Nicole G.

First and foremost, the service was STELLAR! We wanted to stop in and pick up lunch on the way to my in laws house, they were closing at 2pm and we didn't know this as it was our first experience at Chispa's. We called our order in and before we even placed the order, we asked if it was okay since it was so close to closing time. They were so accommodating and they were to happy to take our order for pick up. When we got to the restaurant, they had our order ready! They were all so kind and welcoming. The restaurant was small but perfect to match the vibe and also had a cute outdoor seating area for guests. Conveniently, this spot offers a drive thru as well which is always great for on-the-go! The food. My fiancé and I rated our experience 7.5/10. Here is the rundown... My fiancé ordered the two carne asada taco plate, I ordered the carne asada burrito, and our son ordered the cheese quesadilla. The quesadilla was THE BEST, SO DELICIOUS! Although, I feel a different container would have been better for transporting to retain its shape, heat, and sticking together since they're stacked. The carne asada burrito. It comes with beans and rice and your selection of meat plus up to 3 additional toppings (a few for example are onions and cilantro, grilled onions, pickles onions, avocado, chipotle crema, jalapeños, and more). I chose avocado, pickled onions, and 2 sides of chipotle crema. Highly recommend the sauces on the side so you can control the quantity and ensure the sauce is in each bite throughout. It was delicious. The one flaw....The beans. I was not a fan of the beans. Which is unfortunate because the beans come in the burrito and on all the plates etc. I just found the beans with an off flavor, almost too salty. The color was not pleasant looking either. If these beans were changed, our 7.5 ranking would easily move to an 8.5/9. My fiance ordered the tacos. He really enjoyed the tacos, he opted for onions and cilantro for his toppings with sides of hot salsa. They were really good and it was a perfect portion for lunch. Yet again, the beans on the plate lunch option were not the best. Would we back again? Yes, absolutely. However I would order either the beans on the side or just opt out of them completely. Great lunch spot! Can't wait to try other items at Chispas! I encourage you to give them a try! Fairly inexpensive too! For the three of us, it was $40! Not bad at all! Fresh ingredients, great service!

Solid place with lots of great options. Was able to walk next door and get drinks to bring over which is a fun little twist. I had the taco plate with carne asada. Great portion size and flavors.

This place is a gem. I can't believe it took me this long to try it. everything I've had so far is amazing. The rice and beans are delicious. The beef tacos delicious and I really like the egg and potato burrito. I don't think you can go wrong.

Ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and it was huge! I got the "hot" salsa to go with it and it was delicious. No wait either on a Wednesday morning

Breakfast bowl... I've been sleeping on the menu with the same same nearly every time. Not this time.

They got me. Sometimes they forget the avo salsa OTS but I still go back, often. Honorable mentions: Chorizo & Egg burrito is a hit for the Kid with cilantro & onion added and avocado salsa on the side... I dig the burrito with veggies, I switch up between refried beans and pinto, add pickled onion, carrots and jalapens and the avocado salsa on it. Civeche Stuffed Papa Breakfast bowl hit a pocket I didn't know existed Carne fries are delicious, I'd stuff 2 orders in if I were physically capable Horchata yum Oj yum yum Quesadilla is massive Birria tacos on Wednesday & Thursday I thoroughly enjoy this place and it is one of maybe 2 other "drive thru" establishments I am willing to drive through. Yes, I do recommend and yes, I will return

I went for a quick lunch and had some pretty good tacos! Staff was super friendly and they made some pretty quality tacos. Queso and chips were good as well!

I ate a bite and then remembered to take a photo. This is the bacon burrito. So good!

We were in town visiting family for Thanksgiving and decided we were tired of the leftovers in the fridge so I yelped breakfast burritos and we chose this place based on the reviews. It certainly did not disappoint!!! I was planning to only eat half of my burrito and save the rest for the next morning but it was too yummy to stop eating! We ordered 1 bacon, 1 steak, and 2 chorizos and everyone was happy with their choice. We ordered at the drive thru window and we did not have to wait long. They came out hot and freshly made. The stickers on the wrappers were a cute touch. I definitely recommend their breakfast burritos and supporting a small business!

