Taqueria Chapala #5

The phone number is no longer in service so I’m guessing this place has closed. Too bad, because I work next door. I’ve been to some of the others around town & they’re always cheap yet delicious! Unilocal won’t let me post without a star rating — 1 star only because they’re closed. Boo!

Let’s just start with the Salsa and Chips. As soon as you start munchin on this homemade salsa you’ll here the Unilocal of a Mariachi. It’s yummy I have had the Guisado, Al Pastor and Barbacoa it is great. The Barbacoa is very clean. No yuckies or stray pieces of fat and it won’t make your tortilla drip with grease. The staff knows me and brings me the Salsa Verde. Ask for it. It’s hotter then the regular one and has great taste. Pozole on Fridays is recommended and the Flautas are authentic. But the true catch is their Fried Fish (Filete de Pescado #30). Thin fried and crunchy. You can eat it with your hands. Some Salsa and Lime juice, drop it in a corn tortilla and love that crunchy goodness. By the way it is bigger than the size of one of those large oval enchilada plates. It’s out of the way but it is close to my work and I go two or three times a week and can vary and run through the whole menu without getting bored. When I don’t know what to have I just have a Torta with one of the 10 different items available to fill it and gorge! They make them with avocado, crema (like thick sour cream) lettuce and a slice tomato. Ok enough just go. Stop reading this and gather a few people. But not to many. It’s a nice secret so keep it on the down low.
