Lunch portion combo fajitas
Tex F.

Food was good but service tonight was not. Maybe they were short handed, but we had to ask for chips and salsa as we were being asked to order mains. The fajitas were delivered first - no tortillas, guacamole or pico, no beans or rice. At least we had forks. The sides did eventually arrive. We were never checked on for refills of tea until the check was delivered. There are other Tex-mex restaurants, including other El Tapatio's in town. Will probably be going there next time.

Service dogs are NOT allowed. Looks like my lawyer will be involved.

Does not allow service dogs. Has allowed my service dog in the past and the staff was very friendly. That is why I came back to this establishment. I guess I will not come back. Staff was rude this time as well.

The salsa was delicious and so was the food. The frozen mango margarita was one of the best I've had. The carne asada was seasoned to perfection. I definitely recommend this place.

Have ate here in the past and had positive experience but not today! Margarita was terrible, when we told the waiter he just took it away without asking what was wrong with it or asking if we wanted a different drink. Friend ordered grilled shrimp with shredded cheese, they served her cold shrimp topped with cheese. Asked the waiter about the shrimp and cheese not being warm or melted so he grabbed the plate, walked off without a word or even listening to the problem then proceeded to bring back a clearly microwaved crispy cheese shrimp plate. Food was subpar today but the service was the worst part. Super disappointing.

This place actually exceeded my expectations . The atmosphere is lively, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the salsa is so good! If I could, that's all I would've eaten. My boyfriend and I had the Tropical fajita for two (shrimp, chicken, and beef with pineapple). Pros: The portions were huge! I think I could make two more meals out of our leftovers. I really enjoyed the shrimp and pineapple. Cons: the fajita beef was overly cooked for my taste. Also, the flour tortillas were hard to pull apart. Although I wasn't too satisfied about the fajita, their other food choices seem like there would be some potential. I mean, if they have really good salsa, they should have good entrees as well right? I would come back to give it another chance.

Best Mexican in Cooke county, 10/10 every time. I recommend the fajitas. Does not look like much from the outside, but it is a great place.

I found myself in Gainesville... not a place I typically go on a daily basis. I needed to grab a bite, I needed to do it quickly, and fast food was just not going to work for me... Driving around I passed this place 2x times before finally giving up and saying to myself... "ugh... ok let's try it". Glad I did. They welcomed me in as if I was a regular there, someone that they see all the time. Not special in the slightest but also not a stranger in the least bit. It was comforting... homely... nice. The nice waitress provided me a menu, asked if I wanted a drink and brought over a basket of chips and salsa, both fresh and delicious. Found my way to the enchiladas and crossed my fingers. Within a few chips and minutes my plate arrived. Decently portioned and hot. Initial thoughts were "man, I'm hungry" and "that came quick!". It did not disappoint. Have I had better? You bet I have... was this good? Well... I finished it without complaint. Decent food, clean and welcoming, good price and a place anyone would be proud to say "I go to Mi Casa for Mexican food". Try'em... you may just be surprised.

We will dine in at the restaurant and possibly use a different company if we need delivery. We have always had good food and service in this restaurant. The atmosphere is great. Quick service and the margaritas are fantastic. On the other hand the DoorDash people they used last Saturday 6/11/26 delivered our food. Fajitas for 4 due to the fact we had company and were too busy to get it ourselves. $104 dollars worth. I met the driver at the gate and he got out of his car and dropped it. We were able to save the rice and beans but the meat which is the main part of the fajitas for 4 was in the gravel. The driver said not my problem. Then the driver tried to leave without picking any of the trash up. This review is about DoorDash. We called several times since then and they said they would refund us but never have. Be Leary of which company you use to deliver your food. I understand that the restaurant did their job preparing it but the DoorDash people are responsible for safe and accurate delivery.

Right after Corona the staff was attentive to the few customers they had, now it's a run of the…read moremill Mexican restaurant with bad service and food. Ordered the mixed fajita plate, meat was not freshly prepare, it came out way too fast, tortillas must have been from yesterday, very dry around the edges. Picture shows that the plate had 1/3 tomatoes (cheap filler food) and a lot of small chx and beef pieces. No refill on the salsa and the waiter never asked if food was ok. Way overpriced as well, I get much better quality at Uncle Julio in PP or Mazatlan in Denton.
