Absolutely great place and wonderful service! Brought my mom all the way from Miami to eat together in the Havana room. I myself loved the ambiance, decorations and we enjoyed ourselves a bunch! The food was delicious and super filling! I really loved the flexibility to convert any alcoholic drink into nonalcoholic. The staff, like Tonya, know the menu inside and out and are super kind. read more

I have been trying to find a good Mexican restaurant since my favorite one closed down. This is the place. The food is very good and the staff is fantastic. Would highly recommend this place to my friends and family. read more

Taco Tuesday works here. They have an entire menu page for different types of tacos, I tried the puerto pico, and the el lioncito and both were great. The chips and salsa were freshly made and the seasoning was perfect. The special gets you two tacos with rice and beans. I had an additional taco for $.95 as did one of my guests and lunch came to less than $30. Perfect the service was friendly and efficient and everything was clean. All COVID guidelines were followed even though they mainly used the front dining room everything was well spaced. We will be back. read more

Chaparral Mexican Grill - Taco Tuesday lunch for 3 - Mexican Near Me - Cocoa, Florida

Ordered Cuban sandwich: sandwich was frozen, microwaved, and stuck on grill. Sandwich was not good.

This review is 3.5 stars...came here as a last minute decision. Had a taste for some authentic Mexican food. Haven't been to this place in over 10 yrs or so. As soon as we walked in we were seated right away. It was a few couples and families there on a Saturday night. The tortilla chips were brought out. They could've been a lil warmer. The salsa dip was good. The main thing I was craving was Birria tacos . But unfortunately this was not on the menu. So I just ordered a few ground beef tacos. They were cool...the meat had pretty good flavor. The beans and rice was cool too. Nothing out of the ordinary or that made it stand out more than the same dish I had at other Mexican restaurants...But I would come here again if they started selling Birria tacos read more

Nice and quiet with delicious food. Everyone was friendly. The food came quick and didn't disappoint read more

Kimberly was absolutely fantastic server and deserves an applause as she was working hard and yet still able to attend to my needs. Thank you for the great food and will definitely be back read more

So to start out, we ordered some house margaritas and those were delicious. Then came the chips and salsa. The red salsa is not bad, but the spicy green stuff is terrible. I ordered the carne de asada tacos. The meat had a good grilled flavor, but the rice was still hard and chippy. The beans weren't bad. The only reason I give them a 3 is for the margaritas. The food is a solid 2 and a half. read more

Chaparral Mexican Grill - Strawberry banana margarita and Carne Asada tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Cocoa, Florida

we just moved here to a cocoa and really enjoyed this restauran. Tonya was super nice and we appreciated her making us feel so welcomed. Food is great and drinks are awesome! 10/10 would recommen! read more

I love this restaurant. My friends, family and I have been going here for years. The owner is always upbeat and friendly. The food is always good. Cold beer and awesome margaritas at a fair price. I can't believe someone would leave a bad review based on a photo that was in the lobby of our Governer Ron DeSantis. That photo has been there for years. Last time we went, we noticed it was taken down. Now the mask wearing cry baby that posted the negative review can breathe a sigh of relief. You're feelings are safe until someone else triggers you. read more

This is our favorite place! Tonya was amazing. Great recommendations & service. If you are in the cocoa area, this is the spot to go to!!! And the margaritas are fantastic!!!! read more

Food is great service is awesome taco Tuesday is the best. Best tacos in Brevard and I love the Ron Desantis photo as you walk in praise God we have a governor who fights for our state. read more

This was our first time coming to this restaurant, really good mexican decorstions and peaceful atmosphere,our friends had told us it was very good and the food was something to try. Well they could not have been more right lol, as soom as we arrived the host wss very attentive. Quickly sat us down, and gave us free little shots to try from the bar (husband and i are over 21), he asked for our IDs and made sure we were legally able to drink. Then after that came our waitress, i know her name started with an M but I dont remember it. Staff was just splendid, theyre attentive but not over the top. Now as for the food what can I say except wow! They give you free chips and salsa and boy was that salsa fresh! I think the hubby and i talked about it the whole time we were there . For an appetizer we ordered the mango ceviche, im not one for food with Mango in them, but that ceviche was delicious! And its enough for two people, highly recommend if anyone ever visits. As for our entree we both order a combo platter with three choices we got two tacos one with chicken and another one with carnitas, tacos were okay, maybe some pico de gallo would have made it better but not out of this world overall the meat was juicy so it wasnt bad, we also got corn tamal, it had a sauce on top but super yummy with lots of pork meat! The fried beans with cheese on top was as good as it could get and paired really nice with the rice. Overall if you made it through this entire review and you're in tbe cocoa area, highly reccomend you visit this little place! read more

