Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Food was so good I forgot to take a picture before hand. Also the horchata is great"
"The food here is full of flavor and always served fresh. The tacos are packed with meat and toppings, and the portions are generous for the price. The place has a casual, welcoming vibe, making it great for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. Everything comes out fast, and the flavors keep you coming back"
"The food is always delicious and the family is very sweet."
"Authentic! A friend and I were in the mood for Mexican food. and since we had never been here, decided to try it. We loved it. Dinner orders were prepared quickly in a area just beyond the counter but shielded from the public. Freshly prepared plates were brought to our table almost immediately after cooking was completed. Flavors were fresh, vibrant and bold. Prices maybe were slightly higher than other restaurants where most orders are taken at a counter, but bear in mind you are getting flavorful, freshly prepared food. It is still very budget friendly. (I think the last time we tasted such well prepared food was in a higher end Mexican restaurant/night club we visited several months ago in San Antonio Texas.) Portion sizes at El Chaparro were just right. We both left feeling pleasantly full. We had no room left for dessert, so we need to visit again for something sweet! My friend is vegetarian, by the way, and he found vegetarian options in several food categories."
"Very good food. I got 2 steak tacos and 2 quessabirria. It was delicious, but I can’t lie it’s definitely a little pricey. I would for sure come back though - it was very good."
"These tacos are flavor packed, juicy, and DELICIOUS. I love them. They're $4 per taco, which is pricier to me, but they're amazing. Try it if you havent :)"
"This place is super low-key. I’ve driven past it. Probably 100 times and missed it first and foremost now have a huge selection of food. I got the quessabirra tacos and they were great. Service was excellent. The place was clean. Had a nice warm, cool vibe to it. Since it’s on my way home from work, I’ll be stopping there probably at least once or twice a week. I look forward to trying something else on the menu."
"I stopped in to Palos, where I grew up, and looked for El Gallo. El Gallo was closed so I checked out this place and loved it. Their steak taco was one of the best that I’ve had in a long time"
