    Birria Tacos
    Sean C.

    I'm a huge fan of local & non chain restaurants, so when we were looking for a place for dinner my kiddo popped Yelp open and found Taqueria Chapala just off the highway we were headed down. We took a chance and... boy did it pay off. The decor of the place is kind of a fun, old rustic farmhouse feel with a fun sense of humor. We split the mini tacos and birria tacos (because apparently it's the big thing for 2023-2024 and everyone has it.). On the mini tacos - The beef fajitas were delicious. The Al Pastor was good and flavorful. There was a mountain of grilled onions and 2 jalapeños. Perfect for 2 to split. The birria was tasty as well. For those not in the know, birria is like a shredded pot-roast marinated in adobo and put in a pan-fried corn tortilla with delicious Oaxacan cheese. Served with a dipping "soup" on the side. The service was good. The food was good. The price was decent. About $30 out the door including tip.

    This Chapala used to be located on South Congress and was a regular dinner spot for my family. They are right off the highway now, a little bit bigger dining room. If you have cash bring it as they add a percentage for card payments. They have a great ceviche. We also love their Barbacoa, and fajitas. They have great prices and any combination of tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas you can imagine. Service is quick and attentive. This is a good place for large groups and kiddos.

    Enchiladas  Beef fajitas

    Chimichanga and enchiladas were so good. Beef fajitas were okay. Def would come again

    Delicious!

    What a treasure! My husband and I made a random restroom stop and decided to grab some food to go. I chose the mini chicken street tacos. OH MY GOSH! They were absolutely delicious... complete with wrapped lime wedges. Definitely authentic Mexican food!

    Hidden away and get also right there on the side of the road. Stopped by this morning for a breakfast taco (beans and cheese), a non-breakfast taco (lengua), and a small menudo (with hominy). The drive through was easy and surprisingly fast. They package everything really nicely for take out; no spilling of my menudo. Everything was very flavorful. The tripe in the menudo was probably the star - suuuper tender! Highly recommend.

    My review is only for breakfast tacos, because that's all I've ever ordered, but I tell you, this is THE place. My personal favorite is the potato and egg. The potatoes are big and chunky, the eggs are fluffy. I also recommend the bean and cheese. They've done large orders for me (3 dozen) to take to workplace breakfast, and everyone raved. Before 11am, you can get 2 ingredient tacos for $1.89 each. After 11am, it's $2.29. Call ahead and the drive through goes much faster.

    This is one of the best Mexican places in the area. You would never know; you can hardly see it driving by. The sign is faded, and it's a super run down building. But they have great food! I ordered a fajita meal for delivery. It was HUGE. It came with ALL the works. I just kept pulling more, and more, and more out of the bag. Fresh ingredients. The meal was full of flavor. I went back for some tacos with my son. They were also delicious. Definitely the best in the area. This is a hidden gem. (Hidden in plain site...it's right on 290). Check it out, you won't regret it.

    Perfect spot for late-night tacos!…read more The best part is that they have great vegetarian options, including both paneer and tofu tacos, and both are absolutely delicious. It's not always easy to find flavorful vegetarian tacos, so this place was a pleasant surprise. I loved it so much that I ended up visiting twice during my two-day trip to Austin. If you're in the city, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Some tables could use a cleaning in between guests, but it was fairly clean. You order your food at the counter and they call you when it is ready. I ordered the grilled steak taco, rotisserie chicken taco and special taco of the week (pork dumpling smash taco). We also ordered the elote and queso to share. The elote was good, but very creamy and a bit heavy. The queso was good but tbh I prefer Torchy's. The grilled steak taco was a bit underwhelming, I wanted it to have more flavor, it just tasted like beef and cheese. The chicken had good flavor and the special weekly taco was enjoyable and interesting, not like any taco I have had before. There is plenty of variety for people including those with dietary restrictions. My friends ordered two tacos each and I was full after 3 tacos so if you are not a big eater stick with two.

It was even fun to order with a menu representing Mexican Lotería cards. I tried the Grilled Fish Taco, Grilled Chicken Taco, and El Breakfast Taco. I think everything on the menu is excellent where I also got addicted to the Los Chips. I dined here so many times the staff remembered my name and almost my phone number which is used to send you a receipt and let you know your order is ready for pickup. The place has great character with indoor and outdoor seating and that this time became a World Cup viewing party. This place is also dog friendly inside too. Don't need to walk inside to order where can order from the street through a window like a food truck.

    I had so many food targets to hit in Austin and this one didn't make my priority list for lunch/…read moredinner but I ended up coming here for a breakfast taco and really liked it! It's a small chain in Austin that started from a food truck of two women from Veracruz. Interestingly enough, the cashew based queso here is the default so people with nut allergies- watch out! I was told it was not made in house by the restaurant and I ended up not trying it. I ended up getting the El Diferente taco, while the women at the counter recommended the Furioso. I chose it because I preferred pinto beans to black beans. I added thier salsas that were creamy and it was delish with poblanos in it. The tacos sounded really simple to me from the descriptions but I ended up really enjoying the one I had for breakfast! My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.
