Food is served hot and very good. Prices are fair and servers are excellent. It's local and good. They make a mean margarita too! Gonna go there whenever that desire for good Mexican food hits. Thank you for consistently great culinary experiences! Wishing you continued success! read more

A+ for out of towners. Let me just be honest. If you're white and from out of town looking for Mexican food, this place is for you. Siri would take you here if it had an "avoid the hood" option. We went to three other Mexican places close by and didn't get out of the car. If you want a place you feel like you can sit down and eat without worrying about getting robbed or having your windows broken out while eating, this place is for you. Service was good on a Monday night. Food came quickly, bathroom was clean. Food was good. Staff was friendly. read more

My family and I always celebrate birthdays and also just go for a quick dinner there. The food, service, and servers are always excellent! The prices are reasonable and the it has a real Mexican ambiance. I really appreciate of knowing I will always have a delicious meal and a wonderful experience at Chapala! Thank you! read more

Best Mexican food we've found in New York so far! Really glad we found this place. The birria tacos remind us of the ones back in El Paso. The margarita was a generous amount unlike other places who make it half ice. The service was great and attentive. Thankfully it wasn't too busy when we got here for a late lunch. read more

They have an outside patio which is nice during the warm weather. They have drink pitchers for about $44 and I believe $5 for a flavor, both frozen and normal. They usually slap and have a good amount of liquor in it, it serves at least 8-10 full cups easily which is a good investment. I ordered the shrimp in the white sauce. The shrimp and steak were seasoned perfectly and cooked great. That creamy, white sauce was delicious! Mixed in with the rice and beans, it was an amazing dish. The only downside is, they are stingy on the rice. Even with ordering an extra rice, we still barely had enough. We did get enough meat, which was great. But, the lack of rice has us scared to even order any dishes including rice. The chips and sauce tasted great. We did get a round of shots on the house of some amazingly delicious liqueur. The service can be slow at times, but it's decent. I'd definitely go again, especially for an appetizer and pitcher of drinks. read more

Best Mexican restaurant in area. excellent food. great environment excellent service.

Was recommended by a local to come here for authentic Mexican food. Came here to celebrate a family proposal and certainly glad we did! We had a very large party (14 guests) and Chapala was willing to accommodate with last minute notice. Staff was very friendly and food came out quick. The guava margarita was super delicious - highly recommend! I ordered the chicken tacos which were very good. To top off the night, our host offered us a complimentary shot of tequila! We couldn't resist saying no. I definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try this on the whim and we were not surprised but not disappointed. The drinks are kinda weak and tasted like they needed a little bit of love. The appetizer although tasty tasted like nachos that were microwaved. Everything moved so fast, we were served our appetizer before we received our water and drinks. For dinner my boyfriend got the drunken shrimp which was full of flavor with hearty meaty shrimps. I got the fajita with chicken steak and shrimp which was so good I had to save some for later. Overall it was good, would recommend read more

This place has a fun atmosphere. The margaritas were tasty, though the frozen ones were a bit small. The steak, shrimp, tacos, and another shrimp entrée were very good. All were tasty, and good portions. The octopus appetizer was also very tasty. Service was prompt and friendly, and we've had similar great service previously. We will certainly be back. read more

Let the pre-birthday dinners begin!!! This was my wife's choice and was one of the few places that could accommodate a party of 10 on short notice. So, I always say you can tell if the Mexican spot is going to be good by the chips and salsa. Well, the salsa was pretty weak. I ordered a Bloody Mary for starters.... It had the right amount of alcohol but it lacked flavor. I had to add salt and Tapatio to spice it up. The food took a while to come out, roughly 45 mins or more. I ordered a chimichanga with steak and it came with just that inside. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't that. I wasn't disappointed, just thrown off a bit. Overall, the customer service was good, the environment was welcoming, I just wasn't crazy about my drink and meal. read more

