By far the best taco truck around! I've had just about everything on the menu and I'm never disappointed. All flavorful and cooked to perfection! Even their chips and guacamole are bomb! I'm not sure what magic that truck and the employees are running off of, but they seem to have mastered the art of dishing out fantastic food, consistently, across the board. Which is what makes this place a true gem in culpeper. read more

Homely - usually for family-run restaurants, a very comfortable atmosphere Delicious Yummy Excellent Great service can lift average food, but great food can never make up for inept service. Great service can lift average food, but great food can never make up for inept service. read more

Love this place the food was amazing, super fast service and a really cool restaurant

GREAT food, super cheap. It's a food truck with a little courtyard of picnic tables. My teenage daughter enjoyed having a Coke in the old fashioned bottle. Worth the trip! read more

We were passing through Culpepper so I consulted my fellow Yelpers to see what might be good for lunch. Found the highly rated La Chiapaneca - my Yelpers are never wrong. Delicious Mexican served out of a food truck with lots of shady picnic tables to enjoy your lunch. We tried a cheese and bean puposa- a steal at $3, a quesadilla, some tacos, the white queso and guacamole. Everything was fresh and home made. The guacamole had a nice lemon or lime tang to it. I am a queso fan, this was some of the best I've had and was only $1. We absolutely loved it and will be back! read more

So I'd been looking forward to trying this place out due to word of mouth but I was a little disappointed. It was not bad but it was also, for me not up to the hype I'd received. The biggest problem? Seasoning...it tasted like the meat, with the exception of the carnitas, didn't taste like anything. The nachos: the spicy jalapeños on the cheese overpowered everything else...I wish it had pico instead of tomatoes just to brighten it. It was just ok. I wish I'd gotten sour cream. The tacos: , carnitas, al pastor: the shell clearly homemade, not bad but falling apart. Again not bad but missing seasonings. Pupusa: bean/cheese, pork/cheese, cheese, the masa was perfect composition and tasty. Again the seasoning are lacking for our taste. I don't know if I'd travel to go back but if you are in the area check them out and make your own assessment. We want to encourage folks to support family owned local businesses. read more

This is my favorite place to get burritos. Their langua is amazing so good they know what they are doing. Probably my favorite place to eat in Culpeper read more

Culpeper has really been surprising me lately with the awesome Mexican food. This was my first time at La Chiapaneca, which is a food truck but they do have seating outside. You can't sit at the tables right now because of everything going on with COVID-19 but once that is over I'm sure they'll allow seating again. They have the typical Mexican food truck menu like tacos, tortas, etc. but I was happy to see pupusas on there which is a Salvadoran dish. We ordered carne asada tacos, a pupusa, and there steak fries. Everything was so good! My favorite thing were the fries. The meat and cheese on the fries was just so flavorful. I will definitely be back for those. Now the reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because the tortilla for the tacos were not cooked all the way through. The tacos were good don't get me wrong, the meat was really well seasoned but the tortilla could have been left on the griddle a bit longer. It wasn't raw but definitely needed a bit more heat. They would have for sure gotten 5 stars if the tortillas were cooked longer. Overall I think this food truck has great food and I definitely recommend it. read more

Amazing authentic tacos!!!! We love this olace and frequent often. So good I was bold enough to try the beef tongue. It was delicious!!!

I love food truck. I have never been disappointed with anything that I have ordered. The chorizo burrito is by far my favorite burrito that I've had the pleasure to consume in recent memory. It is HUGE and delicious. Eating outside enjoying a good meal is a great way to enjoy a nice summer day. read more

These tacos are UHHH-MAZING!!! Get the barria style ones!!! You will not be disappointed!

I could eat their quesadillas all day, every day! I also tried the crunchy chicken tacos, which were really 4 taquitos, but dipped in their red and green sauce was totally amazing. The carne asada tacos were also outstanding. If this awesome food truck every turned into a full service restaurant someday, I wouldn't be surprised, but the food truck charm I hope is here to stay for the long haul! read more

I tried their steak tacos and pupusas. The tacos are not authentic Mexican- the tortilla is way too thick and would break as soon as I would pick up my taco to eat. The steak was cut into almost inch size cubes- which is not how taco meat is prepared. The Salvadoran food, pupusa, was better, had good taste. read more

Cute outdoor place. Great birria tacos and messy, but delicious nachos! We'll definitely be back.

Charming setting with delicious food. Carnitas street tacos were perfect. Flavorful, authentic and not greasy at all. The sauces provided are delicious. My husband's beef burrito was enormous and very tasty. Food was prepared quickly. read more

Best tasting south american, latin food in culpeper. Service was quick and courtious.

I went there today and the lady was coughing in the back and I ask the guy taking the order if she is ok with the current pandemic. He said the pandemic is a hoax and he does not wear a mask and has never worn a mask and he has never been sick. Well, I watch them make my food, but I will NEVER go back again!!! I use to go there at least once a week and the quality of food has gone down also. The beef and pork has been fatty and with the carelessness on safety around food. I would rate it less than one if I could. read more

The carne asada tacos here are the best carne asada tacos I've had. Simply amazing, especially with the green sauce.

