Frozen Margaritas were terrible. 1/3 liquid, 2/3 tasteless foamy slush served in a plastic marg glass. The portions were huge but the food was pretty bland. The chicken enchilada tasted a lot like the beef burrito. rice was good. the bar area was a good place to watch a game. nice stools, foot rest ledge, and lots of TVs very visible. overall appearance of the entire restaurant was pretty cool. The bar tender seemed really put out (annoyed) from the get go. we were the only 2 people there and service was slow and infrequent. The bar tender seemed even more annoyed when we pulled out the coupon from the website. I want this place to be good but they need to polish up the margs, make the food a little more distinct (offer sauces maybe), and service improve a little.

Salsa is not the usual chunky style. Its more like a thick tomatoe juice with lots of onions, spring onions, and cilantro in it. Dont really care for raw onions but still found it OK but thats just me. I found the service was top notch on my visit(thank you rowley). Chille con queso was excellent, the chimichanga with Carnitas(pulled pork) was pretty good although smaller than what I expected. Rice and beans were pretty good too. Overall I was happy with the whole visit. If you truly love be Mexican food from all walks then you wont be dissapointed.

I am a "regular" @el tapatio and love the place. The staff are top shelf, very attentive, very helpful and just plain good people. To the people complaining about the frozen margarita, Id suggest the regular margarita without ice. Mine have never tasted watery. The carne asada, chicken mole, chili verde, and camarones de ajo (?),are all great as far as Im concerned, as are their appetizers, especially the wings diablo. Owners are always there and have done a terrific job with training their staff. On a scale of five stars I give el tapatio "seven"!

The chips are terrible, and the salsa tastes like pasta sauce. Had a frozen margarita which tasted like it had no alcohol at all, and was very bland. The food we hoped was going to be better, but it was also tasteless. Had to use two portion of sour cream to make it good. I will say the wait staff was friendly. That was the only good thing about this place

Had a great experience dining here. The manager was very sweet and pleasant and overall the service was great. The salsa served with the chips tasted fresh. The food was delivered quickly and the portion size was huge (well worth the money). The ambiance was great and kid-friendly. I highly recommend this place to those with a craving for Mexican cuisine.

A decent Mexican place in my old home town, El Tapatio serves solid if not great fare. Mostly I was sad to discover the margaritas were pretty watery. The burritos, however, were large and tasty, so maybe its a wash. All in all, El Tapatio is a strong addition to the restaurants in the area.

Warm nachos with your own yummy salsa as soon as you arrive at your table. Delicious vegetarian burritos. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff with his prices and lots of parking!

If youre gonna go here, get something you can easily have at home (like tacos or nachos). It wont be worth the money if you do. Otherwise, very good
