Chapala Taqueria y Mariscos

Was in the neighborhood and craving tacos... Yelp reviews were inconclusive so picked Chapala Taqueria based on location and the canoe on the outside. Bonus: they were showing playoff hockey. I later found out there are more than a dozen taco places within a mile or two. The people are incredibly nice but the food is mid. Between the 3 of us, we had 9 tacos.Meat ranking from best to least: chorizo, pastor, pollo, carnitas, asada, tripa.Corn tortilla: ok. Likely bought not made. Single vs double stacked.Fillings: white onion with decent char. Green salsa had a nice kick. No other options on the standard More bonus points for a clean table. Ok food but so many other choices nearby

Stoped by to grab a drink but learned that they only have beer for alcoholic beverages. They do not have Paloma's or any liquor. I really like their aguachile and ceviche de camarón.

Good Mexican spot in Gilroy! We come here often with our family. The service was slow last time we went. Nice ambiance and decor is cool. We got the super wet burritos, one asada and the other shrimp. So delicious!

Great service !! The food was very flavorful! My sangria was very good ! Me and my family would stop there again !

Once I tried the Chille verde I was hooked. Whoever is in the kitchen knows how to cook!

We have been to dinner here several times recently & the food is always good. Not sure why it took us so long to try but glad we finally did. We've had the guacamole which was excellent, different tacos, carnitas platter, chile relleno, etc. their margaritas are excellent too. We even have taken family visiting from out of town & they all loved it. Done night they gave Karaoki which was fun to watch. I think the only complaint I have is that they always seem to be out of pins coladas. Other than that everything is great. It's always very clean inside too.

Found this little gem and decided to try it out. When we walked in there were several families seated eating seafood and a dj with the full set up. It was a nice authentic touch. It was a Friday so I'm not sure you would want to come here for a romantic date night but if you are looking for good food and some live music, this is the spot. We ordered the trio fajitas (asada, chicken and shrimp) and a wet super burrito. It was very flavorful. Everything tasted fresh. The fajitas meat was all cooked to perfection and the onions and peppers were cut just right, not to thin, not to thick. The sauce on the wet burrito had a spicy kick and was very tasty. Very delightful dinner.

The girl with the nose ring took our order incorrectly and then proceeded to charge us for food that she submitted to kitchen incorrectly. Brought out another shrimp tostada, originally I ordered with no onions and the incorrect one had no onions, however the shrimp was uncooked. I ordered a tostada Cammaron cocina- (cooked not raw) When she came back to check on us she offered my boyfriend more water and only refilled his water even though mine was empty. In the end when we asked why the original tostada was still on the bill she said " I would have removed it if it was my mistake." It was her mistake. I still left her rude self a $5 tip which she clearly did not deserve.

Prices were too high, quality of food was poor, service was not great. I got the chili verde for 18.99 and I got maybe 4 pieces of pork. Absolutely ridiculous. My husband ordered a soda and received a canned soda and paid $3.75. For ONE can. Waitress never came back and refilled our waters or asked if we wanted more chips and salsa. The hamburgers were gross.
