Chapala

Reviewed By BruceWGSO

We were traveling through and searching for a unique dining experience. Chapala exceeded our expectations. Our server was quick to bring waters to our table, refill as needed, brief us on their offerings and was at our beckon throughout our marvelous meal extravaganza. We sampled a number of dishes—all exceptional. See pics. Servings were ample, tasty and transported us to utter fulfillment. We had plenty of leftovers to savor anew the next day. This is an amazing find for weary travelers—so convenient for an efficient pull off. Road warriors will appreciate the almost seamlessly return to getting back on the highway. We could not be mire pleased with our Chapala experience.

I walked into the restaurant, thinking maybe I had chosen a bad time, as it was mostly empty. However, that feeling passed when I got my order - the chorizo burrito....YUM! Filled with home-made beans, lots of cheese, rice, and plenty of sauces for sides. Add to that their signature Margarita, and the meal was complete - no doggie bag needed! On the list of favorite places to eat.

Carlos O'Kelly's Mexican Cafe

Reviewed By Olaf H

Interesting menu in an eclectic surrounding.If you like your Mexican dishes on the mild side and the atmosphere a little bit on the loud side with a bar in the middle than you're in the right place. Good for larger crowds as well as families with little children. The food is decent , service good and prices reasonable.
