El Chapo Restaurant in Kaufbeuren

Well-attended, bright, clean restaurant with nice service - only the food was disappointing: spare ribs were lukewarm, half of the natchos consisted of fragments (unsuitable for dipping), guacamole and verdura burrito with spices that didn't suit our taste at all - from the refried beans in the burrito who can hardly see anything. The waitress was very attentive to our criticism.

This was our second time for dinner and both times it was excellent. Keep up the good work with this friendly staff. Of course, the boss can also greet the guests as they pass by. Herwig :)

Very good and tasty food, friendly service. I recommend making reservations in good time as it is very popular with guests

Top food. Very friendly, courteous team. We'd love to come back.

The spare ribs were very well seasoned and slightly sweet. Pleases. What I didn't like was that my order was overlooked. In addition, it is not clear from the menu that the spare rips all you can only possible if the whole table orders it according to the waiter. But the needles were still attentive and unobtrusive. But I would definitely have ordered one more drink if they had checked the drinks more often. All good with a bit of room for improvement.

It was my first time as a guest and I really liked it. Service top Food top I only have one criticism: there is no decent tequila on offer. I would definitely have upset my stomach with Sierra Tequila. 😉

Great restaurant where everyone can find something. Really all the things we ordered were very tasty, the spare ribs were super tender and fell off the bone 👍 What was also great was that various spritzes were also available in non-alcoholic versions. Really everything was great service, food and the ambience

Tasty, quick and Jule was extremely friendly 👌

Wir waren mit Freunden spontan im El Chapo, weil wir uns immer auf einen Mexikaner einigen können. Die Speisekarte ist abwechslungsreich, es ist auch vegetarisches dabei, die Mädels waren happy. Die Leute dort sind freundlich und schnell und das Bier war auch ganz ordentlich. Wir hatten einen spaßigen Abend, kann ich gut weiter empfehlen.

Unfortunately, the tofu was completely taken off the menu. Absolutely no longer recommended for vegetarians. Meat eaters welcome. It's a shame that the focus is 100% on it.

Super nice Mexican 👍. Great food and pleasant atmosphere. The food and cocktails are delicious and we really enjoyed our stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Many thanks to the entire El Chapo team! We are already looking forward to our next visit with you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was a nice visit, we were well served and looked after. Would love to come back

Food was very tasty, had the combo buritto, highly recommended to try out the 4 burittos. Happy hour is also a great thing. Ambience is pleasant, maybe a little louder depending on the table.

Food tasted good, staff was friendly. Unfortunately, it wasn't clear on the menu which dishes were spicy. It was borderline spicy at times. The portions are way too small. We (5 people) had burritos, enchiladas and the house platter and no one was really full, not even our 8 year old child who ate a normal portion. The biggest disappointment was the house platter: the spare rib was so tiny that it could have fit on a tablespoon, half of the platter consisted of nachos, the rice was cold, the burrito was tasty but overall there was just far too little for it over 22 euros. Unfortunately for us there is no need to repeat it.

The food was super tasty. The Boritus were a bit spicy though. The ladies in service were super attentive. All in all, a really great Mexican.

Food very tasty. Staff super friendly and helpful

Great food... and friendly staff. Unfortunately too few parking spaces...

hier kann man einen richtigen gemütlichen und schönen Abend verbringen.Ob im Biergarten oder im Lokal die mexikanische Atmosphäre holt dich sofort ab.Das Personal und auch die Wirtsleute persönlich sind für Wünsche und Fragen der Gäste offen.Es ist wie nach Hause kommen.Die Speisekarte ist reichhaltig und lässt keinen Wunsch offen.Auf jeden Fall haben mein Mann und ich ein neues Stammlokal mit Atmosphäre gefunden.

The food is really great! The cocktails were a bit too sweet for my taste... There always feels like there's too much going on here, so it always takes a little longer... So take your time... We've been waiting for drinks for 45 minutes, and not just once... ;) But the staff is always friendly and nice! Thanks until next time :)

El Chapo is simply the best place in the area. Whether you want something to eat or just enjoy cocktails at happy hour, it's always good. The question isn't "are we going to El Chapo or somewhere else?" but "when are we finally going to El Chapo again?" We've been there many times, with family, friends, friends and family or just the two of us, I wouldn't call us regulars yet, but almost :) We almost tried our way through the cocktails and there is hardly anything in the food that we haven't tried before, and everything is simply delicious. There are parking spaces behind the house, and there are outside play areas for the kids right next to the beer garden (so within sight!). There are so many cocktails of all kinds, and I particularly like these Salritas (see photo). They even put rum ice cubes in there. Geilomat! We love El Chapo!