We decided to go to this mexican restaurant, which is a big deal for me because I don't really care too much for Mexican food. The last few times I ate out of a Mexican restaurant, it was terrible and I told myself "never again". Convinced by my husband I decided to give it one more chance because he loves mexican food. When we walked in, the place looked very festive and the staff was extremely welcoming. Ofcourse my usual starter was a drink "Don Juilo margarita" that was made nicely, I thought I just wanted one drink but 2 more was ordered before the end of my meal. That's how good it was made( strong and tasty) Everything was so delicious, the chapala wings(appetizer) was very crispy and very flavorful. My main meal that I ordered was the chapala fajita which came with shrimp, steak and chicken mixed with onions and peppers on a hot skillet was AMAZING!!!! I literally cleaned the plate. The guacamole was terrific wanted to dip everything in it especially together w/ the beans that were surprisingly good. Desert was ok! Once again the Don juilo margaritas was a 10, loved it. I will return again probably in 2 weeks. read more

Food, service and experience was stellar!! BEST churros the wife and I had in our LIFE. The Chicken wings w/chipotle sauce was AMAZING. Needed a 2nd round however I opted out because we had empanadas and entrees. Don't judge me. Great food and good vibes. Our server "Jason" and the host was outstanding! As Arnold says "we will be back" read more

Barria Tacos and Empanadas -- both from the appetizer menus, and not quite delicious. The waiter was efficient and kind and thoughtful. To read the negative reviews, and hey can't have come to the same place I am at right now. read more

The vibe and decor here really feels like Mexico. I absolutely loved it. We went here and ordered a frozen pineapple margarita and frozen peach daiquiri, they were delicious. I have a four star because I ordered the taco salad, which by the way was delicious, however the chips were really soggy and took that crunch away. My love ordered the shrimp quesadilla and he said it was amazing, seasoned very well. The waiter was awesome, very kind and attentive. Thank you, we will be going back. read more

Picked up a grub hub order once before and I was interested in trying it for lunch since it smells great here and I like vibe and decor in here. It was slow here, so the manager got me a table and took my order. incredible friendly and respectful, I felt valued for having my lunch here. I ordered the Camarones a la mexcicana and sopa de pollo. Camarones a la mexcicana shrimp was bit overcooked, but very flavorful bathed in the sauce, The sauce itself was bursting with flavor and I wished I had to spoon to lap it up, damn unless fork and knife, hah. Onions and green bell peppers were fork tender and melted in the sauce. Mexican rice was best I ever had, it was nice to have firm rice and not some steamed bags feel soft, pushing the rice in the sauce was so good. Refried beans were okay, I felt like there was very few beans in the sauce/stew, but I have to say melted queso cheese on top was a nice touch to blend beans. Soup had a plenty of rice and shredded chicken, very generous and the broth was well seasoned, I will always want that soup over basic chicken noodle any day, Haha. chips and salsa were alright, I do think it had a lot of raw white onion and could had more tomatoes instead. read more

Fast, friendly, and attentive service. I got the coctel camerrones (shrimp cocktail) and chili con carme. The shrimp cocktail was good, but the jumbo shrimp were smaller than I expected. They were freshly cooked and chilled. The chili con carne was also good, but a little too salty. Chips and salsa came at the beginning. The chips were fresh and warm (nice!) but the salsa had too much white onion to get 5 stars. All around, I'd come back. read more

I'm a huge Yelper always looking to Yelp for my next random restaurant visit. Based on the reviews here this place was a must try and that's just what I did today. The ambiance in this place is really nice though it wasn't crowded at all during my visit it had a feel of a nice restaurant with lighting that could set the mood for a romantic evening. The manager sat us at our table and was super helpful with the menu selection and suggestions. We got our complimentary nachos with sauce which was a nice treat and our entrées were actually pretty darn good. Food wasn't over seasoned or under seasoned, it was perfect though I would have liked a little more spanish spice in my meal. Overall our experience was a very positive experience with customer service being top notch followed by a really good meal. Meal didn't blow me away however it was very good. I thought based on the local competition prices were a tad pricey in my opinion but the meal held it's value as it tasted good. read more

Now this is a good Mexican place. My girlfriend does not like Mexican food but this is the one place she'll eat from! All of the food is outstanding, especially the Texas burrito! The rice and beans on the side you get is very good especially when you put some salsa on it. You definitely want to dine in when you can though to get a true Mexican experience. Fun fact, the owner is our neighbor, what a great guy. Anyways, the only downside is that it can get a little expensive when you're ordering for a family of 4+ but the portion sizes are very generous so keep that in mind when ordering! read more

The staff are warm and welcoming! The food selection is excellent and the service is great ! I love this place ! Try the cervici !

