Worst experience EVER!!! We had a large party, so we arrived early. After waiting almost 2 hours, they seat us in a corner that did not comfortably seat 12. Good thing there was an empty table next to us, my husband sat with the kids there. Great staff, but we were not informed the air conditioner was not working. Needless to say, everyone was uncomfortable in a hot corner. Fortunately, our waitress was very nice, but we didn’t even order appetizers because we were ready to leave!

We've been eating here since they opened and today was a disappointment. The server must have been new. We waited a long time to get tea and water. We never got the bean soup they serve before the meal. While the food was good, the amount of guacamole was disappointing. It's Father's Day. Probably won't come for a holiday again.
Terrible experience this past weekend! Flies everywhere! No wait staff ever came to table and what appeared to be a mouse dropping on the menu! We left!

Whenever we come to Boerne, we always have to have a dinner at El Chaparral. Food is always delicious, atmosphere inviting and service spot on. Price is reasonable, so order the El Jeffe and ad a splash of fiesta to your visit!

Let’s just get to the overall reason for this poor review.
Arrived at the restaurant, seated in a small room very loud with so many people, the waiter came around and asked for drink orders, some of the members never got their drink, we figured we will make them aware of it when they came back around, we got ghosted they did not come around until after we served ourselves via a buffet.
The food sat in the containers for a good hr before we were asked to server ourselves, BTW a member in our party got very sick from the food.
The buffet was fajitas, chicken or beef, beans and rice with guacamole and pico. Simple meal. There was nothing special and it was ok.
When we got ready to leave, we asked for our bill, she complained that, they had not been told how to charge as it was by family and not as a group.
They went away for 10-15 min and came back and said ok we are ready, we said we had to plates, a water and a tea. That will be $86.00 my jaw just about hit the floor, how can you charge 36.00 a plate for a simple meal.
We paid and went about our business, but I will never go back, never recommend this establishment.
36.00 a plate for poor service, food that sat around for an hr is outrageous!
The only reason I gave it 2 star is because the food was ok, but everything else was terrible.
Some members of our party tried to order a beer from the bar, even though they told the bartender that they would not be starting a tab and just paying for it, the bartender refused to sell them a beer said they had to order it from their waiter at the table.