WOW, Big disappointment for my family tonight with takeout. No chips included, missing rice for one dinner, only 1 salsa included for 4 dinners, chicken very tough in tacos! Do better! read more

This place was severely disapointing. It used to be good and several people once recomended it. Now it is dirty and gross. The tortilla chips came out stale. I asked if they could fry dome tortillas for me which I felt bad about having to ask but they went in the back and refried the tortillas which made them slightly better. Then a roqch was crawling on the wall and the owner expertly swept it onto the floor and stepped on it like he does this everyday. Verh disgusted had just finished meal. Never will I return again. read more

I'll do a follow up review soon but just stating now that the food and service is amazing. Every Monday of the last week of every month, the mariachi band comes and plays songs at customers' requests and it is a blast. The servers do a great job and the food comes timely and never late or forgotten. The highlights of the menu for me are the plantains, fajitas with steak, margaritas, and the flan. read more

Is is possible to give a rating lower than 1? Had the pork chops, the meat was smelly and must have turned bad. When we brought it to the attention of the manager, he proceeded to cut the meat to smell it, took a bite out of our plate AND Told is that as a Mexican, he KNEW when meat turned bad. Had i not been at a business meeting, I would have written him a new one. He had the gall to charge us without ever apologizing. Hear my words STAY AWAY. Worse experience ever read more

Chaparral Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Cocoa, Florida

Food and drinks were good. I like the Mexican rustic decor. It has a separate bar area that is pretty nice. Happy hour is before 6, half price margaritas. Staff is great and always friendly and tentative. On a holiday when I went the manager was handing out free shots of tequila to the customers so that was super nice. Food is good and I really like the queso and chips. Give it a try read more

Food is fair It's your typical Mexican food nothing to write home about serves the purpose. The service is good and friendly and your ambience is your typical, Mexican decorations. read more

This was the first time my mom and I have been to eat at this restaurant. It is Tuesday so I was looking on yelp for Mexican restaurants for us to go have Taco Tuesday for lunch! We had a great first experience. Our server Tyler was awesome and very attentive, and the food and drinks were all amazing. I could not decide what to eat for awhile because I wanted to try it all. I finally went with the ground beef Chimichanga plate minus the refried beans w/ the queso on the side to use with the chips and salsa and a strawberry margarita. My mom went with the ground beef Wet Burrito plate and an original margarita. We were both very happy with our decision to try this little gem!!!! We will definitely be back with our friends and families very soon. read more

Though my server was so sweet and explained the special items and drinks available. I wish the food was better. My carnitas were very dry and lacked much flavor. Also my tortillas didn't have that homemade taste and lacked that char that I like when coming off the stove. I might give it a second chance another time. read more

Rode there today on the motorcycles just looking to get something to eat, and as it turns out that is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. As soon as we walked in the staff was very nice. We told them that we were on kind of a time crunch, and they seem to do what they could to get us in and out all the while taking excellent care of us. The food was amazing. It was margarita Monday, so it was two for one and we both enjoyed one on the rocks while eating an amazing lunch. Definitely going back with the family. read more

They upgraded the bar ambiance and it looks great. Half price margaritas instead of bogo which is great if you just want one. Since there are different sizes be sure to get friendly with the bartender and tell him to put the margarita in the glass you want. Chips and salsa are amazing. Salsa is made there and not the traditional heavy tomato kind but flavors more of pepper and spices. Somewhat spicy. read more

Food was delicious and service better. Our waitress was attentive, fun and a delight. We had drinks, margaritas were great, entrees that all came out timely and desserts. Nothing disappointed all items were great! read more

I'm new to the area and received a coupon in the mail from the restaurant so decided to check it out. Free chips and salsa for each table was nice. Fresh and tasty. I ordered a Chile relleno and my boyfriend ordered a steak taco for an appetizer. For the main course I had the Ropa Vieja with Cuban bread (available upon request) and my boyfriend had a chicken chimichanga. Both had good flavor and I took leftovers home. You can get Mexican or Cuban food here. Full menu with appetizers and dessert. We had great service and would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Would give a -0 star if I could. My parents and their friends are constant customers, never complain always tip well. Well tonight I come here with my parents the female manager Cassett. My mothers drink was messed up as well as her food. The female manager was completely rude and made a very disrespectful comment to my parents claiming they always complain when this is the first time they've had an issue read more

we had Kimberly as as a server and she was awesome!! food was great and margaritas we super good (train shots were plentiful) highly recommend chapparral!! read more

