El Chaparro

I came by to try out the caldo de res. Got it to go. This was my first time here. I had to wait a while for my food, which was fine, I wasn't in a hurry. It's a small restaurant, a lot of things were in Spanish. I understand some of it, but that's when Google comes in handy. Parking can be challenging. I had to park at the end of the block, but that's how most of places on 23rd are. Lucky for me that I can always ride my scooter over here next time. The soup was delicious by the way, lots of meat & veggies. Side of tortillas, salsa, onion and cilantro. Definitely recommend

I found my spot for menudo in Richmond on 23rd St y'all! I come here just for the menudo. I haven't ventured out to other menu items. Hubby has tried the burrito and tacos. Ooouuu, the tripas tacos are fire! My son tried the authentic quesabirrias. He ate it and enjoyed the consomé, but next time we will sub out the meat option. I need to up my Spanish speaking game. The owner and staff are always so nice either way and I get my order in just fine! Place is always clean and we get fresh chips and salsa. Oh, and hubby enjoyed his michelada!

Not worth for tacos. Better to get the soupsDishes:-lengua and tripa taco ($3.5 each)-horchata ($3)Pro:-handmade tortilla-lots of cilantro, onion, limes, and salsa-horchata was deliciousCon:-the taco meat was not what the typical meat was-tacos were very oily-the tortilla wasn't cooked with a bit of the taco juice so it was bland

We found a new spot for Consomé and Barbacoa! We came across this place while driving in the area and we're glad we did. Their set up is pretty well thought out to streamline the ordering/dine-in/pick-up. The staff is friendly and helpful.We've ordered the Huarache, Gorditas, Consomé and barbacoa, and Panbazos. We were pleasantly surprised at how good it all was and had the authentic taste too. I make my own panbazos and these were GOOD! They're barbacoa and Consomé is delicious and highly recommend this place. La barbacoa y consomé están requisitos y no meten gordura ni huesos a la libra. This is our new go to place for Barbacoa and consomé.

Been here three times in the last week. Its been prety consistent.Keep in mind that The prices on the menus dont match the prices they charge you. Its a bit annoying but not a big difference, hopefully they update their menus to reflect the new prices theyre charging.

It's hard to find good Mexican food in the bay, being raised in LA I have a good taste for tacos and Mexican dishes. Not to mention my mamas cooking was fire. So when we found this place driving on our way back home, BF spotted it and urged me to stop. The second I walked in I recognized the smells of tortillas being heated up and meat mixed with aroma of spices being cooked. I saw the chille relleno plate on the menu and I knew I had to get it. BF got gorditas de chicarrón. I ate most of his third gordita . I was taken back to my mothers native birthplace, Uruapan Michoacán and the authentic Mexican food I loved growing up. I can't forget the handmade aguas frescas, our favorite melon Service was quick and friendly! Our food got to our belly's within 20 minutes. Please go support Mexican owners in Richmond!

El Chaparro has 1/2 of it's menu in Spanish which is a good sign this place is authentic. order inside. takeout only. no outside dining.offerings: tacos, quesadillas, tortas, burritos, breakfast, grilled meat by weight, sides, plates, drinks.eats: barbacoa, adobada tacos @3.00-lime squeeze, cilantro, onions, red salsa came in separate plastic cups-barbacoa, adoboda(marinated pork) very fresh, tasty on house made flour tortillas. generous portions-tacos aren't sauced, so it's a natural taste. u add it. red salsa has a unique type of chili, has heat, not super hot. 4.5 stars. great value, fresh ingredients....

Delicious lamb barbacoa served with warm homemade tortillas, flavorful salsas, and a generous amount of cilantro and onions.I ordered the 1/2 lb barbacoa with a small consommé (still quite a large bowl) along with a side of rice and beans. Reminded me a bit of South Philly Barbacoa in Philadelphia.Finished the meal with some warm atole de elote to drink. I loved this meal!

Food was terrific. Parking is a challenge. Wait staff was super friendly and very helpful. Can't wait to go back.

Fast. Simple. Authentic. Table loved Pastor Taco best. Handmade flour tortillas were really good. Menu all in spanish. Minimally english speaking.
