Today we stopped in and ordered steak and shrimp fajitas. When the fajitas came out the shrimp still had the shell and legs on it. Okay no big deal that can be peeled off. After peeling that off we notice the shrimp hasnt been deveined. So we decide to send it back. the waitress looks at us like were stupid. Then takes the meal to the back an had 3 people and a manager come back and look at the plate as if were stupid. Then all she says when she comes back is "do you want to order something else?" when we say no all we got is an "okay sorry" then the guy Im assuming was the chef came out and was talking to her as she adjusted our ticket and looks over at us and gives us a dirty look. Sorry but deveining the shrimp should be a priority not a special request. Also when a customer returns food they shouldnt be treated poorly by staff after. Been there many times before but now we wont be going back.

I am not someone who would normally ever go to a chain. However, due to circumstances several of us ate here because it was our only option that night. El Tapatio is like a Mexican Applebees (not sure if Ive ever been in an Applebees, but you get it.) We were all pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was quite good as well. We can only speak for the fajitas (yes, a little oily, but...). We all ordered a skinny marg and were asked if we wanted medium or large. We chose medium and holy guac! It was huge and if were to walk of there, we knew we could only drink half (which we did). Its not a high end place and youre not going to find my favorite coin style here but the skinny will do ya! If in a crunch like we were for time and location....eat here.

I always loved this food and have been eating at the 53rd and Wadsworth restaurant sinse it opened. In the past few months the food has been getting less appealing. We took my daughter there for her birthday last night and her food didnt even look appetizing. My chicken fajitas were horrible and way overcooked...my 3 Grandsons ordered fried shrimp kids dinners and the shrimp were so overfried that yoy couldnt even bite into them. Another Daughter ordered carne asada and it was so tough it was almost impossible to cut. We were wondering why so few people were there at what should have been a busy hour...now we know. On a better note....the waiter was superb and polite....but I wanted good food. You cant eat your waiter...Lol

Go to los arcos on Sheridan and 80th: Right off the bat bad experience, we got drinks with no straws and our glasses tasted of bleach....a table of 5 was given 1 small basket of chips to share. We sat for 20 minutes before we gave our food order. We received very messy plates and had to ask for missing components of 2 separate dishes. The waiter charged me extra for 3 enchiladas when the plate comes with 3? Great environment not so much great food or great service. I didnt have this problem at the flatirons location and the staff was very friendly and the experience was great I would recommend going to the location in superior

I recently started working near here so I decidedont to try it out. The first time I was disappointed, the tostada of civiche was good but the cocktail was disappointing. Today I decided to give it another try... and was disappointed again. I ordered a combination plate, a chile relleno, enchilada, and guacamole tostada. The enchilada was ok... the tostada was good... but the Chile relleno was NASTY. It wasnt even a Chile relleno but more like a fried wonton! Im mexican, I know what its supposed to look and taste like.... Im so dissatisfied, never coming here again!

My first experiences when this restaurant opened were excellent. It didnt take long to change. The last few times we were there the service was horrible as was the food. My wife, who never sends food back could not eat her meal because it was floating in grease. Our waiter eventually showed up and she complained only to be told that it was the tomato sauce and asked if she wanted a box, before he just walked away. I could go on, but suffice to say we wont be going back. Sad, because, they started off so well.

Beware if vegetarian. Ive eaten here twice and food is good. However, I recently ordered the El Tapatio Special with no meat and there were several pieces of meat. I had to pick through the whole thing super carefully to pick out the chunks of steak. Very frustrating and I wont go back for this reason. The vegetarian burrito is good so if you are vegetarian then I recommend you only come here if thats what you want. And you might still want to be careful there arent renegade steak chunks in there...

Best Mexican food Ive had in a long time. I cant wait to go back!! Came here about 30 minutes to close. Place was quiet with about 6 other customers in the bar area. I ordered Shredded beef enchiladas. I ordered it with their green tomatillo sauce, but ended up liking my mothers red sauce on her plate instead (she ordered the same thing). Everything on my plate was delicious, and I couldnt get enough of their amazing red enchilada sauce. I will be coming back here soon!! Happy customer =D

We would frequently go to this restaurant for take out - and they always managed to mess something up. Finally getting fed up, I took the meal back and asked to speak to the manager. I was told he was to busy to see me and would not allow the hostess to refund my money. I finally got my money back and submitted a complaint through their website. I still havent heard back. We will not be back. If you want your meal prepared correctly by people who care...dont go to this restaurant!

Services was good, atmosphere was okay (there was a Broncos game and as a person who doesnt enjoy football, the yelling can get a little annoying) but the food was pretty meh... We ordered whole fried fish and seafood soup and while the fish was good (nothing spectacular but this is Colorado) the soup was sorely missing some flavor. I know this is more of a chain restaurant now with all its locations but with the hype its gotten I was expecting something more.

Just went there for the first time and it was okay food and good service but when we were done with our food there was a cockroach on our table!!!!!! Do not eat there. Even our waiter said last year they were having a bad time with cockroaches. The manager didnt even come over to apologies. The waiter was the only one that apologized. And the manager said only a 50% off. Ewwwwwww. I am going to throw up. It was a good size one too.

Decent food but no gluten free options. I like the food but every time we ask for a gluten free menu they look like they dont have a clue. My wife and daughter have gotten sick even though weve worked hard to find something that they can eat. They seem to have flower in most everything. Tastes great but dangerous if youre allergic to Gluten. Drinks were good but the margarita had lemon peal mixed in.
