About Us
Rooted in Tradition, Driven by Flavor
At Taqueria Chapala, we’re more than just a taqueria—we’re a tribute to the rich culinary heritage of Mexico. Our journey began in 1995 with a passion for bold flavors, authentic recipes, and the simple joy of sharing good food with good people. What started as a family dream has become a staple for those seeking real, honest Mexican cooking.
Family-Owned & Community-Driven
In 2024, we opened our Noriega Street location in San Francisco’s Sunset District to continue our mission: bringing traditional Mexican dishes to the neighborhood with heart and soul. We're proud to be family-run, and that sense of home is baked into everything we do—from our warm hospitality to every fresh tortilla we grill.

Why Chapala?
Chapala is more than a name—it’s a symbol of our roots, our culture, and our commitment to serving food that feels like home. Inspired by the vibrant lakeside town in Mexico, we aim to capture that same warmth, color, and tradition in every dish.
