Vibe: Dated decor ruins ambiance
The ambiance is far from inviting and falls flat on the elements vital for a great dining environment. Cramped interiors add to the discomfort of an already dated and dark space. The setting is far from ideal for date nights with the racket from the rowdy crowd drowning out intimate conversations. The only saving grace is a lively buzz that often graces weekends.
Great Buzz
Lively atmosphere; packed with waiting crowds on weekends, full parking.
Okay Drinks
Average drink experiences noted, with both positives and negatives.
Bad Ambiance
Outdated, dark, and cramped space lowers the quality of the ambiance.
Perks: Parking woes but attentive service
Perks at La Capilla Mexican are a mixed bag. The major annoyance seems to be the lack of ample parking, with diners often left wandering in search for a convenient spot. Moreover, vegetarians are left wanting for better choices, and large groups potentially disillusioned with the inability to make reservations. The silver lining, however, lies in the staff's diligent service – their attentiveness and speed provide some level of customer satisfaction.
Okay Service
Service quality varies; sometimes attentive and fast, other times slow or average.
Bad For Groups
Inability to make reservations for a large party left long-time customers upset.
