Chapala’s Mexican Restaurant

Fabulous brunch buffet on Sundays, bottomless champagne included! Shrimp ceviche is so fresh and delicious. Guacamole is fantastic, great variety of food. You won’t be disappointed.

Ok, the atmosphere not so great, but the meal was best ever. Top notch in taste, heat, & presentation. Even simple rice & beans were delicious and Hot off the broiler. The blend of flavors amazing and I recommend this place for that reason alone. Sorry décor not updated, more like out dated. Still a good meal for that Mexican craving.

I love to come here for a margarita and the carne asada plate. It is absolutely delicious! I think I will actually head over there today with my kids. I come from California and am really hard to please with Mexican food — but this place definitely fits the bill.

They have a Sunday Brunch here which starts at 11am and has bottomless Bloody Mary’s, Mimosa’s, coffee, tea, juice all for $ 12.50. You cannot beat the brunch buffet, it has a good variety and each week it is a little different.
I love this place and I hope not everyone will love it as much as I did otherwise it will get too crowded and I won’t get a seat. This last Sunday they did have a good steady crowd and with the food being SO GOOD, including the dessert which I normally never eat, this is my favorite brunch place.
I do not go every week, but every once in a while it is a great place to go. The chips are good, the staff is friendly and like I said the buffet which has about 12 hot items and then a cold section, you cannot beat the price. The beef is always tender, the chicken dishes are always good, the pork I don’t eat but I am told it is good and the salsa they bring with the chips, one hot and one mild, it fixes everything no matter what.
I like it spicy and many times they will have a selection or two on the bar with peppers in it and I love to grab a whole pepper and just enjoy it, but be forewarned it will have a kick…

No! When a Mexican restaurant mild salsa taste like marinara sauce there’s a serious problem. Figure out what type of food you wish to do and stick to. BTW: your front of house staff should be able to communicate in English. This is still the U.S. At least for now.

We are regulars here and we love their food. Miguel the server is awesome! He knows exactly what we like, our extra ranch and limes without even asking. He is always attentive and polite. Their prices are reasonable and they have awesome margaritas!

Best Mexican in town & The waitresses and waiters are great have been coming here for years and will be coming back for many more

I come from LA, so I am a tough critic for Mexican food!
2 stars for the décor, it’s a little outdated.
2 stars for service, the lady had a bit of attitude
1 star for the gross tap water.
5 stars for menu, it is extensive .
1 star for the price, they charged us for every little adjustment.
5 stars for the taste, everyone loved it.
Overall, we wouldn’t pick this place again…

This place has horrible customer service they will not even separate checks for their customers, they leave you waiting wanting drinks, in Las Vegas you are pretty thirsty and you need refills the food is just ok, I just can’t believe the horrible customer service. Go to Jalisco’s Mexican restaurant it’s so much better and they treat the customers as they should be treated

I’ve been going to Chapala’s for many, many years. I even remember when they were in their old location with the fountain and had a large golden rooster in the middle of the restaurant. Their new location has no fountain or large golden rooster, but the food is still just as good as it’s always been.
Chapala’s service is pretty good it just depends on which waiter or waitress you get. But if you get one of the good servers they will be quick to get you your drinks, chips and salsa and of course your order. I will say no matter how busy they are the food comes out fast and tasty.
Some of my favorite things to order are the Taco Salad. It’s huge and comes with all the yummy Mexican items you want. I love to get it with chicken. It’s marinaded in a red sauce that mixes in with the salad. Yum! When I was younger I’d love to get the special with the two Chicken Burritos enchilada style of course. My friend and I would order this eat one and take the rest home for when we had the munchies later. On my most recent visit I had the ala cart Pork Tamale in a red sauce. The masa was flavorful and soft and the red sauce had a great spice. Plus, it was covered in gooey cheese. Basically I haven’t had a bad meal here.
Craving Mexican food? Hit up Chapala’s to satisfy your craving!
Pro Tip: Mix the mild and spicy salsas together. Yum!

If I could give less then one star I would. The worst customer service skills ever. Their menu has items they say they cannot make, and they are unwilling to offer anything close to what is on their online menu. Extremely rude. Would not recommend to anyone.

