El Chapos Taqueria, Maitland
El Chapos Taqueria is a Mexican gem located on High Street in Maitland.
Their menu is iconic with modern twists like jalapeno poppers and pork belly bites, but it wouldn’t be a true Mexican restaurant without their classics like guacamole and chips, chimichanga and traditional burritos.
Their cocktail menu is also a key attribute, with an impressive variety of margaritas on offer as well as classics like espresso martini, cosmopolitan and amaretto sour.
