco was simple with just cilantro, onions and lime but it was booming with flavor and just incredible. The birria tacos were also phenomenal and the included consume for dipping was good enough to be eaten alone. Casual atmosphere and fast friendly service. A+ all around! read more

Love this place! Great Tex-mex, and they serve meat by the pound to go so remember that on the weekends. Pozolé is amazing and my kids love the cheese enchilada plate. Sometimes we just crave this place - stop by at least once a week. Grab a. Michelada and a taco and chill. read more

A-M-A-Z-A-Z-I-N-G The food is wonderful, & obviously made from fresh ingredients. From the salsa served with chips to the amazing breakfast plates, to the refied beans! Omg! Fantastico! The staff are super friendly & attentive. For a hole in the wall type place- 5 stars all the way :) read more

Our go to spot for a quick, well-priced dinner. It's unassuming and straight forward. I love the chile relleno and I always get a side of nopales. Breakfast menu is a super deal too!! read more

Ignore the haters . "Bland" means little salt but, "Wow! My guisada packed serious flavor". Just on a hunch, because good Tamale is hard to find in Austin, we ordered 1 tamale. My wife , born and raised on great homemade Tamales in San Antonio, fell over eating it. She had to share and lemme tell you, not thick or too greasy, the Masa was perfection. Pork was savory and not for you health nuts. Ordering a 16oz porterhouse is probably worse but ... you get my point. We intend to grab 2 dozen pork tamales on our way back from an appt and will keep updating on our newly discovered go to spot. read more

This place amazing. Cheap. Fantastic flavor profile. Friendly staff that tolerated my horrible gringo Spanish. Great portions. Packed PERFECTLY for Covid19 pick up.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. I got the pozole and my hubby got the shrimp soup. I liked my broth, it was very flavorful. This is probably not a complaint many people make but I thought there was too much meat in my soup. They brought a little plate with cabbage, onions, limes, but I was missing the radishes. However, it was a very good meal. I had a large size but it was a lot of food and my leftovers made another meal for me. My husband really like his soup, there were tons of shrimp in it and he loved the flavor. The service was really great. Waitresses were extremely friendly and kept checking up on us. Great little stop on the road! read more

Taqueria Chapala - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

They stepped up when others weren't even trying. It was the Friday of Snowmeggedon, you know the week. If you don't know, it snowed in TX, A LOT. Id had a week of hell, no water, no electricity, freezing temps, no food available, and alls I wanted was a breakfast taco. The usuals had nada, no Torchys,no Cabana,no Deli, none. I started driving, legit just driving till I found something. Yelp showed me the way. A mexican restaurant right on a service road WITH! a drive thru. Yes, a restaurant with a drive-thru. I went back the next day too. I ordered 6 double bacon, coquito cheese, egg, potato, on flour tortilla. They came hot, wrapped in foil, with both red & green sauce for each one, and for the kicker got a side of fresh made queso. The green sauce is like sweet peppers mixed with wasabe and the red sauce like a tangy chunky salsa with red flakes. They are typical size, 6"x3" but stuffed. Proportion wise they go big or at least they did for me, left a 100% tip I was so happy. They are quick too. The window clerk was pleasant and helped explain what they had. The tortilla were really fresh, warm, soft, and stretchy. You could eat just the tortilla and be happy. I definitely recommend and I will be coming back. Thank you Chapa for showing up when it mattered! You made a new advocate and customer. read more

Being able t call in an order and pick up in the drive thru is important for me. Food is good. Staff is friendly.
