Review La Chalupa Mexican Restaurant - Lancaster

Never been to a Mexican restaurant with a small little buffet. I got to say that was pretty awesome.. unfortunately I give 4 stars because the buffet doesn’t offer vegetarian options or fish it’s just beef And such. I did get a 13 dollar shrimp 🦐 fajita which was really good. They did have a vegetarian options on the menu. I definitely will be back.

O M G Where has this place been all my life. This amazing quaint place has a Mexican buffet with all of the necessary items that make the meal. The staff is friendly and takes care of their guests. The buffet is sanitary and gloves are provided for the health and safety of patrons. You have got to plan a date to try out this diamond in the rough!!!!!!!!!

Food is always amazing and the buffet is great with lots of delicious options

Best Mexican buffet and margaritas around! Service is always great, we are seated right away and the food is always on point! Many menu options are also available if you do not want the buffet. Party or event rooms available as well.

They do have some good food but everytime I place a Togo order the one lady in there never understands me when trying to ask for my food. It is crazy, now that she has always missed up my order, so now I try to place a order yesterday and that's when she said no that they no longer will take a order from me again, I can't help she doesn't understand English and alway missed up my order but before I have places the same order for years now but only into now that she started making my order all wrong. So no I would not recommend this place unless the owner is working or the other white lady is working, or that other one Mexican lady is working. Not the one with the long hair and can't understand English. I have called they said they would fix the problem as you can see in the comments and I thought that they did fix the problem but the lady they working tonight is really rude. If she does not understand English this just should not be working there I cannot help that she did not get the order right the first time that was not my fault if y'all want to be racist about the situation then that is on y'all I will never ever recommend this restaurant again. Y'all are wrong. They need to fire that woman, or y'all going to lose a lot of customers. She is always messing up his orders. Y'all said y'all wish to resolve the issue but when I try to order from you again the woman said no that she was not going to take my order and that we're always complaining I only complained when she messes up the order I will not recommend this restaurant at all they need to go to the other Mexican restaurant. Y'all have very disrespectful employees and I feel that it is possibly a racial problem.

Had to get my own menu. Waitress to busy on her phone to take my order. Had to get up and go ask for everything. Worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. Taste like it came from a can

Always great. The atmosphere is not too claustrophobic and the food on point. The service is for the most part very solid. Can't reccomend enough if you are staying in town.

Being from Brooklyn, NY, I love cultural, good people & food! Since recently moving to Lancaster I was surprised to find most people to be friendly & start more conservations than I do. I don't eat out much but after learning about La Chalupa's buffet, I've eaten there at least 15 times. The servers are likeable, friendly & attentive, I really like the tall & shorter one, wish remember thier names, I rate them an A in CS. However, few months ago, had unexpected issue with the attitude of a young white server who was Very disrespectful. I''m a youthful black woman of 60, treat everyone like I want to be treated. I worked CS for many years, always believe in professional customer service & is known for letting managers know, when thier employees are providing exceptional service, the same when they don't. This server argued with me about something simple & was loud. I was very upset. Although the manager was not there, I couldn't get any assistance from anyone there, no one was in charge?? So I left!! Did call several times throughout the month still no manager. Promised self won't go there anymore. However, went back few months ago & manager was there. He indicated heard about it but I felt my grievance was nit important although several othe employees verified, "I'm not a trouble maker". I don't eat out much & don't care for fast food but it's nice to go out & support the few restaurants here I had a good friend with me yesterday, I was very hungry & wanted to "treat" them especially since I still enjoyed the buffet, ok,we were in line, no problem, several servers in front, a female server offered to guide us to be seated, was not sure what she said because her demeanor was not friendly, couldn't hear what she said & she disappeared so didn't know where she went. I asked the other female server for assistance, she did indicate no seating in area we had go up stairs, no problem, we just wanted be seated & enjoy the food, music. As we walked she kept talking about we had go up stairs, I'm like, ok, we could go outside it dudn't matter. When we got in the back her voice got extremely high I had ask if could stop walking & talk to us so didn't have talk loud She was loud because other customers were looking, & I"m not a loud person but she got louder & the situation was going where it didn't need to..just to sit down like everybody else!! My guest never said anything but I was embarrassed for my guest because he was a business man & I am reserved & not loud. As we left I ask the lady @ the register about the situation, I was confused because all she said was, "that's how she talks". I don't believe she ralks that way to most the customers. Another disrespectful experience @ La Chalupa! We did find somewhere else to have a meal but very upset!! I don't have time to write reviews, especially this long. I understand places that get good biz don't really care about a few complaints. Although I don't believe "customers are always right", I do believe in treating others like you want to be treated, a business employees reflects the values & principles of the owner! It may not mean anything to the owner or some of it's employees, but this customer will let her friends know about my experiences, not to get back, but you've taken away the only restaurant I really looked forward to eating there & being new here, with very few nice retaurants offered here, you also removed yourself from my "A place to go List!!! By the way, I am a food critic & secret shopper, I love healthy cooking, gourmet cooking & foods & know many other people who believe in good Customer Service! Never underestimate your clientele. Good managers are leaders. Some things are not taught, but learned, Enough said!