Was there today. Food was great and the service was very attentive and courteous. I'd love to come back 😊👍🇲🇽🫔.

1000 percent recommended. Everything is just right there.

Today we went to El Chapo for the first time through the Schlemmerblock. What should we say to that? We are speechless. Great quality, great food and lots of it. The staff is extremely competent and knows how to answer any questions you may have. El Chapo is a MUST, you have to eat there or have been there 🤤 We'll be back.

Friendly and fast service and good cuisine, I miss the Mexican flair a little but that's complaining at a high level. In any case, it's great that we have a Mexican restaurant here in our region.

Absolut untragbar! Die Spareribs waren pappsüss Das muß ich doch vermerken auf der Karte. Konnte nichts essen und trotzdem voll zahlen Mag halt nicht jeder so ne Zuckerpampe auf Fleisch. Für 18.90 NEIN DANKE

Super delicious food, very friendly staff and a very nice atmosphere, both inside and outside

Very cool service and delicious food 👌

Rarely have Mexican food been so good, large portions. Friendly and attentive staff. Cozy, feel-good atmosphere. We are already looking forward to our next visit to the restaurant

Staff was very friendly and accommodating, food good, prices fair, toilet clean. Everything was fine.

The food was very good, but despite the restaurant being empty, the service was rarely there. I know it differently. However, the staff was very friendly.

Super delicious! Very friendly. There is also a beer garden outside with a children's playground

Who would have thought? I've driven past it many times - El Chapo and the day before yesterday I was there for the first time. And suddenly the El Chapo turns out to be surprisingly large and offers various, nicely furnished guest rooms, while it has a spacious terrace at the back, including a children's play area - which was an incentive for us as we had our granddaughter with us. And yes, I can only agree with the other reviews - the menu is appealing, the service is nice and the food is super tasty.

Super chic restaurant. Special requests are catered for and there is a large playground for children.

The place is nicely decorated, but the service is slow and the food is not very seasoned, greasy and sticky. It's a shame ☹️

Delicious food, friendly service and beautifully presented and at a very reasonable price for everything.

Today I had a delicious dinner there with my family. The portions are large, everything is fresh and excellently prepared, with great attention to detail. The ambience is very modern, coordinated with warm colors, bright, clean and radiates a friendly atmosphere. The girls from the service team are great, bright and on the ball 😃👍🏼 We would love to come back.

Full marks 👍🏼 we will definitely come back and recommend El Chapo to our friends! Reservation worked wonderfully. Service and food was top. Decoration in the restaurant is fancy and modern. Cocktails and aperitifs were very tasty and of high quality. The atmosphere was super relaxed and invites you to linger.

We ended up here today by chance and we are totally surprised at how great the store is. Really delicious food, with a great ambience and great service. Definitely coming back.

The food was ok (house platter for 1 person and enchilada amigo) but could have been a little more seasoned, at least with the house platter. The rice lacked a bit of pizzazz. The service was very friendly and attentive. An extra rib on the house plate and maybe a small portion of coleslaw wouldn't be a mistake. All in all, a good meal.

We ate there for the first time yesterday, July 7th, 2024. We can only leave a “Wow”. The food is super delicious, even for people who don't like Mexican. What impressed us was that the waitresses were absolutely on their toes, friendly and always came back to ask if we needed anything else. Another huge plus is that they serve the drinks with glass straws and not those disgusting cardboard things. Thank you for a wonderful evening, with very tasty food. We will be back.

Service only 4 points because the service should have been more attentive

Excellent option for Mexican food in Bayern Germany. Good food, attention and atmosphere. Recommended

We liked it...perfect, very friendly service. Would love to come back

We like the nice atmosphere in this restaurant. The ambience and decoration are really great! Even though we've had bad experiences with food before, all in all it's still worth recommending. You can usually eat very well here and the cocktails are also very tasty! I can particularly recommend the record for one person because you have everything you can imagine on it. Personally, I also really like the tapas. Overall, I think the prices are about 10% to 15% too expensive, but these days you've almost gotten used to it.

Very nice restaurant with nice interior design. The menu has a lot to offer and the kitchen also caters to special requests. Basically a good meal, although you should think carefully about whether you order the crispy potatoes. Unfortunately these are not like in the pictures, but very dark, almost burnt. When asked, this was declared “normal”.

