Everything is good! Friday nights are packed but the Mariachi music is fun!

Cool Mexican style hacienda and hot Mexican food . A good combination and popular place for a family dinner or for meeting friends over a sassy margarita or threee from their little bar .

Great choice for mexican food . Slow service for larger groups. Beans and rice are great. Valerie spec is awesome but so is everything else

We have been coming to El Chaparrel since the 80's! Great Mexican food ! Love it! Everything is good!

Ed Garcia

The food is great. Service is SLOW busy or not. Order your drinks BEFORE you get sit or your drinks will come midway the meal. 3x this month. They have too many hosts not checking on customers..

Stephen Berry

Food is excellent, as always! Their is a reason I’ve been coming here for over 20+ years!!!

Kevin M.

Carlos Special, Margarita on the Rocks, chips and salsa .

Chicken enchiladas with cilantro cream are a favorite. If you like spicy get jalapeño cream.

kyria reding

Get the chilaquiles for breakfast . And the Valerie 's special for lunch/dinner. Best chips and salsa around.

The enchiladas are great! The beer is always fresh and cold!

If you're hungry don't order the fish tacos . You get two and they're tiny. Considering I had them on Good Friday I suppose its all good. Everything thing else is great.
