    Chips, salsa and queso
    Ruben C.

    Nice family restaurant attached to a gas station While we decided what order, we got some chips and salsa. Both were pretty good. Salsa was just spicy enough to not burn your ass but keep you wanting more. Chips were fresh and crunchy. Ordered the mojarra frita (fried perch) and man, it was good. Served with crispy fires and salad. Done right. Wife got the sope which was huge and she enjoyed. First impression was great: clean, good service and good food. Want to go back and try the rest of their menu

    Queso

    Normally, I am impressed with the speedy service and kind hospitality that Chapala offers. However, I stopped in today for a quick carne con queso and guac for a snack and received this abomination. Mind you, this had a $5 price tag and was without carne. Highly disappointed.

    Machacado
    Tessa G.

    Delicious food! The service was quick and the food was yummy. It is a casual place next to a gas station. I love the art on the chairs and tables! The machacado was flavorful and soft with a decent amount of meat. I would prefer larger pieces of meat but definitely satisfied my craving for machacado! The Asada taco was very good! The meat was salty and seasoned well and there was a good portion of onion and cilantro. The queso was thick and creamy but needed a bit more flavor. I loved how the corn tortillas on the mini tacos were lightly fried and the al pastor and campechano was very flavorful. The green salsa for the table was creamy, tasty, and lightly spicy.

    Delicious fresh authentic Mexican food! It is tucked away connected to a gas station and definitely a must try. The salsa is spicy and the guacamole is the best I have had in a long time! 10/10 on flavor. Service was excellent as well. Quick place to eat at and will definitely be back!

    Came in by chance. Was at the gas station and saw the cool looking chairs. Decided to come in for some Mexican food and was not disappointed. Quick friendly service. Great tacos and omelet. If I'm ever in the area I'll come back again.

    They took so long and the lady who took our orden was rude. When we got the food it was the whole opposite of what we asked for.

We looked over the menu and asked our waiter what was popular and what they like best. We enjoyed a beautiful salad and a burger that was OUTSTANDING! Just a great ambience in this historic building, relaxed atmosphere, and great music in the backgroud.

    Very Disappointed -- We Won't Be Returning…read more This place used to be one of our favorites, but unfortunately, things have really gone downhill since the refurbishment. The menu has changed, the portions are noticeably smaller, and the prices have gone way up. I don't mind paying for good food, but I do expect the food and experience to justify the price. This is starting to feel like the prices of the downtown tourist spots, as if they think we're in Fredericksburg. Most of the people who live here are hardworking, middle-class families. We don't mind spending money, but we shouldn't have to pay premium prices for smaller portions simply because a restaurant has a Main Street view. Sadly, this used to be a favorite of ours. It isn't anymore, and we won't be returning. Start looking at why places are closing down, because you're NOT getting community support! I wonder why? I would like to say that the service has always been good it's just the prices and how they charge for everything separately now.. nope!

Get there early, though 'cause I think they're usually sold out by around noon. I also tried a kolache here for the first time and loved it, but be prepared for DOUGHY if that's your jam. Pun possibly intended. I don't drink coffee, so I can't speak to that, but the bakery is inside Meridian, which is worth a visit on its own. They have a tincture wall, and the bar next door actually uses some of them in mocktails. I've had one and really enjoyed it. Meridian also has a really nice selection of quality gifts. I've got my eye on the pillows in the back, and after my last visit I'm also tempted by one of the comfy-looking dresses. There's plenty of seating next door too, where I try to make it regularly for the free Tuesday comedy night. Five stars for that cheese danish alone. Just don't sleep in.

    I already knew I loved the sourdough here - it's fresh baked and lovely. Perfect for a sandwich or…read morejust butter on toast. Today I ordered the cinnamon roll and breakfast sandwich with bacon and wow, this place is incredible! I ordered delivery and it was at my house ten minutes before I had expected it which was really great and quick. The breakfast sandwich was on a delectable croissant with perfectly cooked eggs, cheese and tasty bacon. The cinnamon roll was so soft, dripping with the most luscious topping. I was going to have one, I ended up having both right away!! Super yummy.

    We drove two hours through interstate and toll road rush hour traffic for a hospital test at 5 PM…read more Ahead of time we had searched Yelp for a place to dine afterwards while letting rush hour traffic abate for our return trip. Taste on Main was best rated and the menu sounded intriguing. We arrived 45 minutes early, and the Maître D' graciously found us a table even though we expressed our willingness to wait. Our server knew the menu well, and the food flowed with perfect timing. The ambiance of a remodelled historic building with modern functionality was both relaxing and refreshing. We were especially pleased with our four telephone calls before hand to the manager about seating if it rained, reservations, and parking. Emily answered each call and was so helpful, and it is a nice touch that the manager interacts directly with the patrons. Each food item was excellent: 1) Mixed Greens Salad (mixed greens, seasonal fruit, candied pecans, manchego cheese, crispy shallots, red wine vinaigrette); 2) Cioppino (clams, mussels, shrimp, fish, calamari, arrabiata-fish brodo, foccacia); 3) 5 oz MTX Petite Filet; 4) Dulce De Leche Crème Brûlée (caramelized dulce de leche base topped with a crackly, burnt sugar shell)

    We really enjoy Taste on Main and always look forward to coming back. I've sat both inside and…read moreoutside, but my favorite spot is the back deck surrounded by the huge trees. It's such a lovely setting. The quality of the food is consistently where it should be. My favorite dish so far is the clams, which come with wonderfully toasted bread that is perfect for soaking up the broth. The mac and cheese is also deliciously rich and really hits the spot, and I love the cobbler. There are just a few things I'd tweak. The chips don't seem to be made in-house, and I find the salsa a little too spicy. The crab cake is a generous size and tastes very fresh, but I'd personally love to see it served with a crisp breading and some simple salad greens alongside it. I also tried the bone marrow and found the texture much looser and more gelatinous than I prefer. I've had bone marrow elsewhere with a firmer, more pâté-like consistency that was easier and more enjoyable to spread on bread, so that preparation is more to my taste. The service has always been excellent, and I really appreciate that they offer a small mocktail menu. My husband loves a great Bloody Mary, and theirs has good potential, but we both find the drink itself a little too watered down. We'd love to see it served a bit richer and more full-bodied. We still haven't worked our way through the entire menu, but my husband has had some excellent cuts of meat and also really enjoyed the mole. There is still plenty we want to try, which is always a good sign. Great food, consistently good service, and one of my favorite outdoor dining settings in the area. We're already looking forward to our next visit.
