Overall, the food was not bad, but it did not taste as authentic as I expected. The Margarita that I ordered was much sweeter than I expected and resembled lemonade. I really did not detect any or very little tequila. Overall, it could have been a much better experience.

The food was just okay. The salsa tasted closer to spaghetti sauce. We got a dish that was essentially nachos, but they were lacking. I got the verde enchiladas, which were good but nothing to write home about. My husband ate the fajitas locos, which were solid but not great. Overall it was okay but each meal lacked flavor.

Amazing food, fast and extremely friendly staff and the best Micholata I have had since I lived in Denver! Truly a hidden gem! We will definitely be returning!

Met a friend here for lunch and got a burrito that was Huge, yet tasted good. I could only eat half of it, and the leftover half was just as good. The chorizo was just a tad crunchy, but everything else about it was great. Our waiter was super attentive and very polite and efficient. The atmosphere was good, I will have to come back to see what it’s like in the evening.

Small local place with great food and friendly atmosphere. The strawberry lemonade was VERY sweet so I would probably ask for half the fruit addition or order a different drink if you don’t like overly sweet.

THIS PLACE IS SPECIAL TO ME ! THE FOOD IS OUTRAGEOUS !!!!!!!!!!!! …I MEAN : WOW !!! I CANT GIVE “EL TAPATIO” ENOUGH STARS !!! THE SERVICE IS SUPER PROFFESIONAL AND A VERY CLEAN PLACE ! IF I WAS GOING TO ADD SOMETHING TO THIS PLACE ITS A LITTLE BIT LOUDER MEXICAN MUSIC ! ( THEY HAD IT BUT A LIL TOO LOW ) I LOVE RANCHERAS , ROMANTIC AND MEXICAN TYPICAL MUSIC WHILE ENJOYING FINE MEXICAN CUISINE ! HEY ! LOVE THIS PLACE ! CANT WAIT TO GO BACK ! ( THE BEER WAS COLD AND THE PRICES JUST RIGHT , THE CHIPS & MILD SAUCE WERE DELICIOUS , ( WISH THEY HAD HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE FOR ” EL MERO MERO ” ( EXTRA HOT ) BUT THEY HAD ” EL YUCATECO ” HABANERO , WICH IS HOT ENOUGH TO START MY TRUCK ! CANT ASK FOR ANYTHING ELSE ! THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY ! QUE VIVA LA RAZA ! QUE VIVA MEXICO LINDO !

We love El Tapatio-carnitas are delicous, ask for hot salsa and warm beans! Service is excellent – it’s becoming our favorite restaurant- and we are from San Diego so we know Mexican food. Highly recommend

Authentic and affordable. I’ve never visited before but when walking in people were leaving with take out and the place was packed inside. That was the first good sign. The menu was extensive with every option you could want. Prices were great too. I got the fajitas which were delicious. Also got the fried ice cream that was huge and awesome.
