The location of El Chaparral was a little tricky but it is within the Helotes community Old Town! They gave an unexpected traditional bakery full of texmex pastries and cookies. Their traditional TexMex food seems to follow customary recipes. Their Spanish rice and refried beans are perfect. However the cheddar cheese used on the traditional cheese enchiladas was a serious miss!! Not sure if it was a specific brand of cheese but its taste falls flat. The staff are friendly, helpful, polite. The bathrooms are clean. The interior decor feels like an old day traditional Spanish home. Its rustic charm moves you to a cozy atmosphere conducive to welcoming a special meal. It is good. Just not quite a San Antonio icon!

My aunt really loves this place so it’s usually where will meet the place is very pretty inside but I had the enchilada plate and it was just alright it wasn’t great but wasn’t horrible I can say what my family ordered definitely did look good but I feel like the orginal old school plates shouldn’t be forgotten about I would definitely not order the cheese enchilada plate again! Service was great and relatively fast outside of that!

Ordered flan for dessert to go. They presented it as in the 2nd pic but as soon as you take a bite you can taste that it’s BURNT! There’s no way they “didn’t know” they were happily selling spoiled food! This place is nothing more than an overpriced taco bell! In fact Taco Bell has better expectations & wouldn’t KNOWINGLY sell you BAD FOOD! Look out! If they’ll try to make this pass, they’ll sell you hairy food or contaminated food!!! DISGUSTING!!!!

A Must-Try Mexican Gem in Helotes, Texas
One of the absolute standouts in the greater San Antonio area this Mexican restaurant is next level incredible. From the moment you walk in, the welcoming atmosphere sets the tone. Whether you choose to sit indoors or relax out on the patio, you’re in for a treat.
Now let’s talk about those massive margaritas strong, refreshing, and unapologetically bold. Thank you for making them the way margaritas are meant to be made!
The food? Phenomenal. Every dish bursts with authentic Mexican flavor, from the perfectly seasoned entrées to the homemade tortillas and excellent guacamole. The chips are crisp, the salsa has just the right kick, and everything tastes like it was made with care and tradition.
The service is just as impressive friendly, attentive, and fast. You truly feel like a welcomed guest every time.
This place is the real deal. If you’re craving bold flavors, strong drinks, and a vibrant vibe, this is the spot.
Plenty of room to park as well. Free parking!

Chicken flautas and refried beans were good. Rice wasn’t hot and when they brought the replacement, it wasn’t hot either. They took my plate since I tried a meat filled one as well but sent it back and only got my flauta on a plate so I couldn’t finish enjoying my beans and salad.
Also, it doesn’t smell nice in there. Not sure what it is but yuck.

Food was good, everything seemed made from scratch. Chips, salsa and a small bowl of beans were brought to the table to start The beans were flavorful with just a little bit of spice on the back end. The salsa was also good, with just a little bit of heat. Chips wete fresh, but unseasoned. The chicken in the Chicken fajatas was a little tough. The cheese enchiladas were good but the corn flavor from the tortillas was a little overpowering. The rice was done perfectly and the refried beans were good and not your typical out of the can refried beans. Next time I need to save room for the sopapillias. Staff was friendly. Plenty of seating. They had a nice lunch crowd for a Thursday. Also, they do offer a military discount.

I recently enjoyed lunch with one of my church friends. The food was fantastic, the service was great, and the atmosphere was perfect for enjoying a good conversation with good company. I had the Street Tacos (Al Pastor) and they were enjoyable. The chips and salsa are a bonus and the drink selection is pretty solid. Plenty of non alcoholic options which is a good thing. We went on a Monday around noontime and were seated immediately and seen by our server promptly. There’s really nothing negative I can say. I will be going back in the near future!

We opted to sit on outside patio under a large tree. The server placed menus on a table covered in pollen & leaves. Tell me how that is acceptable? Just because we sit al fresco doesn’t mean we want to eat from a dirty table Thankfully the server returned quickly with a wet towel & cleaned table with no issues. The matter was handled very well, but it should go without saying that the tables & chairs are cleaned regularly & throughout the day.
