We have visited several times and each visit is easy peasy. The servers are friendly and attentive. Food always delicious and portions are enormous. If you leave hungry.... Well, I dunno! I never have lol. I had the Burrito Fajita (steak) and it was very tasty. Came with refried beans and rice. I don't often have a drink when I'm out but my husband had a house margarita and it was really good. Three of us, each a full dinner and his drink cost us around $80+ tip. Very reasonable. The atmosphere was festive and colorful, lots of tvs playing soccer for the World Cup. We'll be back. Sorry no pic - was so hungry I dig in before I even thought about it! read more

Great food and great service. Went on a subway early evening while away on vacation. read more

El Tapatio - Shrimp and rice - Salad Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Food was decent. The chimichangas weren't great, I've had way better. The queso was kind of weird. A little too chunky (not a lot but just a slight weird texture imo) but the flavor was decent. read more

Food: I ordered the chicken mole poblano with a side of rice and refried beans and flour tortilla and it was actually pretty tasty. We also ordered a side of guacamole which was ok, but not too special. My friend ordered the Al pastor tacos dinner. Both dishes were actually yummy and we were so stuffed. Their portion size is big so be prepared to be full! Service: The service was great. We were always checked on and the food came out super quick too! The staff was really nice. Ambiance: There's a lot of good seating and booths. There's also a good sized bar. The decor is cool too. There's also a parking lot that has a decent amount of spaces. Would definitely visit again! read more

brunch/lunch time kind of visit! Very nearby and very cute inside~ the decor is not flashy, or plain~ the lamps were so beautiful! Staff speak Spanish and were prompt, attentive and friendly! Ordered the chicken fajita and k was expecting a grilled meat, but chicken was fried and crispy~ enjoyed the taste! The beans and cheese were very tasty, and seasoned well~ this location is in Warwick, and I do feel like it was seasoned less to fit the preferences of its nearby clientele ~ I enjoy a very spicy kick to my meat and sauces which wasn't present. I would love more spiced and spicy options for sauces~ otherwise, a good solid Mexican spot in Warwick~ read more

3.5 Very quick service and a vast menu. The Pollo Asado Burrito had a kick to it and it was stuffed with some veggies I'm not used to in a burrito, like broccoli and mushrooms. Very flavorful dish but not necessarily what I was expecting. Enjoyed the tres leches! read more

Excellent food, prices are good. Nice staff and overall good experience on several visits!

Great food great service and best coconut margaritas. Hardest part is sometimes language my brother ordered one thing and got something else but in the dozens of times we have been it happened once. Owner is so nice we keep going back read more

Always a great experience when I want something quick and satisfying. Drinks are great.

Good and service was very good. And they are many times in will do business again. Has been taken out many times from the place.

I absolutely love pleasant surprises, and this new Mexican gem, nestled right beside a convenience store across from Taco Bell and Dave's (formerly Benny's), is indeed an oasis in what feels like a culinary desert--especially considering the abundance of Chinese and Italian deli places along the road leading to Oakland Beach. Intrigued, we decided to check it out on a weeknight. The interior decor, featuring prominent wall-mounted suns, brought to mind another nearby Mexican restaurant, but this one added an extra touch with multicolored ceiling lights. It provided a warm respite from the onset of cold weather and darkness outside. I was pleasantly surprised to find at least three occupied tables, a good sign for a weeknight. The servers were helpful, friendly, and readily available to explain and recommend dishes. For starters, we ordered the flautas--an absolute bomb! The best I've had among all the Mexican restaurants in Rhode Island. While their menu includes the usual suspects (tacos, chimichanga, burrito), they also offer some unique items. We took advantage of this by ordering a Del Mar Salad with Grilled Fish and a Tapatio Enchilada for my husband. And then, margaritas! While the available flavors weren't unique, we opted for a large Black Jack margarita made with Chambord (raspberry liqueur). The pricing was just right. In total, we spent $73, including tax but excluding tip. What sets this place apart for me is a very fundamental reason--its competitive difference--the taste and quality of the food. While taste is subjective, in my humble opinion, it offers the most savory Mexican fare by far. 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

El Tapatio - Half alive bug found in our food 60 seconds after waiter brought our plates out - Salad Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

I was so excited to hear that El Tapatio was bringing a new location to Warwick after enjoying their food at their Wickford location for many years. Their latest adventure at their West Shore Road location does not disappoint. One thing that's noteworthy about their reputation is that there are super customer focused. That same commitment to service was shining, even on a jam packed Friday night. They were fully staffed and ready to serve with a smile. Gracious hosts, eager servers and support staff made the experience superb. We started with complimentary chips and salsa, added an order of guacamole. The salsa was fresh and flavorful as was the guacamole. Both were full of fresh cilantro, onion and not overly seasoned. We each ordered a très combo that came with three selections of items along with refried beans, rice and Cole slaw. The tamale was a winner with tons of tender pork inside the corn masa with an unbelievable mole sauce. High marks as well for the cheese enchilada and shredded beef hard taco. But honestly - you serve a gold medal if you can polish that off solo. I had PLENTY to take home for another generous meal. We didn't order any of the alcoholic drinks, but the bartender was cranking them out the entire time we were there. People were ordering multiples so that seems like a good sign that they're likely pretty good. The vibe is casual but classic. The decor is simple. The place is spotless. Did I say the people are kind and gracious? The only problem is that it's a small spot that was quickly filled by folks eager to enjoy what this place offers. Can't say that I blamed them. What a great problem to have. Glad they're here! read more

This place is fine. If you're in Warwick and you want Mexican food it will do the job, but it's not nearly as good as other restaurants in RI. The dishes are overpriced and portions are a lot smaller than other similar restaurants with lower prices. The drinks are more sugar than alcohol which is quite sad at around $15 per margarita. I would be more inclined to return if they had weekly specials, but I don't think I'm in a rush to head back anytime soon. read more

Ordered pickup-- super tasty! We had quesadilla ranchera, fish tacos, and birria tacos.

