I just had a really good lunch here! The food was authentic and excellent, my server was super nice and the rest of the staff was very helpful as well! They made sure my food was exactly the way I wanted it and it was really good. Great atmosphere too. The chips and salsa were delicious!

El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant is an absolute gem! The food was nothing short of amazing. The cheesy, flavorful chicken dish was perfectly cooked and packed with vibrant spices, and the steak with fries was juicy and delicious. The burrito smothered in melted cheese with a side of fluffy rice and creamy beans was pure comfort food at its best. The atmosphere was warm and authentic, with colorful traditional decor that made the dining experience feel like a cultural celebration. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food bursting with flavor, El Tapatio is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Wow. What a gem! The lunch special's fajita burrito was AMAZING! I love the flavor of the steak. 10/10 would recommend. And for only 10? You can't beat that pricing nowadays. Lunch specials for the win!