Kind regards from the Lindau people

Typical TexMex cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere. Behind the restaurant there is a large covered terrace with a playground. Parking spaces are available behind the house. The food is good and nicely prepared. Everything is still okay in terms of price. But the highlight of the store is the friendly and attentive employees.

I can only recommend. Very, very tasty and the price for the food is also completely ok.

Very tasty food! Not as cilantro heavy as other restaurants. I can only recommend it to everyone! The waitresses were also super friendly! Large cocktail selection, beautifully presented and delicious! The portion size was also more than sufficient (house plate for 1 person) and reordering was no problem. I'd love to come back ☺️

VERY sweet "cocktails" here, haven't tried just one. Elsewhere very well (with high quality ingredients) that's why it stands out to me. Strawberry syrup was probably free? Lots of foam but no crushed ice and, as just mentioned, they actually only taste like syrup. The boss said, as did the staff, "it's sweet when there are three syrups in it"...even though there are only two on the menu. All right^^ if you say something, you'll be left sitting there for a while...then a small concession, only reluctantly and if asked repeatedly. Not good customer service today! But if you open your mouth, that's probably how it is. You could also use it as feedback, but instead you just defend yourself. A lady also complained - a whopping €2 was charged for a sip(!) of cream, which everyone probably finds excessive. Because the soup was too hot or something. Then pay for it?! I actually found it quite good here except for the cocktails, especially the atmosphere is cozy, but I or we no longer felt comfortable as customers. A PITY.

Very chic Mexican restaurant. The staff is very friendly and happy to explain the different dishes. The price-performance ratio is right here. We would be happy to come back.

Highly recommended Was there for the first time yesterday We'd love to come back.

Burrito recommended. Food came without a long wait. Delicious cocktails in a beautifully decorated, pleasant atmosphere. Friendly service 👍

The food is great, as is the ambience and the service is great. We took a look spontaneously and it was worth it. And if a restaurant is completely full at 6 p.m. then that speaks for itself. You are definitely worth another visit and definitely a recommendation. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

The food was very tasty and very nicely prepared. Prices are reasonable. The beer garden is good as there is a playground. The churros were very good 👍

Good Mexican with nice colorful decor. Service was friendly, but not at our table that often and rather talked. Food is good and also has a good selection for vegetarians. You can pay by card on site

I've been a guest several times and it's always worked out so far. The menu offers a large selection and the portions are good, the food is also tasty. Unfortunately the prices are relatively high.

Everyone can find something on the menu here. Burgers, typical Mexican buritos, or steaks in a variety of designs. Friendly staff and refreshing cocktails invite you to linger.

Very friendly staff, the food was good and the atmosphere was modern Mexican.

It was nice, but nothing more. The ambience has the charm of a club room that has been spruced up a bit using simple means (cactus on a putty wall). We sat directly on the path where the waitresses walked. Very cozy". In general, the guests sit much too closely in some places. It was cold. The food was okay too, but hey, fourteen euros for a portion of fries with a few crumbs of pulled pork and a few different sauces? This is snack level. The huge bowl of tacos came with a tiny bowl of dip. The enchiladas were drowned in hollandaise. The cocktails were okay, not very expensive, but not great either. And the service...was nice. Everything was somehow quite nice. But that's not enough. At least to me.

The food is absolutely amazing. It really tastes very good. The people here are all totally relaxed and friendly. I always enjoy coming here. Best restaurant in Kaufbeuren in my opinion. We had to wait a bit because it was very busy, but it was worth the wait and everyone was putting in a lot of effort here

Feb. 2024 the waiting time of 1 hour for food is a little too long... Dec. 23 Our first Mexican, super friendly service 🤠 Great atmosphere, enchilada from pollo recommended! El chapo burger and passion fruit spritzer taste great and non-alcoholic cocktails invite you to a cozy evening! You'll be happy to come back 👍🏻

I called quite spontaneously on Saturday and asked for a table. The answer that something is free came a little hesitantly, I thought that someone wanted to make themselves more interesting than it is. Wrong, the place was full to the brim, even the bar was partially occupied. Despite the many guests, the staff was on point and super friendly. The food arrived after about 40 minutes, which is more than OK with so many guests. Tastes really good, the little red chili really packs a punch. Prices according to the menu are also ok and with the gourmet block you get a meal for free! Absolutely recommended!

It was a lovely evening with delicious food.