Kat V.

Wow I should have been here sooner! The roasted green chiles are delicious and I love them in my bowl of fish/rice/refried beans. Salsa here is hot and spicy. Horchata is tasty and thicker than other place. Outdoor seating is nice and also dog-friendly. They also have drive thru that is wrapped around their building.

Needs more toppings. Too many fries and not enough of the other stuff.

This place is owned by Los Olivos royalty and is so bomb. It is healthy, affordable, and delicious. I am on Keto and they make me Keto friendly meals all the time. They have this hot salsa that is so yummy. Everything is so fresh and the people are very friendly. I call ahead and go pick it up at the drive through. I can't recommend this place enough. It is such a good addition to the neighborhood. read more

When you go in, the decor is clean and simple. The lady behind the counter was amazing! Very patient and walked us through the ordering. The menu ordering is similar to Chipotle. You choose between tacos, salad, bowls, Quesadilla, burrito or tostadas and then choose the protein. It's extra $ for carne asada, shrimp and fish. My friend and I got a bowl with extra meat. The chicken and pastor were good but the Carne Asada was AMAZING! The green chilies were also phenomenal and the guacamole fresh. We were torn on the value. Was great quality but even with us spending an extra $4-5 each for the little bit of extra meat, still didn't have that much volume. Total was just over $30 for 2 small bowls and a side of chips with guacamole. Yes, better quality but Chipotle is still a better for value! Would go back just for the carne asada. read more

New to the area this restaurant is filling a niche for fresh fast healthier Mexican food. Today I had the carne asada street tacos, the carne asada was surprisingly good, proper flavor, not overly salted and had a nice char which added to the texture, the coleslaw was fresh and finely chopped, and included the right amount of cilantro and onions to not overpower the other flavors. Note that at least for me the salsa served on the side while good is bit spicy, next time I'll be sure to ask for mild salsa. read more

If you're looking for fresh and authentic Mexican food, this family-owned place is bar none! The Flautas a la Mexicana is a hidden gem! If their employees read this review, they probably know who I am ;-). Shrimp street tacos (so tasty) and the House salad (loaded with goodies) are also memorable favorites. The citrus green tea could be upgraded to a better vendor/brand, but otherwise, this place is my go-to 2 to 3 times per week. Great service from window to kitchen! 5 stars. read more

I am so shocked at these reviews . We have been three times. The first time, it was delicious. We ordered the same food in both the second and third visits. The bean and cheese burrito barely had any cheese and when you picked it up, the beans ran out the bottom. They were incredibly watery, on top of having a very small amount of cheese. We Also ordered a chicken tostada and a side of retried beans and cheese. The chicken tostada had very little chicken in it and the beans, which were sooo runny, had a very minuscule amount of cheese on them. Clearly, times are not easy, understandably so. However, I suspect they are trying to make their food go further at less expense to them. It was very disappointing, especially after being excited on the first visit. Neither I, nor any of my family or friends, will be enjoying Chispas anytime soon. read more

I just noticed this new place near me and figured I'd try it as I'm a huge Mexican food fan. I got a crane asada and pastor taco, rice, beans, elote/corn in a cup and chips and salsa. The price was reasonable, I spent under $20, and the tacos were okay. Pastor was super flavorful and my favorite and the carne just tasted like a carne you'd get at a 24hr drive thru. Beans and rice were ehhh, nothing special, kind of bland. The corn. The corn was not edible and I wanted it to be sooo bad. The corn was undercooked and it was in a cup with straight watery liquid with some half melted cheese that didn't melt at all and got gummy. I tried draining it and it came with a side of hot sauce and limes, I mixed it all up and I couldn't even take a bite. It was just way too watery and didn't taste at all like elote. I would line to try a burrito next time and hopefully it can save this place for me, but I'd rather go to Oscars right down the street and get better quality and better priced Mexican food. read more

