    Caldo de Camaron
    Melissa B.

    I usually come here during my work lunch and the food and drinks are solid, but today was a big letdown. I was craving caldo for the first time here, and honestly it looked like it was thrown together in a rush. The broth wasn't strained at all and came out way too thick and lumpy not what I expected at all. Super disappointing experience.

    Hands down Chápala has the best torta! Very fresh from the bread to the ingredients and the asada just full of flavor. The beautiful waitress greeted me and sit me down she was nice. My order was done quick, clean and authentic restaurant. I recommend Chapala for all their food.

    Tacos dorados topped with carnitas, cabbage, pickled onions, & sauce. I got one with beans & one with requeson.

    I had a craving for a torta ahogada since having it at a different place in LA. This place did not disappoint! The bread was perfect to soak in all that tasty tomato sauce! I got it with the carnitas and it was very flavorful. I also got two tacos dorados de barbacoa and they were flavorful as well. Everything is made fresh and so yummy. My husband had an enchilada plate with carne asada and enjoyed every bite. He said he wants to come back. The customer service is on point too! The waitresses are very polite and friendly.

    Carne en su jugo

    Third time at Tortas Ahogadas Chapala and it has never disappointed! The carne en su jugo is delicious, the red menudo and pozole are the best, and the tacos dorados are extra tasty. Highly recommend.

    Great service ! Clean restaurant. The food was delicious salsas have lots of flavor to it !! My friend got shrimp tacos which she enjoyed as well Agua frescas are on point as well. I definitely recommend this place ! Will be going back to try different entrees on the menu !

    First time trying this place out for lunch and it was great. Upon entry a worker will ask if you're picking up or dining in, then you can seat yourself to any available table or seat at the bar. The restaurant was very clean, tables were cleaned, and all tables had hand sanitizer which I really appreciated. Waitress then will bring chips and salsa, chips were well salted and salsa was fresh and very tasty. I ordered a Carne Asada Torta and it was just great, the flavoring and the way they toasted the bread was perfect. My fiancé ordered a michelada, 2 buche tacos and a carne asada quesadilla, he said it was very good and that the meat was well flavored. We will definitely come back again for lunch.

    Skip the tortas and go with their burritos mojados de tripa en salsa verde have never had anything like this before and they are D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!! As for drinks their cantaritos are amazing if you're looking to have a cocktail but if not their horchata is to die for!! We had a party of 11 and we were served quickly and our food came out nice and hot. The place is comfortable and tables are clean. Service was excellent! Can't wait to go back

    Horchata and coke & another plate of the hard tacos topped with carnitas in the back

    What an amazing gem we found extremely fast service. ‍ The chips and salsa came out right away!The waitress was extremely attentive. , and even though the place is named after their famous tortas ahogados, my culinary intuition told me to go for the tacos Dorados topped with Carnitas and the same sauce they use for the tortas, I got one cheese and one potato. they were amazing. I will be back. everything was affordable and they had a little lunch rush. I'm so glad I came here. What a great place. Don't miss it. Nice atmosphere as well, music playing but not too loud and had plenty of seating. They did stay busy tho. And i can see why now.

    nachos with half chicharrones and half carnitas.  YUM!

    I love finding a legit mom-and-pop spot, and this family-owned Mayan & Yucatecan restaurant did NOT…read moredisappoint. Nothing fancy--and honestly, that's the charm. Just friendly service and seriously good, freshly made food. I ordered a combo to try a few things outside my usual comfort zone: panucho, salbute, and their style of empanada. Everything was delicious, and even my to-go order was plated beautifully. The chicken was juicy and packed with flavor, but that hot sauce? BABY, I was not prepared. Consider yourself warned! Love supporting a local family-owned gem like this. I'll be back in no time!

