    Hockey and tacos
    Jonathan B.

    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

    Way too expensive food was 6 out of 10 I was getting an order of quesabirria but each taco that you wanted was 8$

    Queso Pupusas and two Quesabirria. Amazing!!
    Jas M.

    Food is great but lately they've been raising their prices. $7.99 for a quesa Birria is insane. This is the only Mexican Resturant that charges that amount for just 1. I haven't been back since. :(

    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.

    Michelada with Modelo Especial

    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.

    They offer both indoor and outdoor dining. If you sit outdoors, they have heat lamps to keep you warm. We opted to dine in. There was plenty of space between us and other tables. I ordered the tacos dorados de cameron (crispy tacos with shrimp). The tacos were crispy, the quality of shrimp was okay. It doesn't come with any sides. It was pretty busy, so service was a bit slow, but our waiter was friendly!

    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!

    This place is pretty decent. It was pretty warm inside so it was hard to enjoy the food. The services was pretty good and the food was overall an average Mexican restaurant. I don't think there stood out. I had the barria taco. I had to add salt for flavor. My parents and my Neice enjoy the food though they had chicken burritos and chicken enchiladas. I do have to say that the horchata is authentic.

    Chapala It is my very favorite Mexican restaurant in Gilroy . I love the seafood mochahetti it is full of flavor and so dam good. Very spicy. The price is a little expensive but worth it. I come here about 2 or 3 times a month. I have nothing positive things to say about this place even the employees are super helpful and very nice I will forever be their customer

    Friendly service. The server was helpful with food suggestions. Green avocado salsa was delicious. We ordered the tacos dorados de camarón, camarones zarandeados and one queso birria taco. My husband's favorite as the camarones zarandeados. Honestly everything was good. Watch out for the Serrano salsa that comes with the tacos de camarón, so good but it was fire!

The mission of this visit was to try the seafood boil, and boy were we thrilled! The place didn't disappoint, Food was fresh and flavorful. We ordered garlic butter noodles 4 Yam fries 5 flavorful and crispy with a spicy dip. Seafood boil 4.5 good quality and flavors, I felt it was a tad salty, but I won't complain. Unlike the other seafood boil places the food came in a ceramic serving tray. We ordered the house sauce with medium spice with shrimp, king crab and clams.The spice level was perfect and so was the sauce. Very pleased with this service, portions, pricing and the flavors. Definitely coming back to taste several other items on the menu. I would have loved for them to play some music rather than the silence. I wasn't too bothered. Y it though since I was too focused on the food.

There's a sign that says "Wait to be seated", but no one came out to seat us and a group of people walked past us to go inside, were sat right away. A girl who sat us ended up being our server but took a very long time for her to come back out to even take our drink orders. I had to ask the guy bringing water and tortilla chips who our server was. Once our server arrived she was very nice and answered our menu questions. I ordered the the spicy Mamacita and my friend ordered the pina colada. Both drinks looked cool but mine was very sweet, not really spicy at all and was tiny for $15. I think I mostly paid for the presentation part...flower, popsicle, etc. We both ordered the 3 taco trio and the food came out before long. I had a mahi mahi, carne asada and a taco macho. Again, the food wasn't that great: rice and beans had an off flavor, octopus was chewy in the taco macho, and the mahi was a bit fishy. We took half our food to go and checked out. All in all I would not come back unless it was out of convenience due to the location. The food and drinks have a nice presentation, but the taste of everything wasn't there for me. Although our server was really nice and my friend and I were busy chatting, the service was slow.

Service was good, but they were down a server so a bit slow. First red flag were the chips, which were stale, not crunchy or crispy. I could fold the chips in half. Also ordered a Diet Coke and a Modelo. Diet Coke was brought out in a can with no glass or ice, no glass for the beer either. At home, maybe, but would expect more at a restaurant. Ordered the chicken cheese quesadilla, Carne Asada super burrito, and a regular Carne Asada burrito. The chicken in the cheese quesadilla was a bit hard, reminiscent of leftover chicken that has been sitting for a while. Regular burrito was good, plenty of meat, beans and rice. Super burrito was mostly filled with rice and beans, not much meat. The waitress was very nice, however the food left much to be desired. Unfortunately, search for it go to Mexican restaurant in Gilroy continues.