The place is much nicer on the inside vs the outside. Food was great and staff friendly. Wide variety of Mojito drinks. read more

Food was good not the flavor of Mexican food from where I'm from. Service was good but not many people there. Seemed newly opened l! I have a chimichanga with shredded beef. It wasn't crispy, but the beef had a good flavor came with a side of beans and rice. Beans were a little cold, but the rice had a good flavor. Needs a little more consistency in better cooking techniques. Otherwise flavors were OK. read more

El Tapatio - Margarita ultimate - Salad Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Mexican food at its best. Our meals were delicious, the service was great - thanks Alex! - and the decor and ambiance were welcoming, clean, and comfortable. I have made it a goal to try a new dish every time we eat here and I am rewarded each time. Today, I enjoyed the flavorful Camarones Mojo De Ajo (photo) - jumbo shrimp and mushrooms with lots of chopped garlic and all the sides. I had just enough to take home for a mini meal. Lucky me! My husband had the steak quesadilla which he said was "very good!" If you have been to one of their "sister" restaurants, you know the quality and care that is taken with each meal. This new location perfectly situated in the middle of Warwick is no different and has quickly become our new favorite. read more

I was a little worried about trying this place.... But, it was worth it. Enchilada's, tacos, burritos, nachos.... The meats were cooked perfectly and not dry. The staff was friendly and more than willingly to explain things. It's a cute place inside. Comfortable and worth the visit. read more

Just wow! i ordered online for pickup and my order was ready and waiting as i came in, staff was both friendly and efficient on getting my order to me. Amazing little spot for a getaway! The burrito i got was huge! Amazing spot, glad it was recommended to me and i cant wait to go back again. read more

Great New Mexican restaurant in Warwick! The birria tacos are great. They are friendly and fast for take out.

Good food great service inviting ambiance. Tried the appetizer sampler and shared we all enjoyed it. read more

Staff and atmosphere are great but the food is definitely not authentic. They serve sides of fries and only have crispy tacos. I ordered a torta and was super underwhelmed with the cold carnitas and a smear of guacamole on a roll. read more

I couldn't be happier with my last 2 experiences here have came 2 times recently and both times the service has been just as good as the food and I couldn't be happier this is my new go to and the server Erick is awesome and a absolute pleasure with amazing customer service read more

El Tapatio - Drinks before food - Salad Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

I just love the food at El Tapatio Warwick location, it's so good! Right near my job so we often order this for lunch on Fridays and my go to is the spinach quesadilla. They always serve it with all the sour cream and pick and guacamole you could need. Anytime we order to go they always make sure to give a big bag of chips and salsa too. It's so good I'm drooling just writing this. Now I have to say that I'm a regular at the NK location, and while they are very good- I think Warwick location is better read more

I popped in for a quick lunch and was very happy with the lunch special options. For the same price as Chipotle (actually maybe less) I had a delicious queso chimichanga that came with rice, beans and chips/salsa. read more

Eric offered us great service and the food was incredible, highly recommend the pork chimichanga. The atmosphere was great as well. read more

This was a miss for me. I wanted to like it to have an option, but they were out of Corona and the food I ordered was the saddest tasting and looking plate I've ever gotten at any Mexican restaurant. The waiters were nice enough though. read more

This place was absolutely phenomenal! To friendly staff who speak both English and Spanish. To the beautiful decor on the inside. When you get seated they bring out a FRESH batch of chips that are still warm. Their Seafood is to die for. So fresh! I wish the portions were a little bit smaller but other than that no complaints. Will be coming back again read more

I wanted to like this place but was very disappointed. The margarita was good as was the salsa snd chips. My fajita ( beef) was over cooked and the flavoring was not at all what I expected. The rice was very dry and the vegetables quite lackluster. The food also chilled quickly as the restaurant was quite chilly! There were few customers so that may have bern a factor in the room temp but it definitely affected the food temp! read more

Great food and service. My boss and I had lunch. Steck fajita foe me and chicken fajita quesadilla for him. Both were great. Fair price and large portions. Go here and thank me later... read more

Good and flavorful. Will definitely go back more than once. If you are craving Mexican food, give it a try.

We went in around 8 on a Saturday. The food was great, service was perfect and fast, and it had a nice feel inside. I had the chimichonga con queso with carnitas, I can't wait to get it again read more

Loved the vibes and decor. Had a large drink menu and the margarita was really good! Complimentary chips and salsa were a little bland. The food came in good sized portions. Not the best Mexican food I have had but better than local taco shops. read more

Some of the food tasted "old" specially the mix chimichanga. The ceviche was edible but lack flavor. Service was decent as they kept checking if we needed anything else more than a couple of times. I'm not sure what to think about the place, my son described it as "small but clean". Bottom line we were disappointed and won't be returning. read more

Love the location in warwick. Food is great. Chips and salsa are great. Where I go for mexican

Do not use their online ordering system. I placed an order on Monday and they closed early. I have called multiple times to get a refund to keep getting dodged the owner is not here. I try to avoid filing disputes for small businesses but this is a case where they leave you with little choice. If you close early turn your online systems off. read more