Beautiful little church on the Auerberg with a fantastic view of the Allgäu Alps, Ammer Mountains and Zugspitze

Starters OK, main course really tasty. Gladly again

My favorite Mexican, great service and the food is a poem

Unfortunately absolutely not for me! The food, despite being Mexican, is boring, not fresh and bland. But the cocktails are okay. At first the service was very friendly and in a good mood, but that changed when I didn't leave a tip... We weren't even said goodbye... It's a shame, but I still left €140 behind. I usually always tip! Even if I don't like the food! But when I wanted to take my leftovers with me and asked the waitress if she could pack them for me, she said I had to pay €1 for “packaging costs”. So I already have to pay for the food, but I have to pay another €1 for the packaging so that I can take MY food with me?! In my opinion that is simply ridiculous and says a lot about the restaurant. So is it better to throw the food away?!

The food was mega. I have rarely eaten such good Mexican food.

The food and service were top. Gladly again soon!

So far quite solid Mexicans, but I haven't had that much of the menu yet. Spare ribs extremely tender and also good. Enchiladas also delicious, but without starter manageable portion. The Mozarella or Gauda on the Nachos is not strong enough, compared to the Taccos. The ambience is rather sober (know it more playful at Mexican restaurants). The service is super nice. Sure, if it is overcrowded it takes longer, but always friendly and personable! I will continue to be a guest there regularly!

Very tasty food and nice people!

Super delicious food. We recommend

Super nice people and the food is really great! And even though the restaurant is full, you can get your order very quickly. Top!

Great restaurant, very friendly staff, short waiting times and a very varied menu. We would love to come back…

Happy Hour Mega, vor allem die Jumbo Drinks... I like ❤️. Tolles Personal. Essen ist im oberen Preis Segment zu sehen.

Es ist laut hier. Aber es ist ein mexikanisches Restaurant und da ist es wohl auch laut. Wie auch immer, das Essen war super, schön angerichtet und zus. Wünsche wurden ruckzuck erfüllt. Gerne wieder...

Sehr leckeres Essen. Feine Cocktails. Nette umsichtige Bedienungen

Der Service war extrem nett, das Essen und das Ambiente waren gut. Man kann dort gut essen, aber es gibt sicher auch bessere Mexikaner.

Top Service von Jule und Tamara und das Essen war auch gut

Entspannter Service und Location

Auch wenn es hier mein absolutes Lieblingsgericht " Chicken Fajita " nicht gibt kann ich dieses Restaurant nur empfehlen. Waren zu einer Geburtstagsfeier hier und haben sehr gut gegessen. Jeder hatte ein anderes Gericht und wir waren alle sehr zufrieden. Hinterher gab es noch eine Runde Erdbeerlimes aufs Haus. War ziemlich voll, daher ist eine Reservierung empfehlenswert.

Das Restaurant wurde schön Eingerichtet. Wir hatten die All you can eat Spareribs. Die Portionen waren groß. Die Cocktails waren lecker und die Bedienung freundlich.

Essen war großartig! Bedienung auch sehr! Aber leider war zu laut. Wir könnten uns nicht unterhalten. Sonst alles prima

Die Spareribs fallen vom Knochen. Mega! Der Service ist sehr freundlich und bemüht. Muss sich wohl noch einspielen 😅. Preis/ Leistung Top.

Also friana do hot d El Chapo no ebbas mit am Kardell zum doa keht, des war denk nix weil jetzt hot a wohl a Wiatschaft aufgmocht aber des find i recht vernünftig von eam. Zu deam Lada ko ma nix Minds saga dia hand guate Bedienunga saubres Essa und bei deana Cocktails da hots ma nach m Vierta scho amol d Schua auszoga aber es guate isch dass d parkplatz glei hinterm Haus war also hau i it weit loffa miassa. Irgendwann gang i do nummel no Gruß D Dieter

Schönes Ambiente, gutes Essen, leckere Cocktails . Sehr bemühtes Personal auch bei Sonderwünschen :)

Wir haben kurzfristig Samstag abends was zum Essen gehen gesucht und ohne Reservierung noch nen Tisch ergattert (2 Personen), aber das war mehr Glück. Service ist schnell und freundlich. Essen war recht schnell fertig und serviert. Preislich ist das alles voll im grünen Bereich, die Portionen sind groß und lecker. Also als Zufallstreffer volle Punktzahl. 👌🏻

Montags Spar Ribs all you can eat echt eine 9/10. Die Knochen lassen sich leicht raus ziehen und das Fleisch meist zart brutal. Der Mojito is auch einfach brutal lecker 😍

Sehr gutes Essen, toller Service, gute Cocktails 🍸 Vielen Dank, kommen gerne wieder

So stellt man sich perfekte Gastronomie vor. Essen wirkliche richtig lecker, der Service ist hervorragend und das Ambiente wirklich sehr stimmig. Gerne wieder. Herzlichen Dank für den tollen Abend!

