We just moved to Cambridge, after living in the cities for years. The food at this restaurant is amazing, and at the top of our list for authentic Mexican restaurants we’ve been to. We had the chips and salsa/cheese dip, Chipotle burrito, and chicken chimichanga. The service was top notch as well. Our server (I’m bummer we didn’t get his name), was very attentive. We just found our new favorite place and will for sure be back!

We tried it out a couple of times a few years back and felt it wasn't great, but we were very impressed when we came in to give them another try. The food and service were outstanding. Their menu and food quality has improved significantly and everyone at our table really enjoyed what they ordered. Service was very friendly. We will definitely come back again!

We stopped in on a whim. Personnel were very pleasant, friendly, and service oriented. The facility was clean, but our booth had rips in the seating. Updates are needed. The menu featured a large selection, and our server assisted us in our decision making. Our food arrived to us incredibly fast, and the food was hot (heat). Very impressive. Plus, the proportions were more than adequate, and pricing was acceptable. I would eat here again and recommend Chapala Mexican Grill to all.

We haven't been here in a while and I'm sorry we haven't. We had such a good lunch. And with the amount of food that you get, lunch the next day as well! I had the seafood enchiladas with the queso sauce. Another guest had a beef taco salad and the other guest had chicken taquitos. All of our meals were hot, very flavorful and well worth the price we paid. Be careful if you ask for a large beer, It is large! The staff is always extremely friendly and willing to make you happy. Unfortunately I did not take pictures of our food. I'll have to do that next time!

Service was excellent. I asked for the fries to be crispy and they were exactly the way I wanted them. Steak was tender.
