chiapas eat mexican

we ordered a beef burrito and crispychickentaco. the food arrived quite quickly and it was really hot when it arrived. the burrito was huge (picture added with my hand beside it for comparison). the meat was extremely tender and flavourful. the portion was huge and we couldn't finish it! the tacos did not travel well and was a bit of a mess when it arrived. it had also split and leaked through the bag. the taco shells had become soft already so it made the taco difficult to eat. however, the actual flavour of the taco was amazing!

always a wonderful experience. the staff is always friendly and the food is flavourful. thechickenburrito is my favorite, i have it for lunch and i don't need to eat for the rest of the day.

what a find!! like mexico in your mouth. that chiapias sauce on thechickentacos.. wowzers😋😋 thanks also for the biggest smiles and friendliest service in the zone!

so, i used uber eats for the first time today, and chose this restaurant to order from, because it stated a 20 - 30 minute delivery. err umm, try an hour!!

i ordered a beef burrito and some tortillas & guacamole. my first impression was of a burrito packed very full of filling. very nice. it was packed with beef and peppers/veg. i can’t say there was anything wrong with it but it just wasn’t special at all. i found it disappointing cause i really felt like signature mexican. i’ve eaten much tastier burritos at other mexican restaurants in gauteng. maybe thechickenis a better option??

the guacamole was nice and so too the tortillas. there just wasn’t near enough guacamole to finish my tortillas.

i’d like to try one of thechickenburritos next time, or some tacos to ensure i get the full experience. overall however the meal never moved my soul!

i love this place. this is my favorite go-to-spot for a quick bite. i usually stick to the burrito option and i alternate between the beef and thechicken- they are both really good. the burritos are big and will definitely fill almost anyone. awesome food! awesome service!

i enjoy mexican food and when i came across this cute looking in and out mexican fiesta i just had to give it a go.
if i'm honest it's quite easy to miss as it's not the most inviting place, but the food definitely makes up for this flaw. i ordered the nachos withchickenand a choice of toppings. i topped mine with guacamole, tomato, sweet corn, sour cream and a generous amount of melted cheddar. my friend went to american and said that this place share a big similarity with taco bell. so if your biggest wish is to indulge in a meal from taco bell, this is apparently the place to go.

love the concept of this and the nice clean fresh flavours, and its so nice to have a healthier fast food option other than burgers. everything about the store is clean and simple. service is great !! on arrival the lady asked me if i had eaten there before and took me through everything. i had a burrito bowl with steak which was good. they have burritos, nachos, tacos and a salad option, you then choose between steak, pulled beef,chickenor veggies and add your fillings and flavours. i just wish that they had abit more drink options as there is only coke, sprite and still or sparkling water.

terrible food. burritos were doughy.chickenwas burned and there waschickenpieces in my pulled beef burrito. i wouldn't be returning here any time soon

had achickenburrito from order in choosing my toppings just like you would do in the store .chicken was tender, was tasty burrito ,sauce could be better

i wouldn't have visited this on my own but a few people mentioned it was good so we decided to give it a try. luckily we only ordered one meal.

the set up resembles a very clinical canteen. it's very much a quick way and leave vibe. we tried thechickennachos for r65. what i didn't like was the server dishing out food was quite stingy compared to other portions we saw. he also didn't exactly ask properly what we wanted on it and only offered one selection from each category whereas i saw others getting everything.

the flavour wasn't great and we became quite bored of the meal. also eating nachos in a high container isn't great as you can't get to everything easily. the only thing that had any nice flavour was the green salsa.

overall i wouldn't go back. i definitely wouldn't recommend the nachos. i think a bowl or burrito would be a better option.

yay! mexican food! :)
food is tasty, fresh, crunchy and flavorful! venue is modern and clean.
it works like anat, where you choose your ingredients over the counter and the staff dish up them up into tortillas/tacos/burritos (you get 3 tortillas each)!
we tried the beef andchicken(both good but preferred chicken) with and without avo... if you dont take avo you will kick yourself, and no-one likes to kick themselves, so take the avo! :)
staff lacked enthusiasm and then had a staff meeting right next to us, even though the place was quite empty...

besides that, we have recommend it to friends and would go back.

*edit*

seems like once again a pretty good spot has lost its quality. so i was there last week and its was okay but definitely not as good as before. but today was the end of it. i ordered a delivery and what i got was 1 broken taco which created a river of rice and 2 incomplete ones.

i didn't get my lettuce, i didn't get my salsa, i didn't get the sour cream.

just dry rice and drychickenon a dry shell.

it's sad because i really like tacos. where do i go now?

arriba arriba, andale andale... 

i feel like speedy gonzales, also i realize how politically incorrect all our cartoons were. lol, i've always loved mexican cuisine, firstly because i love spicy salsa's and avo's secondly because as a kid i always thought mexicans looked and did cool things, whether it was the bad guys like the mexican drug cartel, or  the luchadores,  everything about mexico fascinated me, día de muertos is still today one of the most awesome celebrations to honor the dead. and i guess what im trying to say is that the mexican culture is so colourful and amazing you have to expect the same from their dishes.

now when it comes to trying these mexican establishments i always find a lack it taste and its like they're trying to ruin my views of mexican food. but gratefully this was not one of those establishments

the idea of this place is also quite cool, you choose your outer shell... burrito, taco, nachos... you then go down the line throwing all the other ingredients in.  and although they have all the basic ingredients i felt like they could offer more. also why do i pay more for avo. 

see  i understand that what they offer is a traditional range of mexican ingredients that you can throw into whatever you choose, but what if i wanted to throw some mozzarella on there, and some jalapenos, and why is there not a spicy avo option. also why is there no pulled pork, and do they know fish tacos are awesome. 

in terms of food and service they are great, the food was delicious, and the service was good,  the venue itself is also quite cool. my brother did say i have to mention that they gave us only 2 serviettes for four people eating really messy food which was a bit of a thoughtless thing to do on their part. 

and again for the price i'd like to see more options. but other than that i definitely enjoyed the experience and will be back.

chiapas is a quick and easy mexican spot that serves some really tasty food. their menu is simple build-your-own fare, and you can choose between burritos, tacos, a normal bowl and salad.

i ordered the pulled beef burrito which was yum. i recommend adding everything and extra guac (unfortunately you have to pay r10 for it). if you choose the hot salsa prepare for super spiciness. the ingredients were all fresh and flavourful. their pulled beef wasn't bad, but i must say my boyfriend'schickenwas better.

it has a cafeteria vibe so it's not the greatest for a proper sit down meal, but fine if you want a quick bite. the staff also seemed quite grumpy and were quite rude to the lady behind us in line.

mexican inspired restaurants have been popping up all around joburg recently! chiapas is a welcome addition in rosebank, and a pay before you eat concept.

choose your meal style - taco, burrito, bowl, salad or nachos - then select between beef,chickenor vegetarian and add your toppings.

service is efficient and friendly, and the place is super clean. pay for your meal and eat in (with disposable cutlery) or take it home.

the food is tasty and portions are well sized. what i love the most is the simple and stylish interior. i'll definitely be back for more!

a ‘build-your-own’ meal quick service restaurant where you get to choose the exact amount of each ingredient. great for a quick lunch. thechickenburrito bowl was reasonably priced and delivered in terms of freshness, taste and flavour.
