Taqueria Chapala — Restaurant in Brentwood

First time here! Place is fairly new, it’s all clean inside the dining area, restrooms and super cute inside but the food does not taste authentic. My husband ordered a super asada burrito to be safe, the carne asada meat was thick and chewy. My daughter ordered a Pozole and myself a Menudo, both were very disappointing. The pozole didn’t taste like pozole, the broth was super thick and even though I asked for little meat they added huge pieces of meat, it didn’t seem to be fresh, like it had been boiled too many times because some of the meat was shredded from being overheated. The menudo, I had asked if it came with grano, the server said it does not but they can add it if I’d like, which I did but when I got my order they forgot to add it in, the girl was really attentive she went back to let them know that it was missing and she came back with a small little salsa bowl that had grano and some pieces of meat that looked like they scooped out of the pozole pot, I can tell cause the meat is obviously different and the side grano came with pieces of shredded meat. Both soup bowls were left almost full, we couldn’t finish or enjoy it. This part is a little personal but we’ve been having a stomachache since we left, food did not sit well. Though service was great and the place was cute the only thing that we really enjoyed was the Horchata, that drink was delicious but the food quality was...

I ordered two burritos and three orders of flautas. The burritos were bland and tasteless. They unraveled as soon as they were unwrapped. Every single flautas was burned. No cheese on any of them either. Flavor wasn’t great.

There was nobody in line ahead of me or waiting for their order. There was one person in the restaurant who was sitting at a table waiting for his food, but it took about 30 minutes for my order to be prepared.

Here’s the best part; I saw one of the women working there doing some sweeping. I looked over and saw that she was sweeping up dozens of gigantic rat droppings!

Needless to say, I won’t...

I’ve been a returning customer for a while now either dine in or take out. For dining in, I’ve received great customer service and recommendations. My favorite is the Chilaquiles and top it with some Asada. The coffee I believe has some cinnamon in it which actually tasted pretty good. For take out , I usually get tacos asada and or birria tacos . I’ve even ordered off their catering menu last year for Christmas. From what I remember, I ordered maybe two dozen tamales topped with mole sauce about two weeks in advanced . My whole family enjoyed the tamales. I highly...
