Truly authentic Mexican cuisine, crazy delicious, super satisfying, and very well priced. If your going to do Mexican, do it right, go to El Tapatio.

First time trying this place. Everything was really good, very fresh and well prepared and seasoned. I highly recommend the chili relleno, yum! Be prepared to wait for your food though. They are not quick! But worth waiting for. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

I don’t recommend you come here. The food is salty and didn’t seem fresh, the price was too high for the quality of the food. I ordered tostadas and they were not crunchy as I’m used to, also the servers claimed to be “too busy”...Read More
