Taqueria Chapala

Incredible service, food quality/portions, and their happy hour specials are spectacular! It will be our new local spot for sure.

Small clean restaurant that is close by. We went a few times. Our favorites are the birria taco, shrimp tostada and the beans and rice. Yummy michelada. The salsa and chips are fresh. Very clean spot with friendly staff. Little bit on the pricey side but it's a good spot for lunch. Very casual spot and usually not too crowded.

Just ok? Not great but not bad. Very mild flavor. I'm from San Jose so I guess my expectations for Mexican food are a bit higher. Small portions and over priced. But restaurant service is good and it's really clean. That's a plus.

The one star is for the super old carrot cake they served me! I actually love going to this place because they have good food and it's always clean and a very friendly place! But today, I don't know what were they thinking trying to serve us an old carrot cake that's super hard. It took them over 20 mins to give us the slice of cake and I was wondering what is going on and once it's served on the table and I tried to eat it I couldn't even slice the cake it was too hard! What's said is they know it's old and for them to even allow this kind of BS is sickening to me. I could have gotten sick from this! Honesty is the best policy in a business. They could have simple said carrot cake isn't available today. Serving old food will get you out business! Stop it! Never coming back here again!

Second time I've been here and it's the better Mexican food I have found around Brentwood. I absolutely love the Chapala off Balfour too. This place is bright and clean with beautiful colorful decorations. They have tv's so you can watch sports while you are here. Food has been good 2/2 so far. Last time I got chilaquiles, this time enchiladas. Simple good food. The server was very attentive and nice. If you want fully authentic Mexican food then cook at home. I was hungry and was waiting for my car and this place doesn't disappoint. Will definitely be coming back.

Camila or server I was nice and attentive good server food good I have tostada ceviche shrimp so delicious and fresh will come back soon

Our son recommended we try the food here and it was good. The restaurant is very clean with very colorful decor. The young lady that served us was very nice and provided excellent service.

So we came back for lunch and this time we decided to eat inside. This place is very cute and quant. It has like seven TVs in there, so if you ever want to watch sports or anything, it's a good place to do that. The chips, salsa and guacamole dip were amazing, very fresh & crisp chips. The service is excellent they're very friendly, professional and attentive. I ordered ground beef tacos and rice and beans and my husband had shredded chicken tacos and enchiladas with rice and beans. Well everything was delicious so tasty and fresh. I love the flavor of food, it really reminds me of home. This is now one of my fav Mexican restaurants to go to, out here in Brentwood.

Average Mexican place. If you come here you will not be disappointed or highly satisfied.This place is brand new. We came here because of the opposite auto spa, as we need to wait a long time so why not eat! Anyway, first shocking thing is we went at noon, but there's no breakfast. For such a new and empty place, not breakfast all day (at least during daytime) is not a good idea! Anyway I ordered California burrito, which supposed to come with meat (which I chose to ignore), choice of hash browns or French fries, guacamole, salsa, rice, black bean. First of all, the burrito is hot in two sides and cold in the middle! Not a good first impression.And as I expect from this type of street side Mexican places, two much rice! This place also has an enormous amount of rice. Hash browns are not seasoned but decent.I couldn't find guacamole, but salsa tastes nice. They didn't ask me for choice of spicy, which is a bit strange and can definitely be improved.Finally a nice burrito should have stuffing mixed nicely, which in this case is not. I found salsa in one side, hash browns in another side. Taste is average, if I come to the auto spa again I will come again as I need time to kill. But I won't crave for this!If the restaurant management reading this review, spend some time perfecting the burrito, there are very nice burrito places like senir sisig in lafayette, which does amazing California burrito. Also in a California burrito, one expects avocado, come on its California!

Today I was craving a torta, this is my first time eating food here, and I was excited to try it. A torta is hard to get wrong, but, somehow this is the worst torta I ever had. The fries taste like they were reheated in the microwave. I really try to give it a shot, but for $16 I rather buy a burger. The only positive thing about this place was the lady in the front taking orders. She was so nice and helpful.