Schönes Restaurant, man sitzt nicht dicht auf dicht. Die Bedienung war aufmerksam und freundlich. Große Auswahl beim Essen und den Cocktails (alkoholische und antialkoholisch) und geschmeckt hat es sehr gut! Faire Preise!

Endlich wieder eine Cantina in Kaufbeuren und noch dazu eine gute! Typische Einrichtung, gemütlich und so wie man sich das vorstellt. Das Personal ist nicht nur freundlich, sondern auch schnell und aufmerksam. Das Essen ist lecker, der Preis angemessen. Alles pipifein also! Es gibt einen schönen und sehr sauberen Wickelraum und am Familiensonntag gratis Kindermenü - perfekt. Wir kommen gerne wieder, auch auf einen Cocktail in der Happy Hour.

Unglaublich, wie hoch die Durchschnittsbewertung für diesen Laden ist. Wieder einmal muß ich bestürzt feststellen, daß das Kaufbeurer Publikum leider keine Ahnung von gutem Essen hat. Wir waren zu fünft dort, und ich habe mich durchprobiert. Das Fleisch war von schlechter Qualität, die Gerichte waren z.T kalt, nicht gar, oder nicht mehr ganz frisch. Allgemein war das Essen fade und langweilig, und lieblos zubereitet wie in irgendeinem dieser miesen Balkangrills der Stadt. Von den Preisen her hätte ich das nicht vermutet. Das Ambiente passt aber immerhin dazu. Der Service war ok und freundlich, aber wer diesen Fraß zusammekocht, kann kein Mexikaner sein. Der Laden war aber trotzdem proppevoll, weil die Leute hier so gut wie alles fressen, und je mehr davon, desto besser. Glücklicherweise gibt es in Kaufbeuren noch ein paar deutlich bessere Restaurants, wo man merkt, daß mit Liebe und Fachkunde gekocht wird. Das El Chapo werde ich sicher nicht noch mal besuchen.

Wir waren heute zum Buffet essen im El chapo. Waren vor ein paar Wochen das erste Mal da. Wurden aber erschlagen vom Angebot. Wie schmeckt ein taco,ein burrito,enchilada? Also heute bem Buffet alles getestet. Es gibt eine tolle und riesige Auswahl. Viele sossen, Salat und leckere Nachspeisen. Ein gelungener Abend. Saubere sanitäranlagen. Freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder 😀👍

Wir waren mit vier Personen da zum Essen. Das Essen war sehr gut und schnell durch den Service zum Tisch gebracht. Die Cocktails sind alle sehr lecker. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.

Große Gruppe bestens bedient. Das Essen ist chic zubeteitet , fein , mächtig liegt aber dem ein oder anderen schwer im Magen . Service topp . Preise gut . Die Optik vom Restaurant ist ansprechend

Sehr gutes Essen mit einem sehr guten Service, gerne wieder 😊

Sehr schöne Atmosphäre. Leckere Cocktails. Das Gericht mit den Garnelen konnte leider geschmacklich gar nicht überzeugen, allerdings der hauseigene Burito war sehr köstlich. (Der gekochte Mais war nicht so der Hit würde da irgendwie noch was anderes vorstellen wie eine Soße oder gegrillten Mais, da der gekochte wie abgestanden geschmeckt hat) Die tapas vorne weg waren sehr lecker, allerdings schade das sie ohne Soße bzw. Dip geliefert worden sind bzw. sofern es extra bestellt werden muss nicht drauf hingewiesen wurde. Bei unserem Besuch kam auch die Vorspeise schneller als die Getränke was bisschen schade, war da man gerne etwas trinken wollen würde dazu. Vor allem wenn keine Soße mitgeliefert. Leider war es an dem Abend auch so hektisch bzw. Voll das ein nachbestellen nicht in Frage kam. Insgesamt würde ich die Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte die Fleischlastig sind empfehlen. Bei Garnelen eher Vorsicht!

Mega ! Essen 10/10 sehr schön eingerichtet und sehr viel Platz der Service war auch super !! Sehr zu empfehlen 😊
