The food was fresh and very authentic. The service was very good. Excellent assortment of menu items. They were also able to accommodate my wife, who is gluten and dairy free. We definitely will be back. read more

I wanted Tex mex and probably got a more authentic Mexican food experience, cuz they had beans on top of their cheese enchiladas. Apparently it's how Chepa grew up eating them. I tried several dishes including the fish tacos, nachos, cheese enchiladas, flautas and the chimichanga. Hands down, my fave was the chimichanga...usually not a fan but it was basically a fried gigantic burrito filled with the juiciest carne asada meat. I was in pure heaven. It was so good, we went back the next day so I could eat the chimichanga to myself. I devoured it like it was my last meal on earth. I'd go back and eat that dish daily. Their chips and salsa are also really good. The chips are light and airy and the salsa was also delicious. Service was 5/5 read more

Great value, good food and service and great Margaritas!! For a good low cost meal Chepa's is great!

I've never had molcajete before and now I'm a fan cause of this place! It was enough for two of us and we even had some leftovers! The meats are tasty and I love the flavors in this dish. Service is good and the ambiance is nice too. Overall a great place for Mexican food based off what we got. Chips are really good too! read more

I asked our hotel for a recommendation for Mexican food, and the staff suggested this spot, calling it one of the best in the area. They weren't wrong. I'd come back to Texas just to eat here again. The restaurant was small and quaint, creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The service was outstanding--I never once had to ask for a refill. And the food? Absolutely mouthwatering. Every bite was bursting with flavor. A truly unforgettable dining experience. read more

I actually came over here to eat Asian food and noticed this restaurant at the end of the building. What an incredible find! The food and service is really good. One of those hole in the wall places you have to stumble upon by accident! The food I was served was really good! My first visit and I had the spinach and chicken enchiladas. I chose a great item. Wow! So much fresh spinach and nice chunks of shredded chicken. Could not have been better for a first time visit. My server was Bryan, and he's an impressive server. His suggestions were spot on. Grateful, for his honest input. One of those times that straight honesty rewarded us both! I wasn't going to have a drink. I changed my mind. I had the Diablo. Great pick for me. I did the frozen vs the over ice per my waiter. It had two perfectly placed frozen sliced jalapeño's placed on top. Plus, I ate them and they were super good! Glad I changed my mind and did something different. Their salsa is not good. Actually, it's horrible. It's from a can. All canned tomatoes with some jalapeños?? and dried spices tossed in. This place would be perfect if they changed their salsa recipe. It's pretty bad. Considering, everything else is really good. Not sure why they would use a short cut on the item every one tastes first at the restaurant. Makes no sense. This business would certainly benefit from a redo on the salsa. It's probably the worst sauce I've ever eaten. Otherwise, this place would be perfect!! July 2024 read more

The mole enchiladas were fantastic. The service was prompt, but not hovering, and the ambiance was nice, but we would have preferred a lower volume of music since there were not that many in the restaurant when we were there. read more

Was in the area and checked " burrito " this place came up. I called on the phone to place a to go order. It was ready when I arrived. Burrito came w a tiny slab of guacamole and sour cream. The burrito itself wasn't on the bigger side. And surprisingly it came w chips and salsa. When I arrived home to open bag. I noticed the order also came w a side of cheese sauce for chips. I wasn't expecting anything good but I was wrong. Burrito was great Gut the spot. Chips salsa cheese sauce were all great and fresh. Hole in the wall w great food ? Yep. Go try it.

What a surprising find in this shopping center! We saw some great reviews and decided to give it a try. This is very authentic Mexican food. We sampled lots on their appetizer platter. The flautas were my favorite - and usually I'm not much of a flautas fan. Service was very attentive and the menu had lots of options! read more

I don't know why we haven't found this place singer. Great food, really, really really good margaritas (quality and price). The food is decently priced as well. Wonderful, wonderful wonderful staff. We have been two days in a row and decided to make this our weekly place with friends. read more

What a great find! While you can't really see it from the road as it sits back in a strip mall, it is SO worth the search. We wanted something different than the average menu around here, and while they offer a lot of standards, the Molcajete is absolutely a knock-your-socks-off experience. The lava rock was piled high with beef, chick, shrimp, peppers, onions, sauce, and more. we got plenty or tortillas to go with it as well. The appetizer sampler was huge, and we took well over half our food home as there were only two of us. The dining room is exactly what you'd expect in a strip mall. That said, the service is exceptional, and everyone working there appeared to help out each other. It's a true find on McDermott Road, and we will be back sooner rather than later. read more

First off, I know my internal barometer on price verses quality has not adjusted to the inflating prices, so my reviews might be harsher than usual. One thing I want to point out though, which is very strange, is that the appetizers are more expensive than the dinners, I don't know if I've ever seen this in a restaurant. The guacamole is $13.50 which is more than even fine dining Mexican restaurants, the quesadilla is $11, the shrimp cocktail is $17.50, so I'm not sure what's going on there, but they think very highly of their appetizers. It is a comfortable restaurant, nice ambience and good service. I ordered a fajita beef burrito and a sangria. The sangria was very good, not too sweet. They have a sangria swirl which is a frozen sangria, that might be sweeter for those who want that. That said, it was $10.50 which is way more pricey than I expected. The burrito was dry, I ordered the fajita beef which made it $15.50, but it didn't have a lot of beef in it, typical, mostly rice and beans. The tortilla was lukewarm, and once it got colder it became very stiff. The beef was actually really good, so maybe the fajitas are the way to go at this restaurant. The salsa here is not very flavorful, tomatoey, I asked for a hot sauce which was a green sauce, hoping it would bring more flavor with the heat, but it did not. I had the Tres Leches which was good, but dry. A Tres Leches should be soaked with milk, this one is more like a regular cake than a Tres Leches. Good, but not worth the calories. In summary, it had a nice ambience and good service, but the food was lacking. This place has good reviews so maybe the fajitas are amazing, or some other meal, or it's just the margaritas, but their burrito at $16 was far inferior to a burrito I get at a hole in a wall Mexican place. The burrito was dry, read more

