Overview
This local Mexican restaurant is one of the best in town. Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center off of Hammer Lane this spot is always busy. The el pastor tacos and tortas are delicious! You can even stand to the side of the ordering line and peak over the counter and watch as they make your meal. Load up on all the different types of salsa at the salsa bar while you wait for your food to be ready and find a seat in the restaurant to enjoy your meal.

This is where my family and I choose to go when we’re craving tacos or a good plate of asada or birrdia. Chapala has never disappointed with the food they make, serving portions are great, plus they have a salsa/toppings bar that you can help yourself to. Been here many times and plan on going for years to come.
Had the burrito supreme ? Was good but the beans and rice lacked the flavor I was looking for and I got carne asada was good. Might order something different next time . Worth the price and size but I would ask them to grill the burrito because the cheese wasn't melted in the burrito.
How have I slept on Tacos Chapala for this long?! After Googling “Best Nachos in Stockton” and scrolling through the photos— I liked the look of the nachos at Tacos Chapala best. Since it was Sunday Football, I placed an order To Go over the phone. They do require you to pay in advance with a card for orders over $40, but I find that completely reasonable. We ordered Al Pastor Nachos, Carne Asada Nachos, Carne Asada Fries, 6 Al Pastor Tacos with Pineapple, and a small Ceviche cup. The cost was around $60, which is more than fair. When we went to pick them up, I was surprised at the size of the restaurant. It is big and there are plenty of tables to dine in! There is also a small seating area outside, which is cool. My favorite part of the restaurant has to be the huge fresh salsa bar. They have at least half a dozen different types of salsas— all of which I tried and loved. The white creamy salsa though? MMMmmm! Everything we ordered was delicious. We will definitely be coming back!
This was my first time trying their food and I must say the steak burrito was delicious. My sons had steak tacos and lil one wanted some Spanish rice. Service was great and they even had an outside patio with plenty space to enjoy your meal. Definitely going back to try the chile verde. It’s located in the rear of the parking lot across from Super Walmart. Lots of parking and seating as well. I just wish they sold tamales and they ran out of chile verde so I have to get there earlier.
I haven't been to Tacos Chapala in over 4 years since the last time I was in Stockton. I was in the mood for something really good so this place was right on the way home. I ordered their all meat burrito and boy, they did not disappoint! It was made fresh in front of you and everything was just on point. The next time I am back in Stockton, I will be going back to Tacos Chapala for not only their great service, but mainly for their awesome food!