Great food. Being a Mexican from California I have been looking for a good Taco truck. This by far has been the best truck so far. Flavor is great and reminds me of home. The 45 minute drive was worth it. read more

La Chiapaneca is amazing. For years, I've been looking for non-Americanized Central American food, and I found it in a food truck in Culpeper, VA. I love how they have a focused menu of familiar items, like tacos, gorditas, burritos, nachos, and more - not to mention the cheese fries that are ridiculously awesome. They offer a choice of chicken, beef, al pastor, & carnitas, all amazingly & authentically seasoned & prepared. Also noteworthy - their tortillas are homemade. I love the seating area they have set up outside of the food truck - it makes you feel like you're not in Culpeper anymore. Maybe it's the festive ambient lighting, or the welcoming atmosphere? You really have to go to experience it. If all continues as it has for La Chiapaneca's, they will need to expand before long. read more

La Chiapaneca - Mexican Near Me - Culpeper, Virginia

My boyfriend kept telling me how amazing this food truck is so I finally got a chance to try them out. We went a week ago and honestly I fell in love with their food. Boyfriend and I ordered 3 al pastor tacos 1 carne asada taco , al pastor nachos, and a cubana torta. Let's just say we couldn't walk after. Everything was SO fresh, SO good, and SO filling. Probably one of the best authentic Mexican food I have ever had!! I would definitely recommend this spot. read more

My torta was really good and so were the fries. They even had the Mexican Coke which I was happy about!!

This is seriously the best Mexican food in the area. Authentic. I love their sopas and chicken flautas. Their white queso and gauc are also amazing with some chips. The thing that I cannot get over is that is is fresh, really nice sized portions, and only $3-5 for most meals. I do not know how they are so cheap but between that and the food it keeps us coming back for more over and over. read more

Always consistently spot on food. Every item we tried is delicious. The lengua tacos are legit

I had the tacos and tried the gordita and the bean pupusa. All were tasty. Carne asada was better than the pollo but both are worth it. Corn tortillas were okay, but I wish they gave two per taco because they would fall apart quickly. Mexican Coke was delicious as well. read more

Was hyped when I saw the truck after I read the reviews....I will go back and try another item but the Torta con asada was mediocre at best - gristly, sorry guys. I will upgrade this if I need to. UPGRADED - Clearly I ordered the wrong thing prior.....this time it was chicken tacos and a chicken quesadilla. I'm for the south west and that means I've had a lot of real Latin food. This chicken is perfectly seasoned in a marinated with lime and garlic with plenty of cilantro on top....IT IS SO TASTY! Homemade corn tortillas and salsa verde, perfect! So Yes I am on board with all the other great reviews here. I am so glad I gave them another try :) But there goes my summer diet, lol. read more

Just like being home in Southern California. It's a wonderful food truck with fabulous food. Just grab some taco's (I recommend the chorizo), take a seat and you could very well be just off of the PCH. read more

Best food truck in Culpeper! Everything else pales in comparison to their Torte Cubano. Basically two meals worth of food and every bite is delicious. I try and stop whenever I'm in that part of town. I'll admit I haven't tried anything else (though my wife has and she enjoyed it all)...its Cuban Torte for me everytime! read more

Saw the good ratings so we decided to try it while we were in Culpeper. The ratings were right. We ordered various sopas, which were tasty. They're very filling, though! I ordered 3, thinking they were small for to the price, but was only able to eat one, though I sampled the meats from all 3. The Al pastor was quite flavorful, which is usually a good test for authenticity of the restaurant. Carne asada and chorizo are pretty standard and these were good. We also had some fried plantains with queso and sour cream. Yum! We'll definitely give this place another try next time we're in Culpeper. read more

best authentic food ever! it's very hard to find that in this area but they have nailed it! I'm Salvadorean but it still reminds of my abuelas cooking. Ive tried the tacos and gorditas and both were outstanding but i definitely need to go back and try the pupusas as well.. SO GOOD read more

Yummy yummy yummy! Went here with some gal pals. I ordered tacos and the bean and cheese Pupusas... tacos were meh I personally like the tacos over at the Black taco truck "vip taco" over on route 3 better. But OH MY GOSH. The pupusas were BOMB!!!! Great environment definitely worth the trip! read more

La Chiapaneca - Carnitas tacos and bean and cheese pupusas.. get the pupusa so delish!! - Mexican Near Me - Culpeper, Virginia

Went there for the first time the other day! Oh my! So much more than I expected. Food was amazing! Price was great! People were kind! We are hooked all I think about is their steak nachos. Food is amazing! read more

First time going and the food was absolutely wonderful. Had a chicken torta and was extremely pleased, will definitely be going again

I love it! They have the best nachos ever! Also the fries and torta are super good! Super good prices!

Excellent food, nice selection, hearty portions and a friendly staff. A really nice addition to Culpeper fast food. Great fries!

I, like many people is scared to try new restaurants. So after going through the reviews here I had my hopes held high but unsure. I ordered a carne asada torta and a pollo sopas. My husband also ordered a carne asada torta, and my cousin ordered 3 of their pupusas; cheese, pork and cheese and bean. The tortas come with seasoned battered fries which were pretty good. Tortas were delish!! Pupusas were also very filling, they definitely aren't stingy with portions. Nachos were okay. Probably wouldn't get them again. There is a little bit of a wait as your food is cooked to order. But they have a few nice picnic tables to eat or wait at. They also have a second food truck to order frescas or fruit cups. And they have Mexican Coca Cola in glass bottles and Jarritos. Parking is basically wherever you can find somewhere, it's mostly gravel. Definitely will be back to try the tacos and burritos. read more
