    Fabulous tacos, fresh and tasty with a unique twist to each item. Drinks were good and got the job done especially the five dollar Taco Tuesday Margarita. Very fast and friendly service in a fun casual atmosphere.

    This is my 2nd time to Los Chapos but certainly not the last. I had a Burrito Bowl which was phenomenal. The taste was delicious! I had chicken, black beans, corn and added shrimp on a bed of rice. Oh my goodness. The staff was nice and accommodating. The atmosphere is amazing- you can choose to dine in or outside. Either way this place is recommended. Great job Los Chapos. ⭐

    Los Chapós Tacos is a top-tier spot for anyone craving authentic and flavorful Mexican cuisine. Every dish I tried was phenomenal, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the hearty and delicious steak bowl. Their mango drink was a refreshing highlight, bursting with tropical sweetness that paired beautifully with the bold flavors of the food. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who made the experience even better, and the vibrant ambiance added to the restaurant’s charm. Highly recommended for anyone looking for amazing Mexican food that hits all the right notes!

    The taco shop is beautiful inside. The drinks are really pretty and taste great. I got the mango sangria and the carne asada street tacos. The only downside is side I would say is that we thought it was closed. It shares a building with another establishment and it wasn’t super obvious at first that there were 2 restaurants there. We almost left until we noticed another door all the way on the other side. They should add a sign directing people to that side for them.
