We’re so impressed by this place! Not only is the food phenomenal, this was the most kid-friendly service we’ve ever experienced at a restaurant! My husband and I came for Sunday brunch with our 1-year-old son. Right away, the older gentleman set us up with a high chair, closed to-go cup of water, and asked if our baby would be interested in some sweet salsa with tortilla chips. The kitchen specifically made the salsa, warm, without it being spicy. Our son was hesitant about it at first but asked for more after finally trying it.

Excellent food!!!!! We got the tacos platter and the flautas, PHENOMENAL! The atmosphere was excellent, we went for lunch and there was ample seating. Our food came out in a very timely manner and we left with full and happy bellies! Will definitely be returning!

I had high expectations for this Mexican restaurant and was really looking forward to trying it, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The margarita was bland, and the food portions were surprisingly small for the price. What made it worse was the service — we felt rushed the entire time by our server, which took away from what should have been an enjoyable dining experience. Instead of ordering more, we decided not to. Sadly, we won’t be returning and would not recommend this place based on our experience.

Always wanted to try this place since it is so close to home & really happy we did tonight! The food was good, the margarita hit the spot ( it was good and strong) but the service was outstanding! Had the pleasure of meeting Ruby our server and the manager Manny & they were both so friendly and welcoming. Ruby was phenomenal the highlight of our night I would highly recommend El Tapatio!
