    Never been in a good place to take a lunch and drink at the same time fully recommended!! Recomendado al millón y pasadito el chilanguito !

    a plate of beans and rice
    Scott B.

    This is advertized as a Mexican Buffet, but it's really a bar and dance parlor with table seating. I settled for a combination plate of enchiladas verdes with rice and beans... and of course, a Tecati. The enchildas were excellent... the rice was generic and the beans were whole. I was completely satisfied with the meal. It was Sunday night with only a few patrons, yet the disc jockey was in full swing and the music was penetrating. (I had to remove my hearing aids to survive! The guy next to me laughed.) Good thing I speak Spanish, the waitress didn't speak English... but it didn't matter anyway... we had to use sign language through the noise. This is clearly an ethic hangout, and geared to younger folks and families. I don't feel qualified to rate La Chapanita...,but everyone was in good spirits and the food was good!

    The sign is the best part

    The worst in every way, the decor is like a school gym when I was a kid. One server for the only 4 tables eating. Food and drinks are so expensive a screwdriver is 10.00 margaritas are $12. The chips and cold unsalted over cooked and served with A plastic ramekin of green sauce. Two of us ordered chicken flautas Each order had three and no rice or beans it was $10 and they were not much bigger than a pencil. The other person ordered the steak Asada small sloppy plate. So to flautas a steak and 3 margaritas was $100. Never again

    Toppings :)

    This was my first time visiting a Mexican buffet & im so glad my husband found this place! Everything here is delicious , hot & fresh! It's about $15 per person on the weekend and we went on a Sunday! They have so much options for food , drinks , desserts & toppings! My favorite foods that was cooked there I couldn't stop eating was the tamales , pozole they made it so good, you can tell it's quality over and over again. I'd give this place a 10/10 delicious and will be back.

    Delicious food, many selections to choose from od try them all, clean place and friendly staff (family run). They just opened 7-8 months ago and I hope they thrive and open a branch in Everett next (closer top where I live, hah!). Will be back and recommend this place.

    I definitely went overboard here but I was coming back from a Mt Rainier hike, so could you blame…read moreme? We came here at 5pm on Wed and there was no wait. Wait started probably around 6pm although there were still empty tables then. They provide garnishes for your water and also provide 4 salsas/accompaniments for your meal. I got the 16 oz ribeye served on hot stones. They cooked it slightly less than what you want, so for my medium rare, they cook it rare. It also comes with chimichurri and molacete(?) which has a more refreshing flavor. They season with rosemary and even light a branch on fire for more aroma. I tried a bite of my friend's filet mignon which was good, but my preferred cut is the ribeye or NY strip. We also shared the papa loca (worth it - so good) and the cauliflower (not as good, but I'm comparing it to a version made by Cuerno, a Mexican steakhouse in NY). I had a glass of the pinot noir and the garzon, and both were good, slightly tannic and 'juicy'.

    I've gone here twice now and could not remember the name as the first time I tried it so I'm glad I…read morecame again! The first time I got the Wagyu tacos which were sooo good and I love the variety and flavor of the sauces. I loved how simple the taco Wagyu is as the meat is high quality For my second visit I got the Vacio Wagyu which came in a sizzling hot stone plate and it stayed hot for me to cook all of my Wagyu. It didn't really need the accompanied sauce but it was nice to have. I felt the large rock salt was a little bit nub and would make it too saucey but I found the rosemary a perfect combination with the Wagyu especially as one was cooking underneath. Excellent service as well - our server was attentive and timely. I've only gone here for lunch and we did not have to make a reservation as it was not too busy!

    I thought this place had shut down but when I sent my husband to buy tamales, he came here. He said…read morethe place was up and running with customers. He only came here because he thought that if the tamal cost $6 then they had to be good. They were not. When I asked him where he got them and he said here, I looked it up on Yelp, who was saying they were permanently shut down. Little to no flavor. Traditional Guatemalan tamales have a slice of red bell pepper, and an olive in it, giving it more flavor but this one just had the meat and let me add that the amount of bones that were in the tamale was just absolutely unacceptable. Everyone knows that you don't put bones in tamales. The amount of times I bit into a bone or had to spit them out, made the eating process so unpleasant. I had told my husband to not come here anymore since it's so overpriced but I guess he forgot. It was just another reminder why I don't come here anymore

    When we walked in we weren't exactly sure of the process, but it was clear we were supposed to…read moreorder at the counter first. The restaurant is big, spacious and super clean. We ordered the churrasco chapin (grilled steak with rice, black beans, sausage and house salad) and dobladas (tortillas with beef, cabbage and onion and homemade tomato sauce). The dobladas were yummy and hefty but not too heavy. The churrasco wasn't bad, lots of food. Food comes out relatively fast and is a little more on the pricey side.

    I'm sorry that I have to revise my original review. Instead of 2 stars, I'm changing it to 1…read more The reason is not only my original experience but also the owner's response. Rather than acknowledging my concerns, they chose to argue with my experience and made factual claims that are inaccurate. The reply also reads like a generic AI generated response instead of a genuine attempt to address customer feedback. First, there is no such thing as a "gaucho torta". In Argentine spanish, the word torta refers to a sweet cake. A savory sandwich is not called a torta, so this is clearly a creative invention rather than an Argentine dish. Second, my review was specifically about these kinds of "creative" reinterpretations, not about traditional cuisines. I have traveled extensively throughout Argentina, as well as other countries in Latin America and Europe, and I appreciate that every restaurant is free to innovate. However, when you choose to reinterpret a traditional cuisine, you should also expect that some customers will appreciate those changes while others will not. Both perspectives are valid. Regarding the chimichurri, traditional Argentine recipes have historically relied on neutral oils such as sunflower or corn oil, although recipes vary by region and household. Presenting your version as the definitive authentic one while dismissing a customer's perspective is misleading. The disappointing part was not the food itself but the response. Instead of engaging respectfully with a customer who offered thoughtful criticism, the owner chose to argue with my experience and present questionable "facts" as if they settled the matter. Constructive criticism is an opportunity to improve, not something to dismiss. Here is my original review, my apologies for the confusion on the "bowl": There is plenty of steak, but the bowl is styled to appear fuller than it is, with an excessive amount of greens doing the visual heavy lifting. The steak itself is buried under butter and a heavy white sauce that mutes rather than complements the beef. The large, roughly cut potatoes aspire to a rustic aesthetic but read as inexpensive filler. Most confusing is the lack of culinary identity, the dish isn't recognizably Mexican, Italian, or particularly refined. It mistakes richness for sophistication

    The short: everything about the experience brought me joy. The food was well seasoned. The space is…read morebeautiful. The prices were fair. And the staff were delightful. The long: steak culture is incredibly mundane and steakhouses themselves often overcommit and underdeliver. Vue has cracked the code bringing flavor to steak houses. They go beyond the traditional salt and pepper approach and introduce Mexican and Hmong flavors in their dishes. If haven't had the honor of dining in a home from either culture, you're in for a treat. I personally like their New York strip Their family love can be felt in the decor, the interactions, the attention to the customers and the food. For me these were flavors and the culture of care I grew up with. So I'm exited for their success, mark my words they will be the best steakhouse in Washington in the next 2 years. They're working with something special here.
