Review by Eric Shields

La Tapatia is my go-to spot for authentic Mexican comfort food! 🌮 The cozy atmosphere paired with fast service makes it perfect for a quick bite or a laid-back dinner. I absolutely love their lunch specials - great value at around $10-12, especially the crunchy tacos and refried beans!

The green salsa is a must-try, and their happy hour drinks hit the spot. The only downside is that it can get a bit warm inside, but the friendly staff more than makes up for it. Highly recommend for families and groups alike! Can’t wait to go back! ❤️
