Mexican restaurant

😠 The food was not very good, except from that we sat there for 1 hour and we saw 2 large cockroaches crawling on the wall next to us. The place wasnt very clean either. First time i am writing a negative review. People often mention Mexican,

    Lovely restaurant with good Mexican food and a really friendly Chef/Owner. Gaijin friendly and the Chef knows how to speak Spanish and English really well. The Margarita(s) were delecious!

    Could not believe we stumbled onto a delicious Mexican restaurant in Takayama! The chef/owner was absolutely lovely and has been to Mexico before. it really shows in the tasty guacamole, freshly made tortilla chips and delicious quesadillas. Beef burrito was really good, really exceeded expectations.

    Chapala is a little Mexican restaurant that is well worth a visit. The owner/cook/waiter does everything in a small galley kitchen. He speaks English and Spanish (and Japanese!) and menu had English translations. Margaritas, pico de gallo salsa and habanero Tabasco in the middle of Japan - 'nuff said.

    Kato san the owner and the cook is a very kind person he speaks some English and some Mexican! The food is so tasty and a bit hot (Mexican) its a cozy place and a great one if you want to spend a nice time in Takayama. Its not traditional Japanese food but its worth a try! Price are fair. Highly recommended! Luca Amico del Solevante private tours in Takayama and around.

    Five stars for excellent service. We arrived to the restaurant 20 minutes before it was open (unknowingly) and were welcomed indoors with a smile and our order taken promptly. The owner was friendly throughout the evening - even when we’d arrived at a a busy time as he was setting up for the night. Cannot fault the hospitality.

    Absolutely DELICIOUS food at a good price, would definitely recommend. Lots of nice dishes to share. The tacos were big and the quesadilla was really tasty. The homemade salsa was the best I've ever had and even had a bit of a kick. The setting was really nice as well and the owner was really friendly as well.
