My wife and I stopped in during the World Cup, and by pure luck we had the place almost entirely to…read moreourselves. It was a quiet afternoon, so instead of feeling awkward, it turned into a really enjoyable visit. The staff had the match on, and before long we were all watching together. A couple of goals were scored while we were there, and everyone celebrated for a moment before getting back to work. It gave the restaurant a fun, relaxed atmosphere that you don't usually get. I ordered the Burrito Fajita, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. It was generously portioned, served hot, and had plenty of grilled chicken, peppers, and onions. The rice and beans on the side rounded everything out nicely. Nothing about the meal disappointed me. If I'm being fair, restaurants like El Tapatio have a lot of competition. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants around Rhode Island serving very similar menus, and the differences often come down to execution more than originality. That's not a knock on this place. It's simply the reality of the genre. The food here was solid, well prepared, and satisfying, even if there wasn't one particular dish that made me think, "I've never had anything like this before." Where El Tapatio really stood out was the service. Everyone was genuinely friendly without hovering over the table, our food came out quickly, and they made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was also spotless, which is something I always notice. Would I come back? Absolutely. Maybe it won't reinvent Mexican food, but it doesn't need to. Sometimes all you want is a clean restaurant, good service, a generous meal, and people who make you feel at home. On that front, El Tapatio delivered.

The Carnitas taco was delicious, but for $7.15, I can make several pounds of outstanding shredded pork butt. The Birria taco ($8.25) was less enjoyable, as the beef was dry and really could have used some consommé (which is usually served with Birria...but not here). Both tacos were a single corn tortilla, which quickly became too soggy to support the filling. Despite the small operation, which does a lot of takeout, counter service was fairly quick. The ambiance is perhaps best described as quaint food truck/street fare made with love...at fine dining prices.

They prepare the food in front of you and have a couple tables so you can eat your food inside. The tongue taco was flavorful and tender, and the chunks were big which I really enjoyed. The quesadilla was good, but the way it was rolled up reminded me a lot of a burrito. I wish I had asked for sour cream because that would've made it so much better. I couldn't decide whether I wanted steak or chicken, so I asked for half and half. Both were very tender, but I did like the steak better. There is plenty of parking.
