Chapala Mexican Restaurant in Princeton — Restaurant in Princeton

This place was abysmal. The only reason I didn't bother sending my dish back or contesting my bill was because I was exhausted from a business trip. It was so loud, it was difficult talking to the servers. The service was incredibly slow, in spite of being well staffed. The chips weren't cooked fresh. The salsa was pedestrian. One of the servers insisted I choose guacamole or cheese for my chips. I told him flat out that I didn't want to pay extra for a dip when I already had salsa. He assured me that they came with my chips, yet after I got home and checked my bill, there was a $5 charge for the guacamole. The rancid taste of the guacamole reminded me of plain avocado blended with mayo without any spice, flavor or lemon juice whatsoever. It was so bad, I didn't bother taking the leftovers home, in spite of me loving guacamole. The tostadas for my ceviche were stale, and one of the servers informed me that they ran out of avocados after serving the dish. The ceviche itself was passable, but mostly onions floating in lemon juice. I had 3-4 servers, yet they were all slow and seemed indifferent. I only had my water filled once. The flan was the only decent thing they offered.

Not worth the $38 I spent on this...

Our first time here, & it was great. A big menu with lots of delicious choices. My food was a little under seasoned for a Carne asada, but I added the shrimp & a little table salt. It was great after that. My wife had the Toquitos, & loved them. I missed taking some pics cause I was to busy eating, but our dishes came out hot, & lookin delicious. I've said this time & time again about service & food. You can have decent food, & a wonderful server, & it makes the trip there so worth it. The food is better than decent here, & ya get a lot of it, but our server Isa was just amazing & so much fun! I told her as we were leaving, that she was the reason we would be back. Definitely worth the...

Never been to this location always went to Cambridge. Good service here. We normally get the fajitas for two but we got something different this time and I was disappointed. I ordered the seafood chimichanga and it was the worst one I've ever had. I've gotten this many times before at different places and never had one this bad. It was like eating a chimichanga filled with seafood soup. Tiny little pieces of shrimp and mostly fake crab and really runny. Honestly everything else I had here is really good just avoid seafood anything here! Also prices are on the high side. $18 for what I ordered was not worth it, $12 for queso that has chorizo in it... Two meals and an...
