I would truly give this place 3.5 stars…read more I had pastor and asada tacos. Presentation was nice, meat was not dry but it also wasn't juicy. The flavor overall was enjoyable. Nothing I would drive back for, but something I wouldn't mind eating again if I had to. Asked for extra green salsa and didn't get any... it's looked like less than most photos I seen on here. My husband got a super burrito extra soured cream. No extra sour cream and burrito was pretty thin for a super. Again he enjoyed the flavor but nothing he said would be worth going out of his way for. They were busy and consistent order to almost 20/25 minutes to get.

This food was authentic. My husband, son and I came to eat the tacos. This is what they are known…read morefor. The service was good. They took our order and we were served promptly. We ordered 10 tacos de trompo (pastor), $3 each. The tacos (5/5) are served plain with a pineapple on top so you can put what you want on it at the salsa bar (5/5). They have a good variety at the salsa bar. The cucumbers were fresh and the salsas were flavorful. They recommended the guacamole salsa (green). For bevs we ordered the aqua fresca cucumber with lime (5/5). The ambience is that of a typical taco truck, just no tables for dining. It's located on a busy street with cars passing. We ate in the car and were tempted to order more tacos. We'll be back again!

The service is great! The employees there don't entirely follow back up with you, but they are super kind and will help when they can. I've always gotten the same thing every time and it's become such a comfort food (I'm Vietnamese).

The restaurant is quite cramped inside and very noisy. There were several TVs on, along with what…read moresounded like two different types of music--Spanish music behind me and older pop music on the other side of the restaurant. Our table was right next to a metal utility rack they were using to store menus and cleaning products. That's fine, but my head was close to a spray bottle and a bottle of Lysol, which wasn't ideal. They were very busy, so we had high hopes for great food. Unfortunately, many of the items were bland. The beans and rice were especially underwhelming, with very little flavor--you can tell from the picture that the rice is basically plain white rice. My flautas were crunchy with fresh toppings, but the meat lacked flavor. My meal came with a bowl of fideo, but it wasn't delivered before my meal like it was for other tables. In fact, I had to ask for it after our food arrived, which makes me think I wouldn't have received it otherwise. After we finished eating, it took about 15 minutes to get our check. The servers were clearly very busy, but it would have been nice to leave sooner. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back. The noise level was overwhelming, and the food was just okay. If I did return, I wouldn't order anything that comes with beans and rice.

The burrito only had 4 shrimp, and the fries also came with just 4 shrimp. For the price they charge, I expected a lot more. It's hard to justify paying that much when there are so few shrimp in each dish. I won't be coming back. I'd rather go to La Mesa, where the portions are much bigger, and almost every bite is packed with shrimp and meat

The in house sauce that they have is super tasty, I really like it that I always do end up getting it on the side as well. They have a lot of other options to order from. The inside seating is pretty but it's small. I'd recommend to try the asada fries and nachos!

Burrito was very dry and barely had any salsa in it, the loaded fries were okay but didn't really have a ton of flavor, and the torta also didn't have any spice to it. Asada itself was good, though. Interior looked like one of those whitewashed places that you see online, and the prices of the food reflected that. Good service, though, food came out quick.

Came through to Chapala and honestly... this spot did not disappoint…read more I ordered a couple tacos and everything was on point. The meat was super flavorful and cooked perfectly, with that nice char that just hits right. The toppings were fresh, especially the onion and cilantro combo--simple but done right. The sauces took it to another level too, each one bringing its own kick without overpowering the food. The taco with the crema and cheese was crazy good--rich, savory, and super satisfying. Loved the little extras on the side like the pickled veggies and jalapeños, which added a nice balance to everything. Also grabbed a drink and it was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, great flavors, solid portions, and a chill vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving some legit tacos

I looked at my receipt and saw that they charged me $1.00 for "water cup." I feel that is ridiculous!!! The burrito was outstanding though. Served hot and tasted like it was made with quality ingredients. The charging me $1.00 for a cup for water just really bugged me though. (Their restroom was also out of order)

It's a cute little spot with a walk-up window and a few benches outside to sit and eat, though there isn't any indoor seating. Since it was so hot out, we ordered a few asada tacos, a sope, and the asada fries to take home and share. The tacos were solid, and I really liked the mild green salsa. The sope was pretty good too. While the asada fries tasted good, they were just okay overall. They looked significantly skimpier than the photo they're using on one of the sandwich boards out front. The toppings were pretty sparse, but the flavor itself was good. Overall, it was a perfectly fine dinner. I don't know that we'll be back, but I'm glad we gave it a try.

They also weren't as nice looking as the photos on the sandwich boards they have out front. The sope was decent. I had high expectations for the asada fries but was a little disappointed when I opened the styrofoam container and the quantity of fries and asada toppings were less than expected. The asada fries were tasty though. I'd come back to order that. The prices seem cheap-ish and reasonable. There are a few long tables out front to eat, but most people seemed to get their food to go.
