    Al pastor tacos and cabeza tacos
    Amber N.

    Ordered pick up through the online website. Order said it would be ready by 1:57pm. Came in at 1:58pm. Store was empty and told the lady I was pick up. She looked at me like she had no idea about my order. She apologized and said it will be out very shortly. Ordered 2 al pastor tacos, 1 cabeza taco and 1 lengua taco. She told me that they didn't have lengua so she asked if I wanted to replace with another cabeza. I said that was okay. Gave me to go cups for salsa and limes. Tacos were good. I like the pineapple slice on my pastor tacos. I just expected them to have my order by then cuz I had to wait. And if I was the only order online wouldn't they see it? This place looks new. Only a few tables inside. Hopefully they do better.

    This is my favorite place to get tacos . I am basically here at least once a week. The price here is amazing and they don't skimp out. I am shocked it's never busy here. That's a plus for me because I get a place to eat at and the food comes out fast. This place is really small with a few tables available inside. They don't skimp out on meat. My favorite meat to get is the Al pastor and tripas. When I get carne asada fries it's soggy so I ask them to cook it crispy and it comes out delicious. My boyfriend likes carne asada but when I don't go with him I like to get al pastor in my nacho or fries . The chimichangas are so good they let you order half and half meat but they charge extra for tripas . There tripas meat is so crispy and flavorful. On certain days you can get 4 tacos for ten but it only includes al pastor , carne asada and I think chicken ? I forgot the third one. But the other day they gave my boyfriend and I each an extra taco for free also they added free guac for us that day. My favorite sauce is their orange sauce not sure what it is but it may be too spicy for some but worth that burning booty hole later. I wish this place gave us free chips on the side.

    I randomly craved tacos and decided to try this spot since it's nearby. I was not disappointed! The pineapple to the al pastor adds such a good flavor. I also got the asada and chicken, but I would stick to asada and al pastor next time! I also got carne asada fries and those weren't too bad. They do use cheese similar to nacho cheese. Service is great and the place is clean! I will definitely come back. The price is reasonable for a taco too.

    This place has such speedy service and an amazing salsa/condiment bar. The food is delishhh i loved their consume. Also, all the salsas were sooo good i tried a few different ones to just try out, all absolutely delicious. The only complaint i have is i thought i was going to get guacamole on my fries!! But other than that, amazing little spot for mexican food.

    I used to go to the Tacos Chapala in Stockton so when I found out they were opening a location in Sacramento, I had to go check it out. The staff are friendly and the place is brightly decorated. Pros: I typically get their burritos. My favorite is the California burrito. There's a decent salsa bar, they have a good variety of salsa of varying heat levels. Plenty of parking is available and located close to the freeway. I noticed they even offered birria ramen which is on my list to try. Cons: none

    Tacos Chapala is a great, new addition to the plaza across CRC. Originally from Stockton, Tacos Chapala has opened their storefront in Sacramento just recently! My partner and I were excited to try and this lived up to our expectations. We were greeted with warm smiles and welcomes immediately as we walked in. Employees were friendly and answered questions about the menu, even providing recommendations! There were a few tables for people to dine-in and a fully stocked and clean sauce bar. Card payments are accepted but bring cash if you want to tip. At the time we went, tip using card wasn't working. Food itself was delicious! We ordered 4 tacos, carne fries and horchata. They definitely do not skimp and everything tasted fresh! We are looking forward to our next visits and trying more.

    They have locations in Stockton and Manteca and now one here in Sacramento/Elk Grove by the Foods Co center. They had a soft opening recently and were offering $1 tacos so we decided to try them. We chose carne asada, lengua, cabeza and al pastor. Let me tell you, they do not skimp on the portions! Meats were all flavorful and they have a salsa/sauce bar too. Sautéed jalapeños and onions included. Got us a side order of rice and chips too. The restaurant is spacious, clean and modern. Service was top notch! Shoutout to Perla, Chuy and Ivonne, they were very nice and awesome. Go check them out!

    Tacos de al pastor
    Herminio T.

    Tacos Chapala showed up on my instagram recently, so I decided to give them a try. Their ribeye tacos and burrito are exquisite. And well worth the price of admission alone. Ther al pastor was flavorful, smokey and I loved the pineapple slice. I sampled several of their salsas, and enjoyed them. The price is just about right, and I could see myself becoming a regular here. I think they're still working everything out as I only observed two people running the place on a Saturday night. An extra pair of hands or two could help speed up the wait times. Indoor seating was limited but there was plenty of seating outside in the patio and side of the building. The music was good.

    BURRITO SUPREME, ASADA FRIES, QUESATACO
    Alexis B.

    Love the Vibe, super clean and simple design, great musica and the service was exceptional. We got the ASADA Fries to share, and the carne was so good and not all fatty, made me wish I got there 4 tacos for $10, I did get the QUESOTACOS, which are birria with melted cheese cilantro onions and with consommé to dip them in of course, they were filled with so much juicy meat, I've never had a birria taco this big before again good cut of meat. my husband loves lengua Burrito and he hasn't been this happy about a burrito. Salsa bar was on point! Overall 5 stars! Must try!

