Wow El Jimador, where have you been all my life? The food is fantastic, full of lively spices and…read moreflavor. From the meats to the sauces, everything was flavored to perfection. They also aren't afraid to add a little heat, but as somebody who doesn't like their food too spicy nothing here was overdone. I'm really glad we decided to stop during a road trip up 95. Now, the place is loud, so if that's not your jam maybe try take out because the food is top notch. We didn't like our drinks, as we opted to be a little adventurous here. I ordered a mezcal drink with orange and pineapple, she ordered an orange version of the house marg. We both decided maybe we should just try the standard marg next time. Also for what it's worth, our server spoke very little English. Overall, I rate restaurants on if we'd come back or not. Well let me tell you, I live 6 hours away and on the way out we were wondering if it would be worth the drive for dinner. The answer is absolutely yes.

Margarita was good- huge and it was a regular, not the monster side. The guacamole was good and chunky but for me it lacked some heat!. I got the chicken soup and it's a full meal- delicious shredded chicken, rice, avocado and a great broth with good flavor- huge portion I couldn't finish! My husband got the plantain with steak and beans- sooo good! I plan to make this at home. We wanted something sweet to end this great meal and our waitress recommended the elote cake whivh kind of sounded odd- corn dessert? Glad we listened because it was amazing- so good on a bed of sweet milk with ice cream. Great service too!

This was always our go to for Mexican food for the last 25 years, and we've checked back often waiting for them to reopen. The other el tapatio locations don't have the same salsa verde and I've never seen this style of it anywhere else. It was a little different, a little more lemon juice maybe but still the star of the show! Service was spot on and with a very personable and attentive waitress who checked on us frequently. Ambiance has changed to a more modern look, but I kind of liked the old booths. Still, thrilled to have them back!
