Chapala Grill - Mexican restaurant in Bergenfield - 52 S Washington Ave, USA

I've always doubted about going into this restaurant because it always looks empty and closed. But today me and my bf decided to go in and boyyyyy, what a good decision! I ordered the chili (best one EVER!) and a trio combo. (One chimichanga, one flauta and one burrito) with refried beans and rice. I have to say this is the closest to a real Mexican food restaurant I've ever been to. The flavors are really good, the portions are generous and the ambience really nice and welcoming. There are 2 other Mexican places around but they don't even come close to the flavors. This is a great place and worth every penny. I'm definitely coming back again. Good attention, good food, good vibe. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Excellent and authentic Mexican food from Puebla. Very clean and wait staff lovely. The corn tamales with chicken were perfect! Black bean soup was very tasty and not salty. Enchilada with tomatillo sauce was very good. Portions are huge. The mole sauce which they gave me a sample was really good. Great refried beans too! Highly recommend. Will be back again.

I can tell you this there are definitely better places to spend your money on Mexican food. The place is definitely overpriced for what you get. Okay the food seems fresh but the portions are very small and the food just isn't really noteworthy or memorable... For what we paid I can honestly tell you we will never go back there.. This place has nothing special to offer!... When we saw the menu and the prices we thought we were going to have really excellent Mexican food. It is totally subpar for the pricing so are the portions....you'll definitely be disappointed if you know what fine Mexican food taste like.

Was excited to dine at Chapala Grill a couple of days back for dinner based on its rating, but the quality and taste of the food was disappointing. Specially the charbroiled pork chops were quite off the mark that I had to leave it back after a couple of bites. Service was okay but the items were a bit pricy. Good location. Best to read through all feedback and not just the overall rating before you decide to dine here.

Loved the authentic Mexican cuisine and the atmosphere! Appreciate the vegetarian choices offered in their menu.

This is what $40 gets you at this place. We ordered takeout and we were given a wait time of 2 hours (cinco de Mayo) which we were ok with. Picked up the food and the food was cold. These are the saddest looking tacos I’ve ever seen, they are just meat wrapped in a cheap thin tortilla. They also forgot to give us one of our sides. We tried calling them back but they refuse to answer the phone (or answering and hang up) because they are no longer taking orders today. We will never order from this place again. The quality of the food was below average. The rice and re-fried beans had no flavor. The tacos could’ve been better. You’re better off going to another Mexican place if you want quality food at a reasonable price

I came here with my friends and the food was delicious!! The staff was very nice and friendly and our orders were perfect. Definitely check this place out if you're in the neighborhood.

My kids love coming here. It’s a monthly stop for our family. Lots of vegetarian options. Jalapeños are the spiciest I’ve ever had. Maria & Jefferson continuously offer great service
