We were in the mood for a good Mexican breakfast, so we tried El Tapatio for the first time. Pity for us taking so long to try this place. All of the favorites-- huevos rancheros, migas, chilequiles -- and everything from the sauces to the tortillas is homemade. Great service and even better value. They open at 6:00AM, so even early birds can check it out. This is our new go-to breakfast spot. Now we just need to get back for lunch and dinner. read more

Very friendly staff. Ordered some tacos for takeout. Will go back again to try other dishes.

This place is amazing. I have read the reviews from everyone and also some of the locals me and my fiancé are new to the area and have yet to find an authentic Hispanic place that we can say is good, that was until we came here we had the mendu, torta and some tacos tasted like Abuela. read more

Hands down the best breakfast tacos I have ever had. Service is fast and food is fresh. Help is extremely nice, but it helps if you speak a little Spanish. It has become a favorite of family and friends. read more

See all

I have here many times. Wonderful experience every time. Their chicken enchiladas are great! Their chalupas are as well. But the breakfast at El Tapatio is my favorite! Large plate portions, free cheese dip at lunch, and super inexpensive. read more

My husband and I always enjoy this quaint place when we have the notion. The food is always tasty, and the place is always well kept. Clean bathrooms. Enjoyable from beginning to end. And they serve breakfast. read more

My wife and I were looking for some good Mexican food and saw the great reviews for this restaurant. Not what we expected or hoped for. It was a Sunday evening, about 4pm, and I wanted to call in our order to pick up as we were wanting to eat at home that evening. We were struck at how the person on the phone not only had a difficult time understanding English but was unable to give us specifically what I ordered for my wife ( a cheese enchilada and chicken enchilada with rice and beans, how hard is that?) They kept saying that they couldn't do it because they already had the enchiladas on the plate. I thought there must be a misunderstanding so I went in to put in my order in person. At that time the lady taking my order told me the same thing. Then she said she would ask the person in the kitchen. When she came back out she said they could give me a cheese enchilada with 2 chicken. I gave up and said ok plus my 3 green enchilada plate, 2 soft tacos and and a slice of tres leches cake. The final bill was over $30. When I got home we got our food out and ate. After a couple of minutes I had found out that the enchiladas, beans and tacos were almost flavorless. I said something to my wife and she agreed, saying she had been so disappointed but wasn't going to say anything unless I did first. We both love good Mexican food and will pay more for great food. But what if it's terrible? Maybe they plate up food in advance on Sundays. Maybe it's always this bad now. But I wouldn't NEVER go back here again unless they changed owners. read more

I ordered 2 tacos and a quesadilla when i got home i picked up my quesadilla and it looked like a bite had been taken out of it. Took it back and the employees acted like i was crazy. They also had an employees child running behind the counter barefoot and filling up his own cup and scooping ice out of the ice container. I will never return here. read more

We ordered the beef fajitas for two and got beef, chicken, and shrimp mix. The meat is way over seasoned, and the beans were way to spicy for a child to eat. I overheard another customer tell them that the red salsa was too hot, and if they could try the green sauce. They were told for an extra charge. I wouldn't even try the salsa because it smelled like tomato sauce. We ordered chips and salsa to go, and got a very small portion. I wouldn't waste your time. Los Pericos is still the best all though we haven't tried Cilantros yet. read more
