El Churrasco Chapin

I missed the staff when they first opened they were a lot nicer. I’ve been here 3x (yesterday being the 3rd). The ladies working there didn’t make the experience any better. I had ordered three things off the menus. The 3rd item never arrived. I asked for water and the water never arrived either. There was no point in asking because they looked like they didn’t want to really attend anybody other than serving food and heading to the back leaving everyone unattended. I went to pay and mentioned that I never got my 3rd item, she was rude about it but ultimately didn’t charge for me for it. When she asked if I ordered drinks, clearly there was nothing else on our table other than food. The food is honestly not that bad but debatable because my stomach started hurting when I got home and is still hurting now, the next day. I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ to each their own but the atmosphere is a lot different then when they first opened up.

Fresh food, great portions, good prices, excellent service! We came for Saturday around 11am and it was full inside but service was still pretty quick. Meat, eggs and homemade tortillas 🤤 Everything was prepared with care and you can taste the love that goes into the food.

Great food, a little small venue but the ladies were very nice, they make you feel welcome

I’m so glad I found this spot! Was in the area and hungry. I love Latin food so I decided to give this place a try. I couldn’t be more satisfied. The food is delicious and flavorful, and the service is top notch. Very welcoming staff. I’m definitely coming back again.

Amazing service and really good food! The food was fresh and very authentic! It tasted just like the food I had growing up in Guatemala.

Was looking for a Mojarra Frita.. came here and they sold out. As a newbie decided to try their Carne Guisada..... Cash Only.. literally someone’s kitchen. They don’t have a menu.. is literally what’s on the banner.. Delicious!!! Coming back for sure

I would love to post this review in Spanish so the personnel at the eatery sees it. The glory of local hood dinning can be found right here at El Churrasco Chapin. This is your hood, cotner eatery. I ordered "Caldo de Gallina" almost as good as my Mom's, cuz... hey, no one had better cooking skills than my mom. Okay? Now that the record is straight, ha! I invite you to give this eatery a chance. Highlights: Tortillas hechas a mano...mh Restrooms ONLY for paying clientelle They take cards for an affordable $1 and service is personalized in which they do accomodate some requestsfriendly professional svce. As always I advise to be mindful of the challenges our California businesses have overcome. So. treat the place and people with TLC. and TIP well. ThANKS

I eat here almost every weekend after I workout. My go-to is the chapin breakfast. It’s so good, I always come back.

Amazing home like cook meal with great staff. Will definitely recommend to others and be back no doubt!

5 por los mejores antojitos Chapines/Guatemaltecos! Gran lugar para recordar los sabores de Guatemala! Vengan a disfrutar las mixtas, tostadas, o un churrasquito, acompañados de Marimba! Despues de aqui, pues vaya a Guatemala y disfrute!

This is our second time coming here. It is a treat for us to come down here because we drive over two hours from San Diego. My boyfriend is Guatemalan so this food reminds him of his mom's cooking. The food is absolutely delicious and never disappoints. And the employees are very nice and attentive. I ordered the Chow Mein and it was my first time trying this dish and it was delicious I loved the chicken, noodles, carrots, and celery. I was surprised that it came with ketchup on the side. I tested a little bit on the side, it was not bad at all but I prefer it without it or some hot sauce. It has enough flavor! I also ordered the Strawberry Banana shake it was delicious, and it was a lot of food so I was very full after. They started us off with two bean tostadas that have crumbled cheese on top. It's simple but it's so delicious. I like these so much I ordered the tostadas that have one salasa, avocado, and black beans. They are so good I highly recommend them. We did order some coffee and the lady who helped us offered us refills which my bf happily accepted. My bf ordered the creamy chicken and he was very satisfied. I can't wait to come back here again! We need a location in San Diego!

La comida super buena, el servicio y el ambiente del lugar muy bueno. Super recomendados!

