The food is incredible and the flavors are always on point. If you've got a serious appetite, order the wet asada burrito -- it's absolutely loaded and ridiculously good. I liked it so much I had it every day for two weeks straight. No regrets. Honestly though, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

If you enjoy fried, flavorful food and generous portions, this is definitely your kind of place…read more The setting is casual with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the service was fast and efficient. I ordered the calamari tacos, and the portion was huge. The plate came loaded -- tacos with melted cheese, a fresh salad, and a side of unique "spaghetti-style" fries. The calamari itself was lightly breaded and very tasty, and I really enjoyed the salad (super fresh and flavorful). The fries weren't my favorite, though, and overall the portion was so big that I ended up leaving quite a bit -- which felt a bit wasteful. My husband had the Alaskan cod tacos, and I actually loved that they were not breaded -- that's my personal preference. The fish tasted fresh, light, and really well prepared. Our daughter ordered the kids chicken taco, and honestly, it was excellent -- loaded with chicken, very flavorful, and clearly made fresh. We also tried the tres leches cake. The slice was large but for me it was a bit too sweet, especially with the caramel on top and the thick whipped cream layer. I know there are many variations of tres leches, and this one just wasn't my favorite. We also had a crab cake -- fried on the outside, soft and delicious inside. Overall, a solid spot with big portions, fast service, and lots of flavor. Just come hungry!

We've have owned a home in the area for many years but never stopped at Chapala, so we decided to…read morestop for lunch one day. It was a pleasant surprise! Here's what we noticed: - The inside is pretty nice, lighter inside than you would expect from looking at it on the outside because of the skylights. The paint inside is a little tired and there's some cobwebs, etc. around but it still had a nice atmosphere. The chairs and tables are a bit tired, but ok. - The menu is pretty broad, and the prices seemed pretty reasonable. - My wife and I decided to split two different meals, the Al Pastor Burrito (which was served with a small salad) and the combo plate of Sofa and Chili Relleno. The portions on both dishes were really good, such that we took half the burrito home for later. The food was very tasty! - Service was just fine, although it was a pretty quiet time at lunch on a Thursday. Bottom line: This is a solid Mexican place, better than some in the area. We'll come back again, maybe to get take-out next time.

Was looking for taco places near SLO and came across this one on Yelp. My dad really likes buche so…read morethankfully this place had it. This restaurant is quite small but they have a small lot and plenty of street parking. When we walked in, you need to order at the counter first and then find a place to sit. There was a salsa bar where you can choose your own. There was a lot of salsa options to choose from and it was definitely spicy. My family and I opted for their burritos and I got their crispy tacos. 1. Burritos (asada, pollo, and buche): 7/10 Burritos were filling - it came with rice, beans, onions, and the meat itself. However we all agreed that it tasted mainly of beans and rice, but very little meat which was disappointing. 2. Crispy tacos: 4/10 This was meh - the tacos were crispy but super small and very little meat per taco (was less than a teaspoon in all honesty). Definitely wouldn't recommend and I should have stuck with trying their soft-shelled tacos. Overall, it was a nice place to stop by, eat some Mexican food, and the price was decent.

Hubby was craving menudo. He found this on Yelp and decided to try it…read more Arrived Mother's Day morning and the place was nearly empty, but we arrived kind of early because people started to pour in shortly after we arrived. He ordered menudo with the pigs foot and I ordered the chilequilles(?). Mine was yummy, yummy. Hubby thought the Bowl of menudo would've been larger though. He didn't want to add more than chili flakes and a little cilantro & onions because he didn't want to mask the flavor of the broth. It was delicious! And quite surprisingly filled him up with the amount of the serving. We will visit again the next time we're in the area.

Sometimes they get my order right, sometimes they forget the corn tortillas. I called, I'm working from home but I wanted my fix of menudo. I get there and no one is there. Apparently there is only one staff member working the lunch shift on a quiet Saturday at 1 pm on May 9th. Another woman was ahead of me but got tired of waiting and left. I waited patiently because I like their menudo, but only to find out that even though he confirmed Menudo on the phone he not heard soup. The person in the kitchen misgendered me and not having my order ready. This not a great local place and not LGTBQ friendly. And neither employee bothered to apologize. I do not recommend! You lost not just my business but my friends as well.

We…read moreordered the clam chowder and the avocado shrimp Caesar salad, and both were genuinely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want after a day outside. What really made it stand out was how easy the whole experience was. We called in the order ahead of time, walked over from the state park, and everything was ready for pickup without any hassle. Super efficient and perfect for a camping trip setup when you don't want to deal with a long wait or sit-down meal. The hostess was also incredibly friendly, which made the whole interaction feel welcoming from the start. Big bonus that they're dog friendly too--always appreciated when traveling with a pup. After grabbing food, we explored the nearby trails around the bay, which honestly made the whole experience even better. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Morro Bay.

Went here on a Wednesday night after a fabulous wine tasting nearby and almost left because we…read moredidn't want fried food. We chose the Galley because we wanted steamed clams and were delighted by the choice. For a local place it was hopping! On a Wednesday. When we got there at 6pm there was a 30 minute wait. Luckily a spot at the cozy bar opened and we pounced. The bartender took our order shortly after we sat down and we didn't waste any time ordering clams. They came out quickly and were steeped in the most delicious broth, which we slopped up with soft pieces of bread. Will come back for these for sure. We were still a bit peckish so we ordered crab cakes. They were ok but we wouldn't order them again, had they been hotter may have made a difference. Next time maybe we'll get a window seat to be able to enjoy the view as well as the sumptious dinner.

It was red without being too overpowering with the tomato! The crème brûlée was also not too sweet and amazing! -1 star for the guy that was the hostess. He took my number down and said he would call in about an hour when to come back. I purposely made my phone super loud so i would hear the call when the table was going to be ready. More than an hour passed so we walked back to check our place in line. He tried to say that he called 20 min ago but he said couldn't remember why it didn't go through and couldn't even come up with an excuse lol. I rechecked the number he wrote down which was correct. I had my partner call me and she had no problem. He promised us the next available seat. Another party after us literally went through the same thing as us where he claimed that he called but I'm sure he didn't. We got seated right away after so I'm glad we came back to check! Our server (i forgot her name but she had blonde hair) made up for it since she was super delightful! Aside from that i was looking for her to tell her it was my partners birthday but i only saw him. I asked if he could tell my server for me and he said yeah! They can put a candle on the dessert we order. He asked me what dessert but i didn't know what the options were yet so he said he would just tell my server anyway and we can pick. Lo and behold, no candle lol. That guy sucks