    Long review but I think it's important to say what needs to be said:…read more THE SHORT VERSION; First time visiting this place since reviews were generally good and it's truly something special to see a restaurant specializing in Yucatecan food only. The food was different than your standard Mexican offering and overall very good, good seasoning and portions. Pricing was not out of what would be expected for quality Mexican food. The service, unfortunately, was half baked, which is really sad for me to see as a staunch supporter of local, immigrant owned businesses and being a child of immigrants myself and knowing how much hard work is involved in maintaining a business alive. THE LONGER VERSION; It was apparent that the waitress that served us during our visit could not only benefit from more training in offering (and caring to offer) a better customer service experience / better table side communication but also needs to make the connection about how her actions affect the livelihood of a business that others have undoubtedly worked very hard for. But, I guess this assumes she wants to genuinely work there. To begin with, my party was greeted by a poorly delivered and off putting joke about making sure she served us lots of alcohol; delivered in a way that in Spanish is known as "ser llevado" or overly familiar. Odd to make jokes like that when you just met someone visiting your business for the first time, but we passed it off as just a poor attempt to connect. Fine, we moved on. The music was extremely loud. When we asked if it could be lowered somewhat, she lowered the volume from an 11 to a 2, which then made the ask not only awkward but almost passive aggressive. (I only say this because once we left, we heard the volume quickly go back to 11, as if they were just waiting for us to leave to crank the volume back up again). The waitress did explain the dishes well, letting us know what the unique ones were. However, in the middle of our conversation a guy walked through the door and it was obvious that there's a connection between them because she then got more impatient explaining things to us as said guy moved to sit at a table towards the back of the restaurant. We completed our order, she served us and then kind of disappeared to wait on the other table, we thought. When she did happen to pass by our table again, I politely asked for additional plates and silverware, when she had a chance, to which she replied that I could pick them up myself from near the register area. Her response seemed out place since we were dining in and we were under the impression that she was our waitress, so I asked her again for silverware, not plastic utensils. Again, she told me that I could pick up plastic utensils myself from the register, pointing, "see they're right there" and walked away to the kitchen. We were still processing the exchange, a bit in disbelief, when she then appeared with requested silverware and additional plates but visibly annoyed and in some kind of hurry. It was really hard to focus on enjoying our meal after that. The waitress then made her way to the back table to sit next to, one could now only presume was her boyfriend, and we never saw her again. She never checked on us, asked if we needed anything, etc. Her priority was staying seated and chatting it up with that guy. Who did come to check on us was the owner, who seems to have cooked the meals and walked out of the kitchen to speak with us. He asked if we had enjoyed the food, if it was our first time there, talked about how he sourced his ingredients, shared some of the restaurant's history. Then he walked away to continue working. Unfortunately, we were forced to engage again with the waitress (who remained seated at the back table) and had to ask her across the restaurant where we should pay. Before she answered from her chair (didn't even get up to speak with us and was getting ready to yell back at us from her seat) the owner appeared at the register and told us we could pay with him. Unfortunately, the whole service experience did negatively color our desire to return to this place again. Giving more like 3.5 stars because the food was good but not enough to overlook the unpleasant service.

I like the efficiency of this location better. All of your food comes out at the same time. Your not sitting around with half of your order getting cold while waiting for the rest of your food. The gentleman who takes your order and prepares your food is very attentive and is able to remember everything in one go. If he's unsure he will ask. So, your orders are always correct and ready in a timely manner.

The chips & salsa were a solid 4/5--thin, crispy chips and a slightly smoky salsa with a nice kick. Beans were thick and creamy (4/5), rice was basic/ traditional (3.5/5). The chile relleno was a 2.5/5 for me. I love this dish, but they use panela cheese, which didn't have much flavor and didn't get that melty, gooey texture I prefer. The chicken enchilada with green sauce was definitely the winner--5/5! That sauce was SO flavorful and easily my favorite part of the meal. The pineapple agua fresca was also refreshing. Overall, 3.5/5. Not my favorite atmosphere or chile relleno, but I loved the enchilada and it's always nice finding a local spot to support.