    Monica T.

    They ran out of carne asada on a Friday night :( but the al pastor was pretty good. Upcharge for chips but well worth it. Their salsa variety is great. I would come again to try the asada.

    I'm always searching for new birria spots, and this place appeared as a "hot and new restaurant." I called in an order for three tacos (carne asada, lengua, and cabeza), two Quesabirria Tacos, and Birria Ramen, and everything was ready within 15 minutes. The restaurant is clean and has a nice salsa bar. The food was all delicious, especially the birria, and they provided excellent customer service. We'll be returning soon!

    Food was delicious and service was excellent. I found my new favorite spot .this is my first time and I only tried the taco's , I had one of each ( tripas, asada , el pastor and the birria ) once I tasted the tripas I knew I'm going to like their food . The burritos are huge , that's how the other places use to serve it back 2 years ago . Now that I know where taco Chapala is that's where I'll be going I'd like to try everything in the menu .

    Tacos Chapala is a new taqueria near CRC and has only been open about a month. I stopped in and tried the carne asada, pollo, birria, and al pastor tacos. The tacos were delicious, flavorful, and packed with meat. They have a salsa bar with many options to choose from. (The green guacamole salsa was the spiciest in my opinion). Service was friendly and attentive. There is plenty of seating inside and outside in their patio. I only wish they had refried beans, chips with their salsa bar, and a fountain drink dispenser. Tacos are worth your money so stop in and give it a try. Note: this place is located right beside the EZ Jewelry store. The Yelp directions seem to take you to the wrong spot in the plaza.

Each taco had a generous amount of meat, was well-prepared, and tasted fresh. The real game changer, though, was adding the jalapeño cream sauce along with a few salsas from the salsa bar which took the tacos to another level. If I could, I'd give this place 6 stars just for that! Also, I'd recommend the cucumber lime agua fresca drink. It tasted refreshing and the perfect amount of each flavor. Their menu has a great variety of options, and I noticed several people ordering the dinner plates, which looked absolutely massive. I also saw them bring out a sizzling hot skillet that I could hear from a few tables down. You definitely get your money's worth here. The service was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly fast. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the salsa bar was fresh, organized, and full of appetizing choices. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    We finally had time off again on a Sunday to come and enjoy thier yummy Sunday Brunch…read more Everything tasted amazing! Wish I could eat more I would of tried more dishes. Last time we were there I thought I was able to get just plain tortillas from the tortillas lady spot. But she looked confused then I asked for a few flour tortillas. She asked what meat I wanted to make street tacos. That's fine the pork tasted very good. But I like plain tortillas with the eggs and other dishes. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I guess next time we will ask the server. We started with the omelets this time. Very good and well made. We tried many things, hard to take pictures.

The portions have been cut in 1/2 for a lot of menu items here over the last 5 years namely the chimichangas but seems like everything else too. The chimichangas used to be twice the size they are now and were loaded with cheese. Now they have no cheese and 1/2 the filling so there mostly flour tortilla now. Very disappointing and the plates they use now are smaller, they used to serve the food on these huge platters. Anyway went there last night (1st time in 3 years) and this is the plate I got. The 2 chimichangas are now the same size as the tamale on the other side of the plate.The service was terrible too. We did not get our food until almost an hour and by the time the food showed up we were full from the chips and bean dip and salsa wich by the way we had to wave them down several times as we seemed invisible to refill the chips and our drinks. We wont be going back again for probably another 3 years. I highly recommend Felipe's in Citrus heights on Auburn blvd. Way better value and the food quality is on par with el tapatio but with five star service!

Unfortunately, the service was lacking during our visit. One of our meals was forgotten and we had to flag down the server to let him know. Our server also wasn't around very often, so it was difficult to get refills or ask for anything we needed. When we requested a specific number of to-go boxes, we weren't given enough and had to get up and ask for additional boxes ourselves. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but I took away 1 star for the lack of service. The service could definitely use some improvement, especially since it wasn't busy when we went. With more attentive service, this could have been a much better dining experience.

It's always been a busy place and sometimes hard to get into before a show, but the service was always great. This time we sat outside, which actually had a really nice view of the Golden 1 entrance. Our waiter was really nice and courteous, but it was pretty obvious he was doing the job of about three people. He did the best he could and stayed friendly the whole time, but when you're spread that thin it's hard to stay on top of drinks, food coming out, checking on tables, etc. We didn't really hold that against him because it seemed much more like a staffing issue than anything he was doing wrong. One of the things I've always liked about Polanco is their carafe of Palomas. We ordered one at the bar and then another at the table. When we got the bill, we noticed an extra charge for four cups. After looking at it again, we realized that after paying $48 for a carafe, you're also being charged for the cups you drink it out of. That is honestly one of the most ridiculous charges I've ever seen at a restaurant. I've always really liked this place, so it was disappointing. Being short staffed is one thing, but that's a management issue, not the waiter's fault. Charging people extra for cups after they just bought a $48 carafe of cocktails is just wild. This review does not refer to their food, ambiance, decor or staff. Unfortunately this has to do with under staffing (managing issue) and now charging for CUPS
