My mother and I have passed by El Chaparral in Helotes many times on our way from Bandera to San Antonio and have always commented on how busy they seem to be ALL the time. So today we thought we would stop in for lunch and check it out…

Very Poor Service by jimbo99 on 12/24/2010 via Citysearch

Incompetent is the first thing that comes to mind. by seanmcc on 12/23/2009 via Citysearch
I'm really not a picky eater, neither is my wife, or my father for that matter. However my wife is vegan and I like food that is half way decent, so we try to compensate for the hassle of serving us by being very friendly and not too…

El Chapparal Mexican Restaurant by T. W on 2/22/2008 via Insider Pages
El Chapparal Mexican Restaurant is a really good place for Mexican food in a city that is famous for Mexican food. They have great black beans - you gotta try them even if you aren't a bean fan. Great menu, great prices. Try this one.

Yummy! by bellabluecu on 3/7/2006 via Citysearch
The food was fantastic on our first visit, althought service was slow. It was during the day, so perhaps they were under staffed. I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, I can't wait to go back and try the margarita!