First time here and I love it so far! There are lots of options and I only tried el Shuco Mixto and Jamaica! It was good! I must say I went to the one located on Eastern Ave (El Sereno, Ca)

Me encanta la comida el lugar muy limpio y el personal muy amable lo recomiendo Me encanta la comida el lugar muy limpio y el personal muy amable lo recomiendo

Friendly service, down-to-earth atmosphere and delicious food. I especially love the plantains, the refried black beans and thick homemade tortillas. Have tried the omelette and tamale and both were really tasty. Extremely interesting to try the Guatemalan style food, which is distinct from the more common Mexican cuisine in LA. Reasonable prices too, give it a try!

The food is very dissapointing. The churrasco meat is not very good quality. The meat which should be charbroiled is not. Not worth the price!

Absolutely delicious and authentic Guatemalan food, fast and friendly service, and a nice interior with good music and pantings of Guatemala. Definitely stop by!

The appetizers that we ordered were delicious! However we never got a chance to order the main entree due to a lack of service. It was surprising because there was only 1-2 other tables. They were about to close within 30 minutes (after sitting dish for 1 hour)! so they offered us a takeout of the entrees. Since we went clubbing that night we refused takeout & just paid for the appetizers & drinks. At the club they had tacos so we had those for dinner!

My other half and I have been coming to this restaurant since it opened almost two years ago now. This is our number one go to spot, everyone already knows us and what we like, so when we come it feels like home. The service is great and the food is delicious. We try to come at least once a week, sometimes more. My favorite dish here is the breakfast, sometimes with chorizo or asada, we change it up. They have a vast menu, so you have a lot to explore, everything we have tried has never disappointed. This place has come up more and more. It's kinda a well kept secret. If you like authentic Guatemalan food this is it.

If you're missing Chapínlandia's food this is the place to come to remember the tradicional and artesanal tasting of the day to day Guatemala's food original flavor. It is Dia de Los Santos and we were dying to have some Fiambre and right on it was posted on their Instagram page that today they would have FIAMBRE. We stopped by and had Fiambre, Rellenitos and mole. Everything was so tasteful and the plates were abundant. Happy to give them a 5 starts review. Keep up the good work.

This place is a gem! My Guatemalan heart is so pleased by their food. First of all, it was here that I was able to find many of the "antojitos" (small plates) that I've been missing since moving to LA. Their dobladas are outstanding, fresh, crispy, and delicious --my absolute favorite thing on the menu. Their churrasquitos (grilled meat atop a tortilla) mixtas (hot dog on a corn tortilla), shucos (Guatemalan style hot dog), tostadas, and paches (potato-based tamal) are some of the best I've tried outside of Guatemala. The food is authentic. The service is always courteous, but expect a bit of a wait as everything is made to order and is fresh.

Literally this place is amazing !! A hidden Gem! Everyone at this establishment is so nice and the food is honestly some of the best food I've had.. EVER!! I will be coming back!!

Oh my god. This place is the BOMB. I got tamales de pollo con pan & my dad got un churrasco. We both got avena. This place is hidden. Pero QUE RICO. Very satisfied, thank you/ gracias xoxo

The food took a long time to get and further more check you bill was more than the prices on the menu so the menu is not updated and they won't honor them either had a big discussion over it they don't tell you .. is like stealing in your face!! Sucks

Was looking for a Mojarra Frita.. came here and they sold out. As a newbie decided to try their Carne Guisada..... Cash Only.. literally someone's kitchen. They don't have a menu.. is literally what's on the banner.. Delicious!!! Coming back for sure

A small place with a lot of flavor typical guatemalan food and always available to please palates, friendly treatment clean restaurant and Excellent customer service, variety of drinks and above all they always have delicious soups!!!!! do not pass without trying the Churrascos Plate

So so so good! I ordered a platillo de salpicón which comes with rice, beans, and a few handmade tortillas. Looking forward to coming back and trying the churrasco which seems popular hence their name.

We had lovely lunch at Churrasco Chapin. the staff could not have been more helpful and the food was great. We all especially enjoyed the mole plantaino which made perfect ending to our meal

Delicioso! My family and I came and ate the whole menu. We were very satisfied! Before little brother was hangry, the food turned his frown upside down! (: 100/100 recommend
