El Chapala 69 Hendersonville Highway, Pisgah Forest, NC 28768

"Adequate but nothing special. Beef has zero seasoning. Service is ok, but place is pretty chaotic. Atmosphere is fine. Plenty of traffic in the restaurant but it is, in my view, is average at best."

"The food here is very mediocre. But an overall decent place to eat if you're hungry."

"It’s good food and it’s conveniently located on the entrance of Pisgah forest. It’s a great place to eat before heading outdoors. The service was great and friendly. The decor is really out there and really loud like a Cantina."

"I’m a local and I’ve frequented El Chapala for years. The staff know me by name and they feel like family. I highly recommend their margaritas. They make them strong, just FYI. I always get the steak fajitas and the fiancé gets alamabres. Delicious! Also, if you’re up for dessert, be sure to get the flan."

"I was actually headed to a different restaurant when we drove by this place. There were a couple of Brevard police officers having dinner here so we knew this had to be a good place. We decided to swing in and check it out. The service was very proficient and our waiter was very attentive. I would give the food to four stars it was very good, but the top shelf margaritas with the fresh lime juice were five stars. They also have a Texas margarita that was very good also. If you try el Chapala, try the Chile Colorado and top shelf margarita made with Don Julio tequila."
