But we wanted to see if we could find something closer and that could maybe satisfy our taco cravings. We came around 3 so it was just winding down the lunch crowd. We had 2 orders of steak tacos, an order of calamari, and I ordered the chicken mole. The steak tacos come with 4. We asked for some spicy hot sauce and they brought us some house made stuff. Hot. Fantastic flavor. The chicken mole was a thin cutlet of chicken breast. I was a bit bummed because I usually get it with bone in thighs or legs. Buuut the cutlet was super tender. The molé sauce was amazing. Best molé I've had yet. Had a bit of a kick to it The calamari app was in the top 5% of all the calamari apps we've ever tried. Will definitely get them again if I'm here. I liked the interior decorations and this place had ample private parking.

My wife and I stopped in during the World Cup, and by pure luck we had the place almost entirely to…read moreourselves. It was a quiet afternoon, so instead of feeling awkward, it turned into a really enjoyable visit. The staff had the match on, and before long we were all watching together. A couple of goals were scored while we were there, and everyone celebrated for a moment before getting back to work. It gave the restaurant a fun, relaxed atmosphere that you don't usually get. I ordered the Burrito Fajita, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. It was generously portioned, served hot, and had plenty of grilled chicken, peppers, and onions. The rice and beans on the side rounded everything out nicely. Nothing about the meal disappointed me. If I'm being fair, restaurants like El Tapatio have a lot of competition. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants around Rhode Island serving very similar menus, and the differences often come down to execution more than originality. That's not a knock on this place. It's simply the reality of the genre. The food here was solid, well prepared, and satisfying, even if there wasn't one particular dish that made me think, "I've never had anything like this before." Where El Tapatio really stood out was the service. Everyone was genuinely friendly without hovering over the table, our food came out quickly, and they made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was also spotless, which is something I always notice. Would I come back? Absolutely. Maybe it won't reinvent Mexican food, but it doesn't need to. Sometimes all you want is a clean restaurant, good service, a generous meal, and people who make you feel at home. On that front, El Tapatio delivered.

The pics speak for themselves I think. The drinks are huge and let me say they have a heavy pour there. They even let me tweak their spicy drink to make it a weird version of a Bloody Mary. the salsa and chips are complimentary, which I love. And both delicious. The chips are thin lightly salted and warm! Yes!!! I got the fajita. It was exactly what I was expecting and wanted. Nicely seasoned tender steak and chicken strips on slightly charred onions and peppers. If I had to complain here, it'd be I like a ton of onions and peppers. Their's is more meat heavy. Not really compliant though, am I right?! Everyone else enjoyed their meals and I have to say it's a ton of food. Not the cheapest place but I feel fair for what you get and yummy. With 7 boozy drinks, 4 entrees and couple extra "side items" ie. A horchata etc it came to about $50pp. It would've been 1/2 that without the boozy drinks for sure. Anyhoo.... Do I recommend? Absolutely! We will be back to eat and drink up another evening until our hearts content. In the meantime, enjoy your meals and... CHEERS!

The Carnitas taco was delicious, but for $7.15, I can make several pounds of outstanding shredded pork butt. The Birria taco ($8.25) was less enjoyable, as the beef was dry and really could have used some consommé (which is usually served with Birria...but not here). Both tacos were a single corn tortilla, which quickly became too soggy to support the filling. Despite the small operation, which does a lot of takeout, counter service was fairly quick. The ambiance is perhaps best described as quaint food truck/street fare made with love...at fine dining prices.

They prepare the food in front of you and have a couple tables so you can eat your food inside. The tongue taco was flavorful and tender, and the chunks were big which I really enjoyed. The quesadilla was good, but the way it was rolled up reminded me a lot of a burrito. I wish I had asked for sour cream because that would've made it so much better. I couldn't decide whether I wanted steak or chicken, so I asked for half and half. Both were very tender, but I did like the steak better. There is plenty of parking.

Our waitress brought over water and chips and salsa and gave us a few moments to review the menu. We ordered drinks, a steak quesadilla, and the rib eye tacos and fish tacos. Food came out quick and the staff were incredibly attentive. The steak quesadilla was yummy but I wish they had the sour cream and salsa or something on the side for it. It was only drizzled on top but since they were overlapping, it didn't feel like there was enough. But that's 10000% just personal preference! it was still very delicious! The cabo fish tacos were so yummy, we got them fried and they had a good crisp to is. But the star was the rib eye tacos. SO good! the green guacamole sauce that comes with it paired so well with the rib eye flavor. Hands down my favorite of the night! both orders of tacos also came with beans and rice. We definitely had leftovers for the next day! Highly recommend this location! Staff was incredible, parking is easy, food was great!