I'm a sucker for a place that has tacos and Sonoran dogs (DOGOS!!) so I've been wanting to try this place. However, sad to say it didn't live up to MY expectations. The tacos were drowned in toppings which took away the taste of the meat. The pastor, which they list as the favorite, is in fact the one that tasted the best out of all tacos. If you tend to get a combination of different tacos, i recommend adding more pastor to your ratio especially because the carne asada is extra (???). The hot dog was okay, tasty even, but the main ingredient of a Sonoran dog is the bun and the bun was non-existent and soggy. The one thing I throughly enjoyed about this place is the aesthetic. Not only do I love food I also enjoy restaurant concepts and decor. It's tough to open a restaurant because just like many other ventures, you have to set yourself apart from others, now add a pandemic to the mix... I'd applaud Chispas for pulling all this off nicely. Earlier, notice how I said "my expectations". That means I'm not discrediting the higher ratings for Chispas. Everyone has different likes and dislikes when it comes to tacos, if they loved the food, chances are you might too! Just like any of my reviews I'd never tell you NOT to try a place. Regardless if I didn't like it, Chispas is worth your time. read more

Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

Or that the bacon was cooked to perfection with the perfect balance of crunchy and chewy. The ambiance of the place is great is wonderful with a good mix of music playing in the background yet not too loud that you can't hold a conversation. The cheesy grits were flavorful and filling and the pancakes are some of the best I've ever had. The prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.

The S'mores pancakes were still an absolute hit. They need to be a permanent fixture on the menu again. One change I thought that was cute is they had a Girl Brunch offering on the menu. It included a dry martini, fries, and Caesar salad. Service was good. Restaurant was bright and modern with the windows and lights. Parking was plentiful in this shopping center.

I ordered the Honey Jalapeño Chicken Sandwich with fries, and so did my friend. We both agreed it was delicious especially after adding a little ranch. Since we had a larger group, we ordered a martini tower, which was fun to share and definitely had enough alcohol to catch a nice vibe. One of my friends ordered the Huevos Rancheros and really enjoyed them, while another got the chicken sliders and liked them so much she took the leftovers home and happily finished them later. The highlight of the experience was the live one-man band, who created a great atmosphere, and our server, "Flexy Lexi." She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Great food, fun drinks, live entertainment, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

I sat out on the patio since the weather was so nice, and it made the whole experience even better! I love a good patio! The margaritas were delicious, and the food hit the spot. I ordered the shrimp Mediterranean platter, which was light, fresh, and full of flavor. For appetizers, I tried the deviled eggs (without bacon because I'm not a fan), and they were super tasty. I also had a bite of the honey jalapeño chicken sandwich, juicy and spicy sweet. The overall aesthetic is very coastal Hamptons with a relaxed, beachy vibe that feels both stylish and comfortable. Service was great throughout, and a nice bonus is their all day happy hour on Mondays.

I ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was $18 without a side with the fruit it was about $25. I get that it's a sit down restaurant but wow that's quite a bit for something so small and not filling. They do have a grab and go section if that's more up your ally and I've never gotten anything from there that I don't like! My favorite is the cherry chicken salad- I never thought that those flavors would go good together but the sweet and slightly tart pairs so well! The coffee flavors are a little weird like rosemary so I normally grab coffee elsewhere. Service is always on point as you can order to-go or sit down. The restaurant is slightly on the smaller side but they have outdoor space available!

The chicken mole is different from our first visit. It's a grilled chicken instead of crispy chicken, which we liked more. Our server told us we had to try the sticky cake, and she was right. My girlfriend and I were left wishing we had a whole bottle of that sauce to take home. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the perfect patron margarita, tasted and looked like straight lemon juice. Service makes or breaks the dining experience. Tatiana was amazing.

