This place is the spot to go to if you're craving tacos! Or a Mexican store with a restaurant in the far back. Been here a few times and the tacos are fantastic! I ordered Al pastor, asada, and chicharrón en salsa which where all good! Wife got tamales and daughter got gorditas with beans and cheese. It's a little small but nice decor in the walls. They serve beer too which is a plus! Will be back regularly. read more

This place has declined in customer service. How do you make customers wait when you have the staff. Was the place to go for everything. I'd recommend Talpa they seem to out do Tapatia in everything now. Their restaurant is ok but that's about it. Ya valen Ver*a! read more

I will give it a 5, but again I thought the drinks were pricy. I still need to try the tacos. this restaurant is like a whole on the wall. something different and worth the experience. read more

Great food, prompt service and family ambiance. This is in the market and the fruit and dessert cups are up front. It's becoming a staple for us. The butcher in the market is very well done. read more

This place has some awesome Birria tacos!!! Just so delicious. The order brings 3 tacos. They do have a full menu available and everything I've had is good. The restaurant is set behind the supermarket so just walk to the back and you'll see some tables and the area where you order your food from. The crew is friendly but I'm not sure if they speak English so be aware. Great food, great taste woth great prices!!! read more

The best breakfast burritos in town! Bring your best Spanish or order online if you're "no español"!

Came here during my lunch, ordered 3 carne asada tacos and a coke. Service was quick, got my food within 10-15 minutes. Now for the food.. once I got back to work I went to bite my taco and I got a mouth full of fat and tendon which is really tough to chew. I basically paid for tendon and fat. What they do is cut the bad parts of the meat and cut it in tiny pieces so you can't really tell what it is, but once your chewing it you can definitely tell it's tendon and fat. I ended up having to pick off the meat and just eat the meat off the taco because I didn't want to have to spit out the tendon and fat. Very disappointing and I probably won't be back. read more

Carniceria Tapatia - Carne Asada burrito..1/2 I couldn't wait. Very good - Grocery Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

Very good store, they have variety of products and the prices are good. Inside you will find a Taqueria in the back which also has dinner plates, Tortas, Tacos, Burritos. Etc. Something I thought was cool was the tacos have different sizes "Chico" or "grande". The milanesa torta came with a huge piece of meat and it was different bread from the regular tortas I have had at Las Tortas Locas. I just didn't like my piece of meat was not breaded. It was a huge torta tho so I'll keep all the stars :) From the outside, the store looks small. But inside there is not only a taqueria. There is a La Michocana in the front with Chamoyada, Mangoyada, ice cream, Etc. This Carniceria is huge and offers so many different food options. Don't judge from the outside. This is a great store. read more

One of the best authentic Mexican around. Chorizo is excellent. Asada is very good. Chips and salsa are also excellent. Great location. read more

Great food always. l highly recommend their tacos and birria tacos. They do get pretty busy and you might have to wait a bit for your food but don't worry, it's worth it. read more

You are greeted at the front door with tamales- their most popular item! This business includes a great restaurant in the back for casual dining, a grocery store with meat market, fresh veggies & small bakery. Also lots of ice cream up front. Grocery prices are a little high but good selection. Food from restaurant is delicious. I'll definitely be back. read more

Tried this place out since we're new in the area and the lady was craving some Mexican food. It's a restaurant, grocery, butcher, and check cash out store. It's pretty cool since they have a variety of items. The food is pretty ok but I don't think we got any of their specialty's. I tried asking for some recommendations but there's a bit of a language barrier. The menu is in English though and they understood what I wanted so no real issues aside from them no being able to recommend me anything. They have menu screens on the wall so you can see what they have but they don't show their dinner plates so we assumed they weren't made anymore. Grabbed a menu pamphlet and the dinner plates are there they just don't show up on the menu screens they have at the restaurant. The wings are amazing with the size but as you can see the bed of fries are soggy so that's my only issue with it. The wings are just salt and pepper so no Buffalo or any other seasonings. The steak was pretty good nicely seasoned and tender. I definitely need to try this place again for their dinner plates since that seems to be where they specialized. read more

Visited yesterday to try the food after my bf recommended it, and I was not disappointed! Very authentic. I had a torta de carne asada, the steak was delicious and the bread was perfectly toasted. They have a good assortment of Mexican drinks, do not skip out on the horchata, it's the best I've had since moving to Georgia. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Tacos are awesome, but the gordita is the Power Play here. Prior to coming here i thought a gordita was a word Taco B made up. Go for the barbacoa gordita and a mexican coke. read more

