El Tapatio Authentic Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Wooster, Ohio

The Mexican place was clean, friendly excellent food drinks were good. The server was nice. I highly highly recommend this restaurant.

Photos of the thin crispy chips and great ratings brought me in, but those grill char accents on the mixed grill fajita for two (which still gave us leftovers for two lunches) were what really hit the spot! We sat down and service was immediate for our drinks and guacamole order, then somehow our Mixed Fajita for two came out before we even got one quarter of the way through the corn chips! It was surprisingly so fast for a restaurant. The atmosphere was a bit on the loud side- as we occasionally needed to raise our voice to hear each other- so not quite a romantic spot, but fine for friends and family getting together. Sports of different channels were playing on three different TVs in the dining room, but most people weren't really watching. Our drinks never went dry before being refilled, and everything tasted great. The only thing I wished they had was Cholula hot sauce- which is a little spicier than Tapatio. However, I'm glad they carry a good set of Jarrito sodas and sweet brewed iced tea. read more

El Tapatio!!! We never have a bad experience here. I love going in there because my food is always DELICIOUS! I typically get their tacos with rice and beans! Our service is always delightful and if anything doesn't seem right it's fixed right away. The atmosphere of the restraunt of that of a Mexican restaurant, hustle and bustle, talking, drinks, etc! If you get the chance, go! Give it a shot! read more

This place seems to be getting better with age! Love the tropical burro and the wife loves the speedy Gonzales. Salsa, queso, and frozen mugs with Pepsi is great as well. Excellent service and great food! read more

Food is always cold, sauce is from a can by taste. I ordered cheese enchiladas my last time and pics below, inside is pre shredded non melted cold cheese. Like it's microwaved. Beans concealed, rice dry. The time before I ordered the 4 different enchiladas, beef and chicken was dry, cheese cold not cooked enough. As bad as El Rincon in Akron. read more

Solid place. We stopped with our teen while at Wooster. Very nice staff super quick service, I enjoyed the music. We had chips/salsa/guacamole (very tasty!), a vegetarian burrito ( not a usual mission style burrito it was full of grilled veggies, pinto beans, rice cheese etc). It was very good and a very big portion. Cheese and chicken quesadilla was M A S S I V E and would be shareable as an app for the table. We'll be back! read more

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Fantastic Margaritas. I go here all the time and am never disappointed.

I ordered a super burro with chicken. The burrito was partially filled with chicken and the rest was just beans and rice. I told the waiter never heard back. I told the cashier, didn't seem to care so I won't go back. read more

Wooster people know: You're either about El Taps or El Camps. There's not really a wrong answer, but I give the edge to El Taps. The people here are amazing - They take extra steps to give you some attention, even when they're slammed. The food is incredibly quick to the table, which is a must for hungry little kids. ("I WANT MY CHICKEN TACO NOW.") The margaritas are strong, and visiting on Tuesdays for margarita specials is a very, very good idea. Beer drinkers can also get a GIANT mug full of beer for a very reasonable price. (Bonus: You can swim laps in your gigante cerveza to work up an appetite!) Unlike most speedy mexican restaurants, many of the dishes don't shy away from heat, spice, and flavor. Speed of delivery doesn't mean blandness. And the portions are also fantastic, especially with the reasonable lunch meals. For the same amount of money and the same time that you'd spend sitting in a drive-through line, you get a substantial amount of piping hot mexican food. I'll definitely eat at El Camps, but I'm strongly team El Taps! Oh, and Nancy is the best! read more

Our server Nancy tonight was exceptional, and absolutely recommend everyone to check it out if in the area. read more

A decent Tex-Mex restaurant. Always a good stop incase other ones near by are too busy.