Terrible service… our waiter looked as though he was HATING life… the only good service we got was from our bus boy who I wish could have gotten the entire tip! Food wasn’t anything I would go out of my way for.

50 YEARS IN BUSINESS
Most impressive restaurant décor plus our server was dressed to the nines in his native Mexican attire. Maybe we’ve been to too many stark taquerias.
Menu items ordered:
27. Cheese Enchilada and Ground Beef Taco with rice and beans for Momo … nothing to write home about … just most filling.
58. Chimichanga with pork, chili verde, enchilada style for $ 1.00 more for Yu-​go … now his entrée was the better of the two … again he finished off his Chimichanga.
Parking is not an issue. The bar is in the back in a small separate room with «Banos» close by. Chapala’s has been around since 1965.

Love this place… best margaritas. No complaints. excellent service for sure. authentic Mexican food. wish it was closer to me but worth the drive.

I haven’t been to Chapala’s in a long time,
I just happened to be around the area so I decided to drop by.
I was seated fast by the hostess, and I didn’t have to wait long for my food which is good. However, while I was waiting for my food, the silverware was exposed the on the table without being wrapped in a linen cloth. I thought that was weird.
I ordered the Mole Enchiladas, it was good.
It could have been seasoned a bit more then it would have tasted great.
The flan was sweet but it lacked flavor.
Overall I had a decent experience.

I have tried the Chapala’s on the west side of town before it closed several years ago and I didn’t remember it being too memorable. On this occasion, my fella insisted we try this place and I gave in.
Our server was friendly and we ordered the carne asada to share and snacked on chips and salsa while we waited. The chips weren’t anything special and I found the salsas to be particularly unappealing. They were watery and had a sweetness that I didn’t enjoy.
Our meal came and it was plenty large enough to share. The meat was tough and had lots of fat bits I had to eat around. The rice and beans were decent, though.
The server was very attentive and refills were plentiful. I don’t think I would be interested in coming back, but they seem to have faithful clientele.

Came here on Valentine’s Day and had a great meal! Our waitress was very friendly. Our food arrived quickly and was very tasty. My friend said his cheese quesadilla was probably the best one he ever had. They didn’t skimp on the sour cream and guacamole like many Mexican restaurants do. The prices were reasonable and the amount of food was generous. With so many competing restaurants in the area this place should do well if they continue to provide good food and good service.

Would be a 5 stars but due to poor customer service it looses a star. We specifically asked for separate checks, the server said no problem… when we went to check out the young girl just pointed to the sign and said we don’t spilt checks… I let her know the server told us it was ok (as we asked him at least twice) but she just shrugged her shoulders and said Nope. So since we didn’t have an itemized check we couldn’t even do the math, it was the most frustrating check out I have ever had!
So make sure you have cash and remember what you order and the price if you have a group.
This has been a restaurant that me and my family starting with my grandparents we come here at ever trip to Vegas. The food is amazing no matter what you get. But I have to say that the check out girl and not accommodating your customers made all of us reconsider coming back the next day with our group. Bad customer service and it’s so disappointing!
I can say that they do amazing food and the chips and salsa are amazing and everything is huge like the al la carte tacos and burrito. Like I said my family has been coming here for 30 years for a reason.

The food was very plain.
The hostess barely said hello.
The waiter was less than attentive.
He forgot our drinks even after we reminded him.
Slow service. Took about 20−40minutes for my food to come out.
The only reason I’m not giving 2 stars is because it at least looked clean and even though it wasnt the best costumer service, I’ve had much worse.

My boyfriend and I really enjoy this place. The service is always good and the food is tasty and reasonably priced. We usually get the mexican dinner combo plate it comes with soup or salad, rice and beans and ²⁄₃ of any of the following:
Enchilada
Chile relleno
Burrito
Taco
Tamale
Your choice of meats are chicken, shredded or ground beef, and pork. A 2 item combo is $ 12.50 and the 3 item is a dollar more.
I LOVE the Chile rellenos. That is my favorite thing on the whole menu. I get them almost every time. I don’t really care for the burritos or tacos but the fajitas were good. Like every place they have some good and some bad. The chips and salsa are probably my least favorite things. The chips are bland they have no salt and the salsa just taste like tomato sauce. Oh well I will still go here when I’m in the mood for Mexican.
