Chapultepec Mexican Restaurant

First, let me say the food was phenomenal. I’m biased to a good hole in the wall & this one did not disappoint. Everyone spoke & was friendly as soon as we walked in. Our waitress was so kind & walked us through the menu while keeping our glasses full. None of us were super hungry, so we kept it simple and ordered street tacos with beans & rice. And y’all they cooked our food with love. The chips are homemade and crispy while the salsa is flavorful with a little kick at the end. For a group to come in not really hungry & leave with 3 empty plates. lol We’ll definitely be back!

Let’s begin at the beginning. I needed to use the restroom & wash my hands. Yes it was small but immaculately clean & stocked. Menu has a huge variety of selections. I started with a small Chile con queso. Enough for 2 people easily. DELICIOUS!!!! Chips were whole and not broken into little pieces and fragments & the salsa was so fresh!! Unbelievable. I decided to order a La carte since I hadn’t been to this restaurant in almost 40 years. It was clean and the service was awesome. I ordered a beef crispy taco and it was FILLED with ground beef. I also ordered a side of refried beans. Meh… good but not great. I had 2 Chiles Toreados. I asked for Serrano peppers instead of jalapenos and received them. HOT!!! HOT!!!!! Wonderful! I also had a tamale which was very nice and a side order of guacamole which was a little bit of a disappointment. I’m going back next week and I will have pictures for you! A La Carte was definitely more expensive but I wanted to try what I wanted to try. Plus I got 2 whole meals out of it so $26 total was reasonable. All in all, very very good! Ok… I’m going to change my review. I went again today with a friend. This time I ordered Enchiladas with Mole. The mole sauce was too watered down. Almost no flavor. I ordered one chicken enchilada, one cheese and one spinach…NO to the spinach. Gag me. All positives above remain.

The best caldo de res! 100% authentic. My husband and I went to go eat caldo in a 100 degree weather! That’s how good it was. And it also comes with corn tortillas which were delicious. I noticed this caldo had chayote which is a squash and is a potent vegetable and rich in antioxidants which helps to kill cancer. The staff was very nice and personable. This restaurant has been open since the 70s! We will definitely come back.

Mexican nachos are a must try I did add on lettuce and rice to mine but overall awesome nachos. The service was great. Drinks were refilled without asking. The restrooms are a little weird the women are upstairs the men's you have to go downstairs and they are small. So not really handicap accessible.
