Tacos Chapala Manteca

Tried them out today and overall the food was great. I ordered 3 tacos—2 tripa and 1 al pastor. The tripa was excellent, super flavorful and cooked just right. The al pastor was okay, nothing too special. My son got 2 tacos (asada and chicken) and both were fire! We also tried the birria ramen, and that was extraordinary—definitely a highlight. On the flip side, the chorizo taco wasn’t great, kind of a miss. The flauta order was tasty though, no complaints there. I also really liked that they have a salsa bar with a nice variety. The guacamole salsa tasted like it was close to expiring, but all the other salsas were really good.

Great service and tasty food overall. The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was casual. The tacos had good fillings, but the tortillas had a strange taste that threw things off a bit. Everything’s served on paper plates with plastic utensils—clean, but feels wasteful for dine-in. Still, a solid spot for a casual meal.

Forgot to take a pic when the tacos came out bc everything was so good! Guacamole, fresh tortillas, and no wait! Perfect pit stop before getting back on the road.

First thing I noticed was the great service. The people were friendly. They quickly turned over the dirty tables. Which was important because there was a steady stream of people coming in. I had the chicken nacho which were good. Next time I will have the tacos. Not because the nachos were bad, but because watching other peoples food come out the tacos looked that good. My husband had the carne asada plate. I was so good I couldnt even get a photo before he started to devour it. We will definitely be back.

Wowwwww. Not sure what was best here because it was all amazing - the birria ramen was insane, as was their chili rellano, and keto taco all so insanely good. Great service too and very clean along with a fresh salsa bar. Si por favor.

Absolute best Mexican food in Manteca!! I haven’t found a better spot. Super clean facility too. The guys are extremely friendly and the music is always good. The pastor is off the chain!! I’ll never go anywhere else.

I had a craving for Mexican food. So I Decided to try this place I’ve never been there before. I ordered two Carne Asada tacos to try, I ordered my husband a Carne Asada burrito and we ordered a carne asada nacho to share. The tacos were good. But they were a little small for the price. The burrito was huge! But it was the price of a full meal, so kind of expected it to be huge. The downside was it had refried beans which I’m not a fan of prefer whole beans in my burrito as refried beans make it mushy. And then the nachos came with the nacho cheese sauce like you get on cheap nachos and to be honest it was kind of disgusting. I Didn’t finish the nachos not a fan.

Came in for lunch with a fairly large group. Food was great. Only issues we had is that 1) no napkins or salsa cups available unless you ask employee behind the counter. Seems kind of odd that not even napkins are out for customers to grab. 2) water is required by law to be free for customers but yet they said they are out of cups but can sell us a water bottle. That’s unacceptable. Free water is required to paying customers.