We stumbled upon this place by accident and we are so glad we did! The service was excellent. There was never a time our drinks were empty and they gave excellent recommendations to both fit what we wanted and even helped us save money. The food is delicious! The food is not just any Mexican food, it's specifically a Michoacán style (which has an UNESCO designation) and it is so good. We had the chicken mole (spicy but it's made there and amazing), the molcajete for one (the shrimp and sausage were our favorite parts but it was all great), Barbacoa tacos (my husband loved them) and abuelita tacos (my son liked them but he was obsessed with the charro beans it came with). They gave us a sopapilla to sample and now I regret not ordering more because they were so good! Also, they had the game on and that was a plus for my husband. Overall I highly recommend this place! read more

Chicken Fajitas: chicken was a little overcooked but the well done veggies were as requested. The fajita setup was fresh and no negatives. The sour cream chicken enchiladas were spot on. Taste was good and sour cream sauce also solid. They added chopped jalapeños on top when requested at no charge. Service was attentive and restrooms were very clean. Overall restaurant was also clean and inviting. One last note. The guacamole on the setup and pico de gallo were very fresh and tasty. read more

We have been living in this area for over 5 years and I am wondering why we haven't been to this restaurant. :-) Today we decided to try this restaurant on my wife's suggestion as she had seen this restaurant appear on her social media feed. We got there just about 1:30 PM and we found out that we were in time for their weekend brunch. So we ordered Pepas (Huevos Rancheros) & Huevos con Papas. The brunch starts with a bowl of fresh fruits followed by the food you ordered and followed by dessert - sopapillas. The food is flavorful and fresh and portions are generous. The good thing about the place is that they ask you if you want tortillas to avoid wastage. The brunch is priced at a very competitive price! The restaurant seems family-owned and offers good service in a clean and comfortable environment. read more

Stopped by Chepa's last week for the first time to grab dinner with a friend. While there isn't much of an ambiance, the service was good. My friend got the ceviche (which she was not a fan of - she said it was too salty), but I grabbed the quesabirria tacos, and they were delicious. I would definitely come back for those another time. Overall, worth stopping by :) read more

My wife and I have been here a few times but I've never made a review. Really good salsa, food is pretty darn good too. I got the Pollo LA Crema, it's a chicken breast with cheese and sourcream sauce on top, also came with a side of cilantro rice and cup of tortilla soup. Chicken and rice were awesome, tortilla soup wasn't my favorite...I wonder if they'd let me sub bean soup? My wife got the Beef Fajita Chimichanga, we were both disappointed it wasnt more crunchy but the flavor was awesome. Anyway, try it if you're in the Allen area. read more

Sometimes takeout can be a hassle in these trying times. I am of the mind that if a place values me and my business they will make every attempt to not only deliver a good dining experience inside but, one that is delivered to go. I recently had a bad experience trying to pick up tex mex at a place across the street. I left without my order because it was chaotic, unorganized and dangerous. Chepas came thru with extra points for safe take out delivery. As I walked up to the front of the restaurant there was a table with hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes for my use! Yay. I entered and told them my name. the order was sitting in front, I paid and was gone in 2 minutes. Loved it and the food hit the spot. Not as good as eating in but...and the employees all had mask on. If you are looking for good tex mex with safe take out, look no further. read more

We have been dining at the Chepa's in Allen for 5 plus years and excited about the opening of this Chepa's restaurant on Stacy Road. We love the bar and atmosphere at the new restaurant. We were also excited to see Hiram behind the bar! We had great service, food and of course margaritas. I can't wait for spring time so we can dine on their outdoor patio. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Chepas is more of a simple looking restaurant but the food makes up for the ambiance. I enjoy Alfredo's favorite chicken dish and the queso here. The salsa is a little bit different than I remember but that is only because I love spicy things. They have good food but the price is more than I would want to pay, but I understand things cost more nowadays. They definitely give a lot of food and the service from the staff is great as always! read more

I don't even know where to begin! This has to be one of the BEST Restaurant EXPERIENCES we have ever had! Stumbled upon this place when out and about on Yelp. Immediately went to the bar where we welcomed by Harim who took our drink orders. I ordered the Pollo ala Crema. The wife ordered Tacos al Carbon. One of the Best Mexican dishes I've ever enjoyed. Wife enjoyed hers as well. I then ordered some Don Julio Reposado. We met a Patron or two who were very friendly. I was awaiting my Bill that I imagined would be around $120 and it was $55. I was floored. This has to be one of the BEST VALUES out there. I'd almost like to keep it a secret! If you ever in the Allen area DO NOT PASS GO and ensure you stop at this establishment!!!! read more

I love the fact that this side of Allen is starting to get more restaurants. The food here is great and the service is fast and respectful. I try to steer away from the same foods when I eat out, but when I have Mexican food, I can't help but order enchiladas. It's how I'm wired. The enchiladas at Chepa's don't disappoint, they were tender, cheesy and super yummy. The chips and salsa are also delicious, and I was even offered a refill since I ate my first batch of chips and salsa so quickly. The restaurant is clean, its the first thing you notice when you walk in, its a refreshing environment that is culturally setup to brand the product they sell. The staff is awesome and everyone I talked to had a smile. There are always people here at lunchtime,which another indication that they are getting it right. I think Chepa's is a great addition to Allen, and I look forward to many lunches and family dinners in the future. read more
