The service was okay, waiter was friendly. The atmosphere was just okay; being beside the water was the only positive. The food was awful, SO bland! I ordered a chicken fajita taco, which had no grilled onions or peppers; only chicken w/lots of lettuce, shredded cheese and a small amount of pico. I could not finish eating it for fear of gagging. I will not return.

The atmosphere is perfect there! Its an inside dining but when you sit besides the windows, it feels like if you were sitting outside, the view of the water is calming and so so enjoyable. The food and service is outstanding, I certainly recommend this restaurant.

As always, the food was excellent and the service superb. We had family visiting from New Mexico and we always fit in some El Tap. This time we were celebrating a birthday and they were extra accommodating by holding cakes for us and celebrating our birthday girl with us. It’s always a great day to go enjoy El Tap.

We have ate here numerous times! Our favorite Mexican place in gadsden. We mostly get it to go cause we’re home bodies. But orders always correct, foods always hot, ready quickly, and reasonably priced! Perfectly seasoned and when u order extra cheese they actually give it to you!! Keep up the great work!!

The food was very nice. I enjoyed the salsa and cheese dips. I got an enchilada with rice and beans. I didn’t like the sauce they had on it, but other than that is was delicious. My boyfriend got two cheese quesadillas. He liked them, and said they were the best he’s had in a while. The staff was ever so nice, and every time I was low on my drink they would come by and refill it, along with our chips and salsa. Definitely would recommend, and will come back for sure. If you’re looking for cheap place to enjoy this is the spot. The veiw was also very nice from the window seat.

Ordered tacos de carne asada….. (not street tacos) came out completely covered in foil, before I could unwrap the waitress gave a drive by obligatory “does everything look ok?” While walking away. Got the foil off only to see about 2 cups of cilantro chopped up onto 3 tacos. No exaggeration. The menu description has no mention of cilantro. I tried to clear enough to possibly eat it. (Nope it still tastes like soap to me) I pointed out to the waitress that it doesn’t say that it comes with cilantro on the menu, she immediately wanted to argue, but said what can I bring you? So I ordered enchiladas rancheros, with beef. Ok, so basic Mexican/Tex mex dish. Raised in Texas and I know Mexican food…. this is not it. Server basically threw my plate in front of me, it looked like a pile of slop. I feel sorry for the people who live in that area and have never experienced good Mexican food. My daughter’s taquitos were dry and definitely not worth eating. Horrible food, rude server. Do not recommend. The pile of cilantro in pic is half of what was on 1 of the tacos. Not to mention the tomatillo sauce wasn’t given with the order either. When they brought my replacement plate they didn’t even give me hot rice.