We were skeptical first as there were no cars in parking lot, we were first customers at noon. We were thinking about returning back to nearby Indian vegetarian restaurant as we had few guests from India traveling with us. But we dared to go in and were not disappointed. Lunch was great, good portion side. Tacos were good. Most important was guests liked the food ( their second preference is Mexican food after Indian food). My son was super excited , he wrote his special feedback with all happy faces. Wife was happy with Flan. ( I thought that it could be more smooth/soft). Overall nice surprise while traveling to Kennedy space center. Whole party is happy, I am happy. Thanks yelp. read more

Try the mango ceviche.. pretty yummy. Hubbie always enjoys the chimichanga. 2 for 1 margaritas on Mondays and service has always been excellent. read more

I went today with my wife and 2 friends . It was great as usual . I had a great lunch my wife had a prickly pear margarita, they had piña colada . Service was very good as usual . Never a complaint. Thanks for good service . read more

Atmosphere is nice. Sometimes the service is good, most of the time it is bad. Food is average. It is not authentic Mexican, it is Tex-mex and Cuban. My biggest problem is with the staff at the front desk. Sometimes the person at the front taking orders to go is very nice and competent, other times there will be someone there who is completely unaware of what is going on or what you are saying to them while you place your order. You can see an example of this by the manager's pinche response to a customer who wrote a long and detailed 1 star review of the place in the reviews below by the name of "Todd B". The manager's response is: "Dear Tood !! After star reading your post I realized you have watch way too much TV !" Very dumb response for a manager. The only reason to eat here is because there are nothing but garbage dumps for restaurants in the area. La Placita is a more authentic Mexican place down the road from Craparral. Its not as nice inside but it's a better experience. read more

If you read my other reviews, you would know that I rarely give a 5 star rating. Chaparral just hit the perfect combo of Margarita, sausa, and service. Then service was great. I was permitted to order somethig that wasn't exactly on the menu. I admit that the perfect Margarita or the perfect sausa is a matter of personal taste. This place just happened to match mine. read more

Same owners as El Leoncito and the quality and service is as top notch here as it is at their signature restaurant. I have to say though, this location is very nicely decorated and appears to be bigger than the other locale. I had the Palomilla Steak with plantanos maduros and white rice, with black beans on the side - reminds me of what my dad use to make. My wife had her go to meal, the smothered enchiladas which she loved as always. We topped off the dinner with a nice hellping of fried ice cream we shared, I'm glad we did, because I would not have been able to finish one on my own. The service was okay. I wish she would have come back a couple more times to check on us, but I didn't notice it until late in our dinner since our conversation was just clipping along very well... read more

I LOVE Chaparral Mexican Grill! We had another great meal there last Saturday. I had my favorite, Chile Relleno, which was delicious and enough for 2 meals. Different people have different tastes as to this dish, and I like the chiles with a medium texture rather than on the tough side or mushy. These were perfect. My daughter ordered the Pina Veracruz and said it was as delicious as it was pretty - and also enough for a second meal. Our Margaritas made a tasty accompaniment to the food. Our server, Rebecca, was attentive, and the prices were very reasonable. We will be baaack! 1341 N Cocoa Blvd, Cocoa, FL 32922 Phone: (321) 576-9800 read more

Not a fan of any of the food we ordered. It lacked taste. Very bland. The drinks were good. Nice staff.

Great Mexican and Cuban food. Service was good with a welcoming atmosphere they have a full bar. Wish we had a place like this at home. The salsa is awesome if you are in the area and like Cuban or Mexican come and try this place. read more

This place has the same menu as El Leoncito in Titusville. It is just about one notch lower in food taste and service as the original. House margaritas are not very good and are not made correctly as they rely heavily on the mix, making it rather weak and sugary. read more

I love this restaurant for their excellent food and great service with a smile from bilingual servers who graciously allow me to practice my Spanish. As much as I love their Mexican food, their Cuban menu would put many of the local Cuban restaurants to shame. Their rice is just as Mami cooked, as are the black beans. Spectacular mouth-watering steak and grilled chicken -- !Que RICO! But, their Cuban black beans and white rice...Wow...Let's just say that Mami and Abuela would approve. DELICIOSO. The one point of contention is the white Sangria from a bottle they are now serving instead of the red Sangria that is bartender-mixed. Now, THERE's a SANGRIA. Co-workers would flock to the bar for that sweet Sangria. Go back to making it at the bar instead of serving the pre-mixed white wine version that is more sour than sweet, and you'd have all the business people congregating at the bar after work once more. All in all, SPECTACULAR...or I should say...ESPECTACULAR. read more

Salsa tasted like ketchup, absent minded and forgetful waitress, waitress that served food was wearing blue rubber hospital gloves. Rice was good, but food was cold in the middle and we've had much better. Update: wet burrito=uncontrollable diarrhea... read more
