Chapala Express

Welcome to Chapala Express, a beloved family-owned Mexican restaurant nestled in the heart of Richland, Washington, in the scenic Tri-Cities region. Since opening our doors, we've been serving authentic Mexican cuisine that captures the essence of traditional flavors while incorporating fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Our menu features an impressive array of dishes, from sizzling fajitas piled high with perfectly seasoned chicken, steak, or shrimp, to hearty burritos, crispy tacos, and our legendary loaded nachos smothered in cheese, guacamole, and jalapeños. Begin your meal with our authentic appetizers and salads, or indulge in specialty dishes like creamy pollo a la crema, savory Chile Colorado, or tender carne asada. No visit is complete without sampling our famous margaritas—available frozen or on the rocks, in classic Cadillac or delicious flavored varieties, priced between $12-15. Our full bar also offers premium tequila shots, domestic and imported beers, and can craft all your favorite cocktails. Planning a celebration? Our catering service feeds 50-300 guests with options including fajitas, enchiladas, burritos, tamales, and more.
