The food was great and the service was as well. I'll definitely be returning when I'm in the area again.

Updated 8/13/2025 Back at Chapala! My new favorite is Taco de Birria Beef!! I started with a shot of JC (Jose Quervo) Especially and a Sol, cervesa. Also, the salsa has excellent robust flavor, only a slight hint of heat. I had to get the Espinacha Queso Dip. So good, and I squeeze in a veggie!! LOL! The lovely, Emily, is my bartendress and waitstaff. It is early, just after 11 am, so kind of quiet -- my preferred time to eat -- either early or late dodging the masses. Mass, they do at this location in White Knoll. Very convenient to many businesses and homes near the Platt Springs Rd and Hwy 6 intersection. Please bop on by and grab some amazing food!! See a couple photos that are attached. Stop by anytime for really good food!! Chapala is located in a strip of shops and re

My wife and I eat here regularly. It is some of the best Mexican food around. We love the fact that you can add anything to your dish. You can go wrong with anything on the menu. Now for the staff. They are amazing. They always check in with you and friendly no matter who you are. So if you want a good family spot with great food, and service you got to come here and try them out.

UPDATE:: ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER EATING I GOT SO SICK WITH FOOD POISONING.. Probably the worst torta I've ever had. The bread tasted old/stale the steak was super thin and as tender and tasty as a old rubber tire. One slice of Avocado for the whole sandwich. More onions then anything else. Super dry. They also just cut the top bun and nothing else not the meat nothing lazy at is best. There was nothing positive about this plus it cost 15$ no sides. 3rd time eating here 3 different dishes and each one is more worse the the last.. place is over priced for the mediocre food that is served.. no quality or care goes into their dishes..

Honestly just super disappointed. Ordered here before and have had no issues. Ordered take out, was told 5-7 minutes. Picked it up in 9 minutes. The chips and beef tasted burnt. My nachos have little to no queso. The chicken quesadillias were so wet I couldn't even hold them. On top of that, by the menu prices the total should have been around $25 before taxes. Why on Earth when we get home, my husband tells me it was $38.88? The math just isn't mathing and now I've got food that isn't exactly appetizing on top of being way over the expected price. Just sad.
