El Tapatio has become my go-to for casual Mexican bites around town! 🌮 Their breakfast burrito truly stands out - packed with fresh ingredients and generous guacamole, it's simply delicious. I also enjoyed the milanesa for lunch; tender with a flavor-packed breading.

The atmosphere is cozy and family-friendly, perfect for a quick meal or laid-back gathering. I appreciate the nice touch that guacamole comes included with the flautas - no extra charge! Just a heads up, the online ordering seems to be off the table lately... Still, I’ll definitely be back for more yummy meals soon! 😊
