Chapala Mexican Grill

It was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I must say, I had a delightful experience.
The food was absolutely phenomenal, and the seafood was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared.
Although it was nearing lunchtime and the restaurant was quite full, I can understand why the service was a bit rushed and brief.
Despite the lack of a distinctly Mexican ambiance, such as background music, the delectable food more than made up for it.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking this type of cuisine, and I will certainly be returning in the future.

We came right before closing order two orders of aguachiles $60 dollars for both and each plate had like 8 small shrimp ! Never again, super expensive and food was not great at all.
Just because it’s already closing time doesn’t mean they shouldn’t put a bit of effort on the food.
Won’t be coming back .

Owner response

Ordered for picked up. The Carne en su Jugo is 99.5% caldo and .5% carne.
It was more "su Jugo" than "carne" and I'm not exaggerating.
I was scavenging for meat and I hadn't even had my first bite.
It tastes overwhelmingly lemony ( I LOVE lemon so this is also not an exaggeration).
The little meat it had had zero flavor.
the bacon was scarce just like the beans and meat.
...
The picture is of the carne en su Jugo.
It's literally a few pieces of beans and meat.
Mind you we only ate literally 4 little pieces of meat before this picture.
It's literally 4 scoops worth of my plastic spoon.
That is absolutely ridiculous. The red enchiladas were ok.
The chicken was riddled with small bones. The green cheese enchiladas were again extremely lemony.
I think it's the same salsa used in the carne en su jugo. The Carne asada burrito is ok but the meat again had no flavor. The horchata is watered down.
Water with a hint of horchata. And the side of rice and beans you get with the enchiladas was so small.
It wasnt even a scoops worth. The quesadilla was good. We paid about $80 for all that and left half uneaten.
