That was undoubtedly the worst Puffy Tacos ever produced in the San Antonio area. very little ground beef and not enough lettuce and tomatoes for even one taco much less two! There was nothing puffy about the so called tortillas. They were simply thick cakes of some substance but definitely not tortillas. El Chaparral used to bethe go to place for Mexican food. No more!

Taco Salad tortilla was full of grease as shown in box. After removing the mound of shredded chicken, which my husband said was seasoned well, I was left with very little of the other goodies. Speaking of other goodies, I requested sour cream & guacamole on the side, I did not receive either item. Husband liked the chimichanga, but kind of skimpy on toppings.

The Queso Bowl is a good size and comes with a decent bag of chips. The Kids Crispy Tacos Stallion are so small and cute! The Pancho Villa plate is exactly as described. The flour tortillas are incredibly soft and yummy! My complaint is in the refried beans. They used to be THE reason to eat at El Chaperal for me, but whoever is in charge these days has changed the recipe and they're nowhere near as good unfortunately.
