La Chalupita

Absolutely terrible. I got food poisoning. I ordered a steak covered burrito and the steak was sour tasting. My Soda I ordered was expired by over a month and the service was inconsiderate. He couldn't remember anything we would ask for and would give us the incorrect food. The surroundings of the restaurant just felt dirty and uncomfortable.

We were in the neighborhood a s decided to have a late lunch at La Chalupita. It was our first time there. Service was great, the ambiance was honest. The had a buffet but we chose to order off the menu. The food was really good. We started with the nachos, which were cooked well, crispy and not greasy. We asked for the spicy salsa along with their regular one and they were both delicious. We had the Choripollo and Chipotle Chicken. The thin sliced chicken breast was just a tiny bit over cooked, but still very enjoyable with a lot of flavor from the sauces. I'm going to count La Chalupita as one of the best Mexican places I've been to.

The best Mexican food in Columbia, by far. Actually the best I have had in Middle Tennessee. The staff is friendly and helpful, the restaurant is clean, and the service is very good. I can't say enough about it... this is THE BEST Mexican food, period.

I got steak chilaquiles with green sauce. These were delicious -like make the back of your neck perspire good. The steak was tender. The guacamole was really good too. This is going to become my Fat Monday place for quite awhile. This is the only place in the area where you can get chilaquiles. Thank you Baby Jesus they were so good! They had very nice salsa for the chips too.i had way too many chips, but they were fresh and good.

Stopped in at 7:30 pm on a Thursday. Walked in and sat ourselves. 1/3 of the seats were available. Waited on promptly. Shared 3 chicken, barbacoa, carnitas tacos and 3 tamales. Everything was excellent. Salsa and sauces all seemed fresh. Brightly lit with table and booth options. We will be back to try more.

Such a mixed bag here. There were many positives. Friendly staff, great salsa, tons of fresh, well-spiced meat in the tacos I got. They had a buffet ($9.99?) at dinner time, which is a rarity (didn't get it - it featured lots of stewed/saucy dishes that appeared very "authentic"). On the not-so-good side: the ambience is pretty horrible. Way-too-bright fluorescent lights feel like a hospital lab. No music, just a tv blaring Spanish-language talk shows. Definitely a dive as far as that goes. Tamales were disappointing. Very little meat to be found and skimpy sauce. While the tacos were very generous on the meat, there wasn't enough balance with the onion and cilantro, and the tortillas were kinda tough and not grilled. Edge: Los Potros. Chips served with salsa were just bagged tortilla chips, not fresh fried. Good for digestion but not for flavor. It's fun to look thru the market on your way out. The whole experience felt like stepping into Mexico for a bit, a novelty but not likely to go back often. Maybe to try the buffet.

Probably the best Mexican restaurant in the Spring Hill/Colombia area! Can't stop thinking about the delicious tacos I had yesterday, we will be going back for sure. It is definitely one of those hole in the wall looking places....but aren't those always the best! Don't waste time trying other places, if you want authentic Mexican just go here!

Fast service, friendly staff. Food was good but was a little bland (steak tacos) but I like the grilled chicken tacos.

The authentic Mexican food at LaChapulita is outstanding, be adventurous and ask the waitstaff for their personal favorites. Our waitress Augustine made some awesome suggestions and we couldn't have been more pleased. This place will definitely become a go to!

I've been looking for a "legit" Mexican restaurant in the area. I knew walking in it was because of the attached market. If you are looking for a spic and span American style Mexican restaurant this is not your place. If you are looking for amazing food, this is your place. I recommend it highly!
