    Chapala is located in a strip of shops and restaurants. Popped in for a quick lunch. Sat in the cantina section. Cold cervesa in bottles and on tap. They have a limited tequila selection, but enough from which to choose. Repasado, Silver, and Blanco tequilas are all available. Ordered a combination plate -- chicken enchilada, beef tostada, and beef taco. All items were hot and flavorful. Timely service. Typical Mexican decor.
