Un excelente restaurante de comida mexicana. Muy bien ambientado, con una linda panorámica para apreciar mientras se come. Los platos son muy buenos y tienen una gran variedad. El precio promedio de plato es de 38mil. También tienen opciones para 2 personas que cuesta 59mil y la porción es la adecuada. Al ser temática mexicana hay sombreros que pueden ser usados para las fotos. En día de semana es poco concurrido pero el fin de semana reservar es una buena opción.

Es un buen sitio, el sabor de la comida está bien y tiene un ligero ambiente mejicano pero le hace falta un poco más , solo maneja un tipo de ají o de picante y dan muy poco, de hecho me tocó solicitarlo al mesero porque no lo ponen en la mesa. . . La temperatura de la comida es perfecta !

Lugar muy lindo, con buena vista, excelente ambiente, gran servicio. La comida es, de verdad, deliciosa. Costos medianos y lo valen completamente. Recomiendo el "Burrito Chapultepec", la "Quesadilla de Queso" y la limonada natural con ingredientes y cantidades en su punto (imagenes), las combinaciones de los Nachos que acompañan el plato con guacamole, poco de gallo y Sour Cream, son de locura. Volveré si o si a Chacalacas en Pacífic Mall

Restaurante mexicano en la ciudad de cali con una carta bastante amplia y sobre todo platos muy generosos. Es un lugar agradable para visitar en familia y compartir algunos platos. No es lo mejor de la comida mexicana pero igual cumple su propósito. Regularmente tiene promociones en las tardes que se pueden aprovechar.

Easy laid back ambient with delicious food and fast attention make it one of the good places to have a great Mexican dinner. The menu has something for every one but for sure I enjoyed the fresh tamarind water. The only thing that I would recommend is too dress light clothes as it's an open space with no air conditioners. To me it's great but I know I it can be not so pleasant to other people.