I am pleased with the delivery -the restaurant is some distance from my house but the order arrived in a reasonable time frame.The food was hot and the portions were very generous. I would give Carniceria Tapatia a definite thumbs up. read more

We were at Big Lots & stopped in to pick up some tortillas for dinner. The shoppers reminded me of the low rent types you see at Wal-Mart but in another country, since everyone (except us) was speaking Spanish. Got in line and waited behind a couple that held up the line by questioning each item after it was rung up. WTF people! There were really bad kids there in line behind us and I wanted to leave. Betsy convinced me to stay though, because we needed the tortillas. The cashier was very nice despite the madness around her and she did speak English also. We got our shit & left. Felt like I needed a bath cause of all the germy kids. read more

The best authentic Chile Pablanos I've had some nice my mother-in-law passed away. She lived in Mexico. The Pozole is also amazing. I wish this place would make homemade tortillas though. I hate the store bought reheated stuff. It's so simple to make and would make this for me a premier spot. read more

We recently relocated back to Gainesville from Arizona and have been looking for great Mexican food. Don't underestimate this grocery/eatery restaurant. We ordered breakfast burritos which were fresh, and so big that that my wife could only eat half. I had a chorizo, potato, egg burrito - and it had to weigh two pounds. Everything about the meal from the burrito skin to the sausage is authentic Mexican. Will definitely return to see how they do with additional items on their menu. Keep up the good work. read more

Delicious breakfast burritos, chips and salsa brought to the table, and a stocked salsa bar with (including guacamole!). It was also very reasonably priced. There are plenty of tables/seating inside in the cafe area. We just had a couple of the same tocino/huevos burritos (bacon, eggs, cheese) and added stuff from the salsa bar. They were great, and everything else we saw coming out of the kitchen looked just as good. We definitely want to go back to try more! read more

I stopped in to get the guys from work and I some steak burritos that they were raving about. I hadn't ever heard of this place but word travels fast if you have good food. Walking into the place all I see is groceries and a butcher shop. I make my way to the back and see the window to place my order and a setting area that was full of about 15 people. A good sign. The wait wasn't too bad and I was out the door in about 15 minutes. Once I got back I was instructed that once I picked up my burrito that I couldn't set it down. I had to go all in. Lol. No problem. The burrito was one of the best I have ever had. The steak was extremely tender and everything else was really fresh tasting. I recommend that you get some of the guacamole salad off of the salsa bar. It gives it an added kick. All this for around 7.50. On Tuesday you can nab one for around $6. You will not be sorry. read more

We bought some Mexican candy for the children--they loved the peanut marzipan best, and were intrigued by the chili sugar and tamarind gummies. We took home samples of all the tamales on offer--there were chicken, pork, beef, sweet corn, and jalapeno and cheese. Each kind was absolutely delicious--the sweet corn was my favorite. These tamales have a flavor you can only find in an authentic Mexican tamale--and the texture was perfect. The tacos for sale in the cafe were out of this world. Honestly, I have never had a better tasting taco than their grilled chicken on a corn tortilla...plus there were 10 different condiments: various fresh salsas, fresh sliced limes, cilantro, pickled spicy peppers, onions etc...and THEN we found the most wonderful handmade chorizo at the carniceria, along with fresh green cactus and frying cheese from the produce and dairy sections. Frying the chorizo for supper tonight filled my house with a smell so heavenly--even my picky kid couldn't resist and loved it! We are going to go back soon for more of their fantastic authentic Mexican food--and to further explore the more exotic offerings at the carniceria. The prices are very reasonable for everything. I am hard to please, but this spot is my new favorite Gainesville fine food fix. read more

This market was very clean, and had a wide variety of foods I was unfamiliar with. I bought some of them, and they turned out to be delicious. Very helpful staff, and cashiers. I am White and most shoppers were Hispanic, but that shouldn't matter. Judging people because of their culture and ethnicity is wrong. I enjoyed my experience and plan to go back! read more

This is my favorite taqueria in a grocery store style restaurant. The restaurant is in the back of the store. What sets this place apart from all other taco joints in town is the salsa bar. 7 days a week they have a cold bar loaded with self serve taco toppings. I always get tacos but I have seen some tasty looking dishes come out to other patrons. This is one of the only places in town were you can get all the fresh salsa and guacamole you want on your tacos and walk out full on less than $5. read more
