El Chapala III Mexican Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
We had the best experience here for dinner with our 5 month old son! Amazing service by Frances, so conscientious and hospitable and the food was excellent & delivered quickly as well as our drinks & any needs. The popular Molcajete was a knockout and we enjoyed their queso and chips very much as well. The place was poppin for a thursday night, very fun vibe with friends and families gathered at nearly every table. Thanks so much for treating us to a wonderful first night in Candler as we visit from out of state!
One of our favorite places to go to. Excellent food and service. Try the Texas Fajitas and Birria Tacos.
This restaurant is definitely one of our new favorites! Convenient to I-40, large portions and excellent price! The vegetarian options are many and we enjoyed the food very much! Wences is a very professional, thoughtful server. Thank-you so much!!
Great local Mexican restaurant with a very extensive menu. Friendly staff, great bar area, plenty of free parking, reasonable prices. I have been here many times & this time I had Enchiladas Rancheras. I was very impressed with the flavor & presentation. Staff are attentive but not overbearing. Another great dish is Molecajete.
What a great place. Our family had a fantastic time and we could not say enough about the quality of the staff. They were so kind to our kids and their menu had something on it for everyone. We enjoyed the tacos and they were happy to Mix types to our preference. Love supporting local businesses like this one and the staff here is among the best!
I have been coming to this place for more years than I can remember, one thing never changes and it’s how good the service is! No matter how packed you get seated almost immediately. The food is always delicious! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn’t been here already
The French fries with chorizo, meat, and cheese is a meal for 2 by itself. Seriously, you could order this and 2 teas and be out about 20. Folks are very nice and food arrived quickly. Don't overlook this place
Top notch service and yummy food! I placed an order for business catering. Everyone LOVED the food. I loved the amazing service - beyond the call of duty! These are very good people with a great product. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting again.
