Dinner at Los Chaparros

Ate dinner at Los Chaparros, a new Mexican restaurant in the McCully area. Los Chaparros translates to “the shorties” and is run by the transplanted shorties, Mario and Lisa. The interior is spacious with a decor featuring an Aztec calendar and indoor fountains.

The food is tasty starting with plentiful chips and salsa (yes, free Tabasco Man). The huge bowl of salsa wasn’t overly spicy but had a kick to it. I ordered their house specialty, the Super Chaparros Burrito (chicken with red sauce), which was just the right size. I didn’t feel grossly overstuffed eating my meal. Although I think the zestier green sauce might have been a better match than the tamer red sauce. The prices are reasonable with my Super Burrito costing $10, and Judy’s burrito/tamale combo plate was $13.

Service was excellent with our waiter constantly refilling ice water, hot water for tea, and coffee. Lots of customers came through the doors while we were there. Although the six parking stall arrangement is tough, street parking is available. Yeah, I’d go back again, but the parking… maybe for another team building work event.
