We were greeted right away when we walked in and really enjoyed the authentic decorations and overall vibe. The service was friendly and welcoming. Not long after sitting down, we were brought chips with some really tasty salsa and bean dip, which was a great start to the meal. I ordered the smothered tamales, and I had never had anything quite like that before. The food came out hot and tasted fresh. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this place!

Upon walking inside, we felt welcome and were seated quickly. A large group of people were celebrating a birthday and it was being served by one person, the amazing Raul!! He was attentive and kind and of great spirits. We felt cared about and cared for and that's such a rare thing these days. Our server Raul was truly amazing and attentive. We ate wonderful chips and salsa before our entrees arrived and it was a lively atmosphere with people pouring in and filling the place up! Hubby was happy as well. I ordered the tres chilies and was extremely happy that I did!! The pork green chili was tender and spicy and the relleño was fabulous which leaves the red chili Colorado. That was my favorite as it reminded me of my mom's recipe. The prices are reasonable and I'm happy to say I'd return again!! Good job Chapala!!!

Good: Pleasant, adequate service…read more Nachos are a good choice -- good allocations of ingredients and the portion size is huge serving -- a half order is 2 meals or easily shared by two people. I like the green enchilada sauce better than the red. Others in our party like the red. Needs Improvement: One of the rare times I haven't liked the salsa at a Mexican restaurants. Primary flavor was sour, and I'm puzzled how they managed that. Chips weren't very good. Chile relleno wasn't something we'd order again. Bottom line -- it's kinda hit and miss on the offerings here. Some things they do well consistently (like cheese crisps and nachos) while other things are off enough you are discouraged from coming back. Oh, and watch your step walking into and through this restaurant. Odd steps, slopes that can trip if you're not paying attention.

I love fish tacos! I don't love fish tacos from Mama Inez. I'll tell you why in a bit…read more My mom ordered two cheese enchiladas, and a ground beef taco. My daughter ordered street tacos, and my son ordered the Chili Colorado steak burrito. The ground beef taco was good with just the right amount of seasoning, the cheese enchiladas had a great sauce and was served with Spanish rice. My son's burrito had good flavor and the meat was extremely tender served with a really good enchilada sauce. My daughter's street taco was just ok. To me, there was nothing special about his they cooked the meat and could've used more seasoning. Now for my fish tacos. First off, I made the mistake of ordering mango salad and pico degallo on the fish tacos. Their secret sauce tasted like ranch dressing. Nothing secret about that. The fish was not the least bit crunchy or flaky. It was mushy. The flavors did not mesh at all. And where is my lime? Don't order this one. Overall, I thought the sides were good, the rice, and the beans. My only criticism with these sides, they needed more salt to make the flavors pop. I'm down to trying this place again. Just not going to order fish tacos again.

I've never been to a "Mexican" style restaurant that was so poorly run. The bowl I ordered looked awful and I'm nervous to eat it. The staff didn't seem to know what they had. "Would you like sauces or salsa?" Yes, I'd like the roasted tomatillo sauce... "I'm asking about enchilada sauce " I was so confused. So the next person asked me I said the same thing and he said sure! They were sliding the bowls of food all over knocking our cups to where the rim touched their unclean counter. The whole place was jut humid and filled with flies and it was so loud and chaotic... also the gust was brown and almost so I didn't order it, and the cilantro they gave us was just sprigs. Straight up sprigs. It should at least be chopped or removed from the stem. The details the details! Awful experience. Taste is less than ideal. Will never be coming here again.
