I'd primarily done takeout here but a few months back I was able to enjoy a dinner outside on their patio with a friend and what a wonderful dinner it was! First off, we came on a Friday night so it was BANGIN', but we were able to put our name and number in and they told us the wait would be about 45 minutes and they'd text us when we were up next. Great! My friend and I were able to walk down Main Street a bit and browse in a few shops before heading back for our meal. We secured a lovely picnic table outside which was perfect for a breezy late summer evening. Now, when I say patio I really mean "part of the sidewalk adjacent to the parking spots on Main Street." but really this did not bother me. The place is festive inside and out, with fun beachy type decor inside and colorful banners and brightly painted picnic tables outside. Because I had previously only done takeout I had not enjoy any of their cocktails so this time I made sure to try one, particularly their Chapala Colada which was a pina colada served in a coconut. So delightful and perfect for creating some FOMO through photos. My meal, to no surprise based on my previous experience, was great. I went with the birra tacos and they were excellent. For dessert my friend and I split the tres leches cake and WOAH. What an unexpected fun presentation! It came on its very own colorful serving table (almost a mini version of our picnic table, haha) with a few little cupfulls of whipped cream on the side. A really memorable dish and recommended for a special occasion for sure. We weren't celebrating anything ourselves but there's nothing wrong with treating yourself to a lovely dinner, drinks, and desserts any old time of year! And Chapala is a great place to do either. read more
