This place is very traditional Guatemalan taste. My girlfriend and I we really enjoy the food here. I'm Guatemalan so to me was very impressed that the food was delicious and good customer service. We were passing by so we stop it was worth it. We actually thinking to come back from LA. View all feedback.
What Kaylee Purdy doesn't like about El Chapín Bakery Store:
Pupusas are good. Yucca frita with chicharrón plate is soooo delicious! But this place is way too expensive. I think because they know they are the only Central American restaurant in the area, they take advantage. Plus, not all plates are being sold since COVID. And sometimes they don't pick up the phone and close earlier than their hours posted. They are a bit unreliable but their food is good if you are willing to... View all feedback.
This place is very traditional Guatemalan taste. my friend and I really enjoy eating here. I am guatemalan so for me was very impressed that eating was delicious and good customer service. we were over to stop, it was worth it. we really think to get back from la.
El Chapin was a great experience. We expected a hole in the wall, and that's what we have, but it's really much more. The owner, called “Mom” by the server, is a great cook and serves their own recipes, with some added home cooking. The menu is in Spanish and friendly Canadians, we tried to translate Google. Finally, we gave up, and Mom came out to describe her favorite dishes... and we ordered them! We heard that the Pupusa were the main reason for the success of the restaurant, so we order some of them to share. A few cheeses and jalapeno and a few shrimps. With Curtido, a kind of cabbage Slave, these thick filled corn tortillas were delicious! We also order two starters from Platanos Fritos or fried planners. They are sweet and served with beans and a thick cream sauce. Sweet, like dessert! The ducks were initially somewhat overwhelming, but we finally decided on Brocheta Mixta, a kind of small sampler with shrimp, beef and chicken. We also ordered the Pollo en Crema, a quarter chicken cooked in a cream sauce with red and green peppers. Very good! Also ordered a Chili Relleno, and it was made right... a filled pepper. A little spice, but really nice! We had no room for Dessert! The owner and their staff were very friendly, the service was great, and the food was excellent! If you are in Oceanside, and looking for a great affordable meal, I recommend El Chapin
Delicious Guatemalan food. tamales and pupusas ordered. also a large bakery before place to complete the meal.
These Papusa were the best I ever had. I didn't even have them. The Tamarindo was the best I ever had. Really top notch. The little tortillas with beef and cabbage were like small tostadas and I ate them in a bite. I noticed that the prices were somewhat higher than what the menu advertised, but I will only keep an eye on this for the next time. Tamal Elote was great and my son couldn't believe it was corn. He had never seen that before. This is a family-friendly place with fantastic food and agua fresca. I wish I had lived on the street so I could just put her on me.
Incredible Service. Loved the food. The pupusas are incredible and everything is made fresh.