Ordered 3 meals and a super nachos for take out . The super nachos had 5 chips in it and were a joke . Hardly anything in the takeout tin. In these trying times you try to support local businesses . This is unacceptable. $10.99 for these super nachos . Not worth $3. The tacos were a joke too. Sorry but Never Again . Dont get ripped off here . Try Anything else read more

Best food in the Vails Gate area and very nice staff. The enchiladas and chimichangas are great. Wide selection of desserts.

What do you say about a place that knows you remembers your face, remembers what you like and don't like, they know me, they treat me like family. The food is the best Mexican in the area. It's not border town Mexican and it's not Tex mex. it's real Mexican food cooked properly by people that care about the quality of the food and how good it taste. The owners Ignacio & Minerva and great owners and always stop by to make sure they did a good job. My friends you always do. May you have success forever. Ustedes es familia a mi. read more

I've only dined at Chapala once before, and had ordered their chicken flautas. The chicken was very bland, but everything else was fine. I ordered their birria tacos recently, and requested them without cheese, because I can't really eat dairy anymore. Thankfully they granted my request, but the meat didn't have a lot of flavor this time either and the tacos were pretty pricy ($14), for being average. I did enjoy the horchata though and I may go back again to try other things off their menu because I do enjoy Mexican food. read more

Absolutely EXCELLENT. We used to go to Jalapeño Charro across the street but due to there food quality and terrible staff we gave Chapala Grill a try. The Staff was extremely kind, the food was excellent we had a perfect dinner in a great restaurant. If in New Windsor this is the go to Latin Spot. They care for their customers unlike Olga and company over at Jalapeño Charro. So glad we found Chapala Grill. read more

Amazing food and Ambience! Food is authentic and the staff is great! The best Spanish cuisine you will find in the area.

The service and space were great. My friend enjoyed a shrimp dish and I ordered a fried fish dish. It didn't taste the freshest to me and was a bit fishy. I loved my dessert of chocolate cream pie. It was an ok food experience not anything great! read more

I love this place as a sit down restaurant. Their food is great, margs are great, servers are ok. I've noticed the servers will leave the check then don't come and pick up your money/credit card? Very weird. DO NOT ORDER TAKE OUT!!! It's awful. I am not a picky person but there is no reason why a simple shrimp quesadilla should be drenched in grease and butter..... I took the shrimp out and threw the rest out. The quesadilla consisted of 3 tomatoes, a little bit of cheese, and a decent amount of shrimp. They were COVERED. My friend's food was extremely soggy. No beef on the nachos like she paid for. Just trash. I learned my lesson... read more

I ate here last week as my wife had a craving for Mexican food. I cannot say that the food was bad, but nothing about it says I was eating at a restaurant as the quality was the same as if you had a long day at work and just threw something together without much care for seasoning and presentation. In addition, the prices were WAY too high for the quality and portions. For starters, they put chips and salsa on the table. I honestly thought the salsa was soup because it was in a soup bowl and had the same watery consistency as soup. The flavor was not bad, but you had to dig deep into the bowl to get any of the veggies. The tortilla chips were very plain and could have very well been out of a bag. As an appetizer, we ordered the shrimp cocktail in which the menu says is served with their special or signature cocktail sauce. Well, for $11, we got 5 shrimp that were not that big and the sauce was clearly out of a bottle. For the main course, my wife got the shrimp and crab rolled in tortillas. Not bad as I tasted it, but not worth $18 especially when it was served with dry rice, dried up lettuce and beans that were just a pile of mush. I ordered the charbroiled pork chops for $15. I was expecting thick pork chops as I get from Texas Roadhouse for less than that. What I got, along with the same rice, beans and lettuce set up my wife had were 2 thin and tiny pork chops (the size you can get a pack of 6 for $3 in Shoprite) that were not seasoned at all! I put some of the soup (salsa) on top of it to give it some flavor. The restaurant has some potential, but better care and preparation needs to be put into their food as well as to start using quality products. read more

I am a big chili relleno fan so I order them whenever I can. You have a choice of chicken, cheese or beef and nice enough, they allowed me to have one chicken and one cheese. I was a bit disappointed in the actual pepper, it seems like it was not fresh and soggy so I was not thrilled. The flavor of the spices were nice and the beans and rice were good too, because I never usually eat them. I have had better ones elsewhere but, the chips were fresh and homemade, the salsa was very nice as well, so I will try something else if I go there again. read more
