My new favorite Mexican spot! I love that it's family owned and they've been in business for a…read morewhile. The customer loyalty & how busy it gets proves they're definitely a town favorite. When you enter there's a seating area of booths to the left. If you continue further there's another little space of seats, a full L shaped bar, and more seating in the bar area as well as an outside patio with seating. I definitely recommend coming before dinner time. If you come for dinner be prepared to wait. If you want to eat here with a large party I recommend asking about a reservation otherwise I'd advise against due to how busy it gets! I'm not a fav of the chips & salsa as the salsa isn't flavorful or chunky enough to me. For those like myself who prefer spice & more flavor I recommend getting their salsa picante & mixing the 2, so much better! Their margaritas are good, I prefer the blood orange vest but they have a large selection of marg flavors and a full bar. For food I've had the nachos, tamales, enchiladas (I recommend the enchiladas de pollo verdes), tacos, and chimichanga. I got my parents hooked on the tamales! I love that they serve them as not a lot of Mexican restaurants do here & I love that they put meat both inside and on top of them. The establishment is always clean, the staff is always friendly & welcoming, and you can tell theirs homemade recipes coming out of the kitchen. I recommend ending your meal with the churros! Overall their price point, staff efficiency, and the consistency with the food makes this the best Mexican restaurant I've had in the area which is why I keep coming back & would bring guests here.

I'm really sad to have to do this but I think people should be warned. La Tapatía has been my…read morefavorite in the area for quite a while. I love their food. However, an incident happened recently that has now complicated my love for them. I ordered two burritos for delivery recently and one ended up being wrong. It was supposed to be a Burrito Americano with shredded chicken, something I've had before. What came had ground beef and no red sauce, so I figured it was an entirely different burrito and called to let them know mine might have been swapped with someone else's. I understood that there was a good chance it wasn't getting replaced because I couldn't drive up to get another one, and yes that ended up being the case, but what got me was the guy on the phone said "oh sorry, on our tablets where we receive orders, we couldn't see that you made a meat selection so we just chose one." I confirmed that wasn't the case on my end. So one, that's crazy. Two, we've ordered from them before and that hasn't been a problem. Three, if that's true, how am I supposed to trust that I'll ever get what I ordered? So I don't know if they're not taking responsibility for their mix up for if they have a new system that's going to cause a lot of issues. But either way, I'm not thrilled and I'm probably done with them.

Went there for breakfast. Yes breakfast and it was delicious. It's new for them so I hope…read morecustomers find them for a delicious breakfast burrito or waffles or almost anything you could want.

This…read morerestaurant is located right next to soccer fields, a sand volleyball area and a movie theatre/entertainment center. So, as you might expect, the parking lots are generally pretty full and the restaurant is busy. But, we are always greeted, seated and served with a smile. This time on a Sunday early evening, they also had a mariachi band going through the dining area, which made it extra festive. The strawberry daiquiri was one of the best we have had and the Modelo draft was cold and refreshing. The complimentary chips are crispy and the salsa is fresh and flavorful. The food was delivered hot and delicious. We all enjoyed our meals: chicken nachos, steak fajitas, steak burrito and birria tacos. Tomorrow is cinco de mayo, so I would expect this place to be hopping!

The staff is super nice and helpful - always ready to provide recommendations and answer questions. They have a rooftop patio (we haven't sat up there yet), lower level patio (dog friendly) and then their giant indoor restaurant and bar area. We have had several different dishes now and they are all good. They do not skimp on size, so come hungry or prepare to take some home with you. We have sat on the patio a few times as we love to bring our pup with us. You can watch the volleyball teams play or see what's happening on the soccer field. They do offer the largest margarita I think I have ever had and it's incredibly tasty - cucumber lime skinny marg is the go-to!

It's like a fabric walk-through with a sign taped on it says yes, we are open. And then you keep walking through and there's a middle area with a bunch of boots and then a more open seating area in the third section. We were kind of separated from everyone at the service wasn't great. We never got water when I got there. The server never approached me or asked if I wanted anything and I had arrived much later than everyone else. They only took our food order and she never came back We've been trying new Mexican restaurants every month to find our favorite and just to keep trying local places. I don't think I would come back to this one. The service was just pretty poor and the food wasn't spectacular. It wasn't bad but it just didn't stand out.

Parking in this area can be a little tight, but we managed to find a spot without too much trouble. Once inside, we were surprised by how spacious the restaurant is. Even with the dinner crowd, we were seated right away. The atmosphere was lively, especially with the USA vs. Paraguay World Cup match playing on every TV. It created the perfect backdrop for a post‑game meal. I decided to try something new from their menu: the Aguachile Steak. It was outstanding. The steak is prepared in a vinegar-based style similar to escabeche, giving it a bright, tangy flavor that really stands out. My wife and sons enjoyed their meals just as much, and everyone left happy and full. The service was excellent from start to finish--friendly, fast, and attentive. Between the great food, energetic ambiance, and top-notch service, this visit was a win all around. We'll definitely be coming back.