The service is always good, the food it quick and hot. They made me Chicken Poblano with peppers and cream sauce when I asked for that. Excellent place. I would like more ethnic dishes but for Mexican American you can't go wrong here. read more

Probably our favorite in Wooster. The food is good, the service is good, and the margaritas are better than the other Mexican place. Small setting but good food. I love the fajita super burro, very big and very good. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. My parents visit here quite often. When I went with them last the server rembered their "usual" order and drinks at brought right to them and turned in the order for the kitchen. I enjoy the food and the service. read more

This is really a 2.5 star restaurant; I would say it's a little better than a 2 stars. The food is fine, but not great. It's very bland. I would say it's Mexican food suited for old Caucasians. Nothing seems very spicy/flavorful/hot. El Campesino definitely takes the cake over this place. Time will tell if this place will stick around longer than the previous 2 restaurants at this location. It seems to change every 6 months. Like all Mexican restaurants, the menu is several pages long. They have all of the typical dishes, and they've decorated the place nicely. read more

Great looking restaurant. it gives you the feel of old Mexico. Prompt service and maybe a "too large of a menu". but plenty of selections. Food was presented hot and tasty. Servers were attentive and nice. Will definitely be back! read more

El Tapatio Authentic Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Wooster, Ohio

First off ...can I rate this place 6 stars? I have been around northeastern ohio and have ate at some top notch mexican restaurants and this restaurant takes the cake....or margarita? To begin with I have to compliment and praise the staff. They are fast, courteous, and actually funny. They all make your time at El tap (what we like to call it) one to remember. You leave feeling like you just made a whole bunch of new friends. Now onto what really makes this place 6 or er 5 stars. The FOOD. It is by far the best mexican food in wooster, probably the best in the akron canton area as well. I would suggest cazuelada. It has tender pieces of steak, moist chicken, and spicy chorizo tossed with peppers and onions. It's served with rice and charro beans and of course tortillas. It is absolutely one of the most tasty things I've had. It goes with out saying that their salsa and guacamole are the best in wooster. They also have fantastic shrimp, enchalidas, and tacos. If you're in the mood for mexican and in wooster, please stay away from the so so food at El campesino and go to El tap where you'll not only get great food but a great staff to serve you read more

My significant other and I ate here recently and were not impressed with the food at all. We had been hopeful about the place because it had decent ratings on Yelp, but it left us sorely disappointed. Firstly, the salsa was horrible. Tasted like tomato sauce. No flavor. So we tried the bean dip. Basically bad refried beans with cheese floating on top. Be not deceived- it was not queso and other queso and bean dip should be sad to share the same name/description. The burritos were not burritos. They were more like tacos and my man was not impressed. At all. My enchiladas were covered in a sauce that was not enchilada sauce. Tasted like bbq sauce mixed with tomato sauce. The beef tips were overcooked and tough. We will never be back. Taco Bell is more authentic mexican than this place. Save your money. read more

And like Shaun B, I don't fully give it a 3 star, but it's better than a 2 and I don't wish to disrespect the business. But in all honesty, this isn't authentic Mexican food. To reiterate Shaun again, it's Mexican geared towards older Caucasian people(my grandparents took me here, raving). I've had Mexican food in cities(even in Guatemala) with much larger Mexican influences than Wooster, and the food is much spicier and much lighter. The Mexican food we often see is heavier for Americans. We need to fill up now, don't we! Not really. But everything else was fine. Service was nice and it had a welcoming atmosphere, if a bit cliche. But like I mentioned before, at least for me, the food was forgettable. It was good, but I can't remember what I got a week later... I really can't; I remember contemplating the chile relleno, but I chose something else... No idea what :/. My advice, go outside of Wooster if you want real Authentic Mexican. This will appease the appetites craving refried beans and tortillas with meat. read more

This place is great. There is a Typical Mexican expection in places like El Tap, but theres a positive difference that must be acknowledged; the staff is really like family. I'm latino myself and I listen to people attempting to order in spanish all the time and Im always impressed in the way these folks do their best to understand the well meaning, often comical attempts to relive some spanish class from yester-year. The latest menu offers fish fagetas and anyone looking for the healthier side of typical American catered Mexican fare should really check it out. Note..the hot sauces are not "hot" but you only need to ask nicely for some of the "real stuff" if you want next level spice. Not the best chips and salsa in town but tops in main dishes, clean & customer service. If you havent tried them in a while give them another look. The owner is always around and eats what they serve. read more

I don't eat Mexican food very often but this was certainly adequate & filling & the price was reasonable. Plenty of chips & salsa & staff is always nearby to assist your needs. The place was clean & I would recommend it to others who are interested in Mexican food. read more