We kicked things off with a complimentary prickly pear vodka cocktail (delicious) paired with a comp app -- looks like they rotate these, and I got hummus with crudite and crackers. During the meal, there were 2 standout dishes that made this memorable. - Hamachi Crudo: THE BEST crudo I have ever had. They switch up the dressing regularly, but whatever they put on mine was unforgettable - 10 oz Wagyu Strip: solid steak, but nothing "Wagyu" tasting. It didn't have that melt-in-your-mouth fatty richness I was hoping for from wagyu and was slightly chewy. - Scallops: tender! - Asparagus: came with a creamy sauce which was a great touch - Chocolate Espresso Mousse Cake: MAGICAL. Layered, with crunchy pralines and vanilla ice cream. If you've had the chocolate hazelnut cake at Carbone, this gave me major similar vibes... that good! Will absolutely be back to try a different cut of steak and also the loaded baked potato. The ambience alone is worth the trip, but the crudo and that cake are what's going to stick with me.

Some of the standout items for us were the mocktails and the pasta. The Pillows of Love pasta absolutely lived up to the hype and was one of the highlights of the meal. We also enjoyed the mac and cheese, mushrooms, steak, and seafood. Everything was beautifully prepared, high quality, and worthy of the restaurant's reputation. If I had one minor critique, it would be the king crab legs. They are char-grilled, which gives them a smoky flavor that wasn't quite our personal preference. That said, the quality of the crab itself was excellent, and it's more a matter of taste than a criticism of the preparation. The atmosphere made for a perfect birthday dinner--upscale, energetic, and memorable without feeling stuffy. Combined with outstanding food and attentive service, it made for a special evening that my wife and I won't forget. If you're looking for a restaurant for a celebration, date night, or simply an exceptional dining experience, Maple & Ash delivers. We'll definitely be back.

We are big fans of their sister restaurants, so we were really excited to try this location! To start, my husband was thrilled with the bread service. It is very unique and reminded us of a fancy Pillsbury croissant. We skipped taking pictures of the appetizers because we dove right in, but the meatballs were delicious and the colossal shrimp cocktail was great. The shrimp are ordered à la carte, so I chose to get three of them. For drinks, my husband loved his spicy mezcal margarita. I had the pineapple mezcal margarita, which was good, but it wasn't very pineapple-like despite me asking for it to be. For the mains, my husband had an off-menu Wagyu strip with sides of broccoli and fries, which he really enjoyed. I had the linguini and clams, which I was super excited about. The clams were very good, though unfortunately not the best I've ever had. I actually found myself wishing I had ordered a steak with a seafood topper for a surf-and-turf situation instead, but overall it was still really great. The only reason I wouldn't give this a full 5 stars is because the service was a little shaky at first. There were several times right at the beginning where we needed our server and she was nowhere to be found. Interestingly, the restaurant got much busier later into our dinner, but the service gaps happened at the start when it was still slow. Overall, it was a really great dinner and we will definitely be back!

Just absolutely amazing from the friendly staff to the outrageously delicious food. The owner created this model in a smart way. I like most other restaurants he gives proper portions of protein in the burritos and other items. Customers are not only satisfied on their stomach but they leave after a wonderful experience with no regrets that they spent to much money. Rather walking to the car feeling good that thee are smart and good people in this world. The saying you get what you pay for is no longer relevant since lying became an acceptable practice on the worlds. Chispas is how things used to be, you get it all. 1. You get what you pay for 2. The best tasting and quality ingredients 3 .Hospitality( remember that word ) 4. A healthier option and created with style and grace.

This is my go-to spot for fast Mexican food! The drive-thru is super convenient and always quick, and the quality is consistently great every single time. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I also appreciate that they're vegetarian-friendly -- plenty of tasty options to choose from. The tacos and burritos are always delicious, and the beans and rice are so flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend if you're looking for fast, fresh, and reliable Mexican food! read more
