So far so good! Beautiful and colorful restaurant! The servers were great. Friendly and attentive. The food was real good. Not dry, lots of flavor, and plenty of food. I liked this place and will visit them again. You should too and let me know ow what you think.
Good food. We eat there often. We love the fajita nachos and margaritas. Service is great and food is quickly served
My wife and I visited El Tapatio last night for dinner. I have to say, we were both disappointed in the tea; it was more like colored water with a little hint of flavor that was barely detectable. The food, however, was amazing. The service was also top notch! We will both definitely be visiting again! Quickly became our favorite restaurant.
Nice late lunch after a two hour car ride. Huge menu take out or dinner in. My wife had enchiladas Verde and I had the Tapatio tortilla special, chicken, beef and shrimp. Meals come with rice and refried beans, mildly seasoned. Great service, drinks up quick and they have beer or wine besides Pepsi fountain drinks. Two big meals with drinks reasonably priced. Not as spicy and seasoned as some of the other places I've been, but good food. Quantity of food was great. We'll be back with more family sometime.
