Chapala Mexican Restaurant Is No More

Yesterday I made the sad discovery that a part of my life for the last 14 years is gone for good.

Yesterday afternoon I took a nostalgia drive. I drove by the building at 1155 Terr Nova Boulevard in Mountain View, California. In 1999 I began my 8 year career at Telewave, Inc. there. When I looked into the area where my office once was I got especially sad.

I then drove down Shoreline Boulevard to a strip mall near the office. At least once a week I would go to eat lunch at Chapala Mexican Restaurant. It was inexpensive and the food was decent. The staff was really friendly and nice. I would order the number six plate and a diet coke.

I made the sad discovery that Chapala Mexican Restaurant no longer exists. It was bought out by another restaurant company. It is now a Dickey's Bar B Que.

A part of my life is gone forever.

Here is some information on Chapala Mexican Restaurant as follows:

The food is excellent - salads are fresh, soup is made from scratch. They are very accommodating if you have questions about the menu, or want something a little different from the menu. It's family owned. The prices are very reasonable. This restaurant is on the west side of 101, close to Shoreline Amphitheatre and is a great place to...More
