Reviews

Stopped in for a late dinner.
Good parking.
Restaurant is roomy and decorated well.
Tables booths and a bar.
Large menu.
Good margarita selection.
Portion size was good.
Pricing was mid level- good portion size for what you pay.
Staff friendly and attentive.
Good tasting rice and beans.
Chicken burrito was diced and had a nice flavor when mixed with the sour cream and guacamole.
More than I could eat.
The polo chicken steak has good flavor and chicken still hot and moist inside.
A little slice of lime to twist on it would make it even better.
Overall a really good meal.
I wish the chips came with a side of the beans in addition to the salsa.
Would come back if in the area!


Excellent experience here! The only con was they wouldn’t allow us to sit outside 1 hr and 20 mins before close because it was “closed” even though it was loaded with other customers. Food was excellent and so was the margarita.
Service and atmosphere was nice as well!


Wife & I have been coming here for many years.
Can’t comment on all of their dishes, but these two are guaranteed to deliver.
Queso fundido for an appetizer and the molcajete combo to share for the main.
It’s a lot of food and always have extra to take home for lunch the next day.
It’s absolutely delicious.
Meat is tender, juicy and flavorful.
Molcajete comes in a hot pot keeping the food warm the entire time.
Free starter of crisp chips and salsa.
One giant margarita should be sufficient for two mortal men. We have tried other El Tapatio locations, but this one is better than the others.
