It's always a pleasure to visit such a warm welcoming fast-food place. And the coolest thing about Chiapas is u get to built ur own meal. The food is fresh, no really the food is fresh and too tasty and too nice to eat. Well done Chiapas staff. Keep up da good work.
Thursday was my first visit to Chiapas's. Staff were awesome and the food yum yum delicious. Just missed the option of coffees, but the waitress was happy to obtain from the coffee shop in the Zone. Thank you.
We ordered a beef burrito and crispy chicken taco. 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!
Excellent service and the most delicious and fresh food. I eat here regularly
The amount of guacamole and meat is really a big negative for this restaurant. Although I love the food and it’s authentic Mexican taste, I can not help but be repulsed by the dismal portion sizes which are frankly embarrassing and not very Mexican.
I love this place. It’s quick and efficient. Food is always good. Very flavorful food. I think prices are very reasonable and good food portions. Love the burrito bowls.

I love Chiapas. It’s become a tradition for me and my boyfriend to get burritos and then walk down to the parking lot and eat in the car. We used to take the burritos home but we moved all the way to Bryanston so it would be cold if we drove home, but we kind of love the car tradition now. I wish Chiapas was all over the place. - Pulled beef burrito squad.
I got a little lost trying to find the place. Finally found it and the food was great and the service was okay. Bought two burrito bowls (sit in) and bought two more plus a burrito wrap for the road. The one complaint I have is that the lady filling my burrito bowls seemed to put too little portions in my bowls compared to my partner's and other "bigger" customers (I'm on the smaller side) - as if assuming I do not eat a lot (which I do)
Veg burrito bowl is incredible! Loved everything about it. Would have enjoyed even more if we didn't use plastic cutlery but other than that it's a must for anyone in the area!
I ordered the burrito bowl with chicken, the portion is quite big and very affordable. All the ingredients were fresh and worked well together. Staff are patient and very friendly.
Decided to try this place for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Even though it is a fast food place, staff was friendly, food was better than I had expected and ambience was decent for a fast food / take-away place. Will definitely recommend it if you are looking to grab some quick Mexican grub. Portion sizes are decent and Prices are reasonable too.
I am vegan and Chiapas is my go to. The quality of food is constantly amazing especially their guacamole. I always get the nachos with veggies, tomato salsa, corn salsa, rice, lettuce and guacamole. The staff are always friendly. I would just recommend that they add desserts to the meu☺️
Delicious, fresh, Mexican food. Their prices are very reasonable, and their portions are very generous.
We visited on a Sunday at lunch time, so no vibe, but the lady who was serving us was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend a visit there, we will be back soon!
The food was divine! Such a great eating experience. And it's affordable. The tacos here are just delectable. The service however leaves much to be desired. I would go back, just for those tacos.
Really good, fresh Mexican food. Good variety of options at an affordable cost. I keep coming back.
Amazing Mexican food, wide variety of fresh take aways or eat in , great prices , very friendly and efficient staff !
Love their crunchy tacos. Not 100% authentic but its still got good enough flavour. Love the price, too. Under R100 per meal. Had a good first & second experience here.
The staff is overworked like many, sadly, but if you are friendly they are friendly. I don't think the negative reviews about the staff are necessarily true. Everyone is going through a lot, just be as friendly as you can. The lady who helped us was very kind and acomodating with our order and we "customized" a few things - she was totally fine with it.
If there is one negative point, I don't like that they charge R10 for guacamole. In a country that has so many avocados, come on. Be like Chipotle in flavour and populatiry... but don't be like Chipotle and charge extra for guac.
Chiapas generally makes good food, but their consistency seems to be an issue. At my last visit, some of the ingredients I.e sour cream and tomatoes) weren’t available, the explanation being “ we have run out”. My Nachos clearly clogged in the fryer so they weren’t as crispy as usually- apart from the fact that they stuck to each other, making the eating a little difficult. The melted cheese also stuck to the lid, which I hadn’t experienced before. There is a sign that suggests that criticism should be communicated via email, but since it was suggested at a previous occasion that I was merely trying to solicit a free meal, I’m rather posting this publicly this time.
Earlier review (2021) - There was a time where their Nachos tasted stale, but I am glad to say that Chiapas is back to serving the best Nachos in Joburg. Total waiting time for food is also very convenient. The chicken can be a little dry, the pulled beef being much better. Jalapeños would also be a welcome option.
One of my favourite Mexican spots. The build your own... Element of it is really nice. I love the nachos and the crispy tacos and the pulled beef is my favourite topping! I would highly recommend going here if you enjoy Mexican food. The service is also great.
Awesome eatery experience. So simple and full of flavour. Friendly and helpful staff, clean space and fast service! Coming come back for more, thank you Lindy!
The burrito is very nice I really enjoyed my meal here and I like how caring the staff are they ask specifically if you want cheese melted or how much of an item you want it’s very nice
My first time eating here and the experience was daunting.
Let’s start of by saying it’s #halaal certified
You aren’t sure what goes where or what to do and the lady behind the counter seems to have a hard time hearing between me having a mask on and the music being played and a loud level.
However once we got over the whole we can’t hear each other issue, the staff member does walk you trough the process of how to get the perfect meal.
I got the the hard taco with steak.
It’s absolutely mouthwatering and made my tummy happy.
The staff love their jobs ❤️💜 big plus.
Will I go back?
