Bianca RodriguezJune 1, 2015Can't go wrong with anything you order here. Enchiladas and puffy tacos are amazing! Staff is very welcoming and genuine😊
Brad CoolishFebruary 12, 2014Cool Mexican style hacienda and hot Mexican food. A good combination and popular place for a family dinner or for meeting friends over a sassy margarita or threee from their little bar.
Carolyn McGintyJuly 21, 2012We have been coming to El Chaparrel since the 80's! Great Mexican food! Love it! Everything is good!
- KC MitchJune 10, 2016Great choice for mexican food. Slow service for larger groups. Beans and rice are great. Valerie spec is awesome but so is everything else
Stephen BerryOctober 21, 2017Food is excellent, as always! Their is a reason I’ve been coming here for over 20+ years!!!
Colton GriffinSeptember 18, 2012I've eaten at over 30 Mexican places in just the past year and this food is the best I've had. Amazing!
The food is great. Service is SLOW busy or not. Order your drinks BEFORE you get sit or your drinks will come midway the meal. 3x this month. They have too many hosts not checking on customers..
Mike FurtadoApril 22, 2011If you're hungry don't order the fish tacos. You get two and they're tiny. Considering I had them on Good Friday I suppose its all good. Everything thing else is great.- Megan MillerMarch 9, 2014Chicken enchiladas with cilantro cream are a favorite. If you like spicy get jalapeño cream.
kyria redingAugust 11, 2012Get the chilaquiles for breakfast. And the Valerie's special for lunch/dinner. Best chips and salsa around.- Great family owned restaurant, it's all good here! Love the bean soup as a starter!
Shrimp enchiladas & strawberry margaritas!! You're welcome;)
Becky Jackson-RabelJuly 26, 2010Husband always gets the longhorn. I like the shrimp fajitas on corn. Personal plate is enough for two ladies or one hungry dude.
- Mo CruzJune 2, 2017No reservations on weekends!!! They just lost my business and a party of 10 people! ☹️👎🏻
- This could very well be the best Mexican food in SA. Makes me feel at home.
David MaresDecember 21, 2015Went for the Fideo which was COLD. Horrible first experience our server was incredible slow even charged us 1.00 each for extra tomatoes and shredded cheese for my 1 year old. Never again...
- Amber CordovaJanuary 22, 2011Try the Enchaladas Vegatales...they have sauté mushrooms in it and they are amazing!!!!
Ron JeramiahMay 25, 2018Food is garbage...queso is velveta and sucks, had the chimichanga...that sucked. Best part was the cold beer as that can’t be messed up. This is trash Mexican food. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
Joshua VargasSeptember 3, 2012Expect to wait over 30 mins for your food. We just ordered appetizers.
Armando AlcalaApril 11, 2010The bean soup is awesome here. Steak ranchero here is atm!!! (A toda mama)
