Solid spot for a quick dinner with the fam. Service was friendly and fast. I got the Chile Verde, and it is certainly something I'd get again. The pork was tender and flavorful! My husband got the birria-dilla and really enjoyed it. My son filled up on chips and salsa, but you can't win them all. We will be back! read more

Can't make a margarita to save their lives , waitress was nice food is bland . Not worth the $$

We went here for a late night dinner. It was after the rush and grateful they were open. We were greeted right away warmly. We were instantly brought salsa and chips. I ordered a watermelon margarita which was great. We ordered our meals and they came out fast. The food was great and hit the spot. The shining star was our dessert tres leche. It was so yummy. The decorations are great and felt very Mexican themed. read more

El tapitio is my go too for Mexican when I don't want to travel far. They have the best queso!! I always get the burrito tapitio and it's stuffed with chicken and very good, I never finish it and take it home. Margaritas are large, I only need one! The atmosphere has a fun festive vibe they do have outdoor seating in the warmer months. Service is fast, sometimes to fast so if you get an app doing put your order in unless your ready for your food in 5 min :) read more

We've dined in and ordered take out from here probably a dozen times and always felt it was good. The host/ess and waiters/waitresses have always been polite and prompt. However, this last time when we dined in, there was a half alive bug found twitching in our food right after the waiter brought the plates to the table. Sadly, I don't think we will be patrons here anymore because of this. (This was the Wickford location) read more

I really don't like giving bad reviews...the orginal Tapatio is just as bad as the other two now. I can make better enchiladas with an old El Paso kit. It use to be good but it was so greasy I almost got sick. It was just globs of cheese. It was comparable to eating a a fried grilled cheese wrapped in a tortilla. The server wasn't friendly and over talked me. He got the orders wrong. There's officially no good tex mex in RI. read more

Food was fantastic, service was also great. Two margaritas and two burritos plus tip was $80, which is literally insane. But that's south county prices for you read more

I have only been there once. The tacos were good but the not the best. The chips and dip were alright. The service was ok. There were also playing Mexican music which makes sense because there literally a Mexican restaurant. But over all it's good! read more

Had dinner with my friends. My friend ordered fish taco, which doesn't look great. There are 3 tacos on the plate, two looks ok, but one has almost no fish. We were there at Friday night, look at food, feel kitchen and wait stuff were bit overwhelming. The host was friendly, but our table service wasn't as good. I don't think he was trying being rude, the the way he served table, make us feel very rush and not exactly friendly. Fortunately, my food was good. I ordered two choice combo with shredded beef enchilada and chimichanga. It's yummy. I will ordered it again. Will have give 4 stars if service was better. read more

We were looking for somewhere to eat for dinner kind of last minute and this place was nearby with fantastic reviews, it did not disappoint. We were seated very quickly and the server was very nice and knowledgeable. After ordering our food came out so fast and it tasted fantastic! The portions are very worth the price as well. Although it was too cold when we visited, I believe their patio seating would be very enjoyable when it's warm. I'll definitely come back. read more

From the friendly smiles and greetings to the delicious food and outstanding service, El Tapatio deserves to be on your go to list. The inside is welcoming and smartly decorated.

It's worth the try. Tex mex is hard to find around here. I've been once so I can't say much. I had the chicken fajitas for two and it could have feed 6 people. I think it's definitely worth the try. Service was good and the ambiance was as it should be. read more

Found this restaurant near where we were shopping and it was on the way back to our lodging. We were looking for takeout. I had the Camarones Mojo De Ajo. It had a fantastic flavor. 7 large shrimp, mushrooms, and lots of rice beans and ensalada. Adding picture of left over as I couldn't eat it all. The margarita was a wonderful addition. My husband had super nachos with hamburger. He said it was the best he ever had eaten. The food arrived quickly and well packaged. We will get several meals out of this one. We're putting the restaurant on our return list for our next vacation read more

It was worth the wait! After nearly a year of anticipation, the Cranston El Tapatio finally soft opened this week. Like many others, we've been watching the progress as they renovated the inside and cleaned up the outside. Unfortunately, they don't have an outdoor space but their take-out process seems good. There's a door to enter and a separate door to exit. We ordered takeout of a vegetarian burrito and a chicken chimichanga. My wife said that the burrito was excellent with sauteed mushrooms and seasoned black beans. There were a lot of onions but I think they're necessary for flavor and easy enough to pull out if there's too many for your liking. My chimichanga wasn't as huge as I typically see, so at first I was disappointed but once I cut into it, I absolutely could not have been happier. It was basically stuffed with only a seasoned/stewed chicken breast. That's it. The outer "shell" had been so perfectly and lightly fried that it seemed (almost) healthy. The chicken was incredibly good. The rice, beans, guac, sour cream, and Mexican Cole slaw that came in the side of my deluxe meal were all great. We were also provided with complementary chips and salsa. The chips were still warm and fresh. We had to really control ourselves to keep from eating all of them right away. The salsa wasn't our favorite because it was very mild. I think typical New Englanders will like it. Next time we order I'm going to see if they have a spicy version. read more

We had a really good time at El Tapatio. The staff is awesome, friendly and efficient. We had chips and salsa within ten minutes of sitting down. I had maybe the best MOJITO I've ever had -- really good. They have lots of tequilas and a comfortable bar. We ate dinner at the bar, it's a little unusual, the bartender is in an area that's below the bar...kind of strange but okay. Our dinners were delicious -- I had chicken fajitas which were perfectly done and my partner had chicken enchiladas -- which he really enjoyed -- nicely spiced and well done. All in all a good meal and a good time. Thanks El Tapatio! read more
