Best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to! Holy Moly it is good. My husband eats here everyday for lunch and often brings home chips and salsa for our kiddos. We always enjoy that. Today I was able to drive up and join him over his lunch hour and I am so happy I did. He always gets a taco meal which he raves about. I tried the polo asado (I think). I was blown away. For one thing service is exceptional they had our food out within 5 minutes it seemed. The waitress was kind. It was not very busy over the lunch hour which was heartbreaking. Leavenworth, get back to this gem!!!! My hubby loves the waiting area if you are ordering to go. I love the bright colors. read more

Authentic "American-Mexican" food. Great service, fast and friendly! Shout out to Mani, Maria (I think), and the gentleman with a beard. Always BOGO margs. My go to dish is the Carne Asada. Guac and queso are great starters. Also, go for taco Tuesdays and the Tijuana salad. Never had a salad dressing like it before. If memory serves they call it the Mexican Cesar salad lol. Been going for 10 + years. read more

A downtown staple in Leavenworth this place has been around for many years. I went to meet a friend for lunch. Upon entering we were cheerfully greeted by the hostess. Our server was prompt to the table to take our drink order.We both ordered the chicken fajita taco salad. The food was delivered quickly. The salad comes in an edible bowl. I was disappointed that there was very little chicken in it. The bottom was filled with refried beans, sautéed onions and peppers, shredded lettuce ( though not plentiful) and sour cream on top. It was very soggy on the bottom. Not extremely appetizing. After our food was delivered our server never came back to check on us. We had to flag her down to ask for water refills. I was not impressed by the food or our service. read more

Tampico's is a great gem in the middle of downtown Leavenworth. After a long trip the hotel staff recommended Tampico's across the street. It has a nice Mexican vibe and decor, the staff and I presume either the owner or manager was working the register and was very inviting. I made it just before the dinner crowd (Saturday) started to pour in ... a popular place for small groups and families from what I could see. As soon as I was seated someone came by with chips and salsa. The chips were warm, crisp and light; the salsa was good and not overly spicy. I ended up having the 2 for 1 margarita special and a chuiken dish for dinner. The chicken was freshly cooked, moist and flavorful. One of the better Mexican dinners I have had in the past year. I would absolutely recommend this place, since I have a week here for work I will be back to try another dish and see if the high quality is standard. Looking forward to another dinner here! read more

Tampico Authentic Mexican Restaurant - Chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Leavenworth, Kansas

We lived in Leavenworth about five years ago and always really enjoyed Tampico. Upon returning this evening, I was so happy to see, not much has changed! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Everyone was hustling as it was a busy Saturday evening. The food is always freshly prepared, and I appreciate that it is not incredibly salty. I had the fajita nachos with as side of toppings, the portions are always, very generous, and it came out piping hot. Plus, you can't beat two for one margaritas for nine dollars! When we move back this summer, Tampico will be on our regular rotation of restaurants! read more

We loved our server and had some great vegetarian fajitas! Usually we get just a bunch of onions when we ask for veggies, but this was an amazing mix. Also we ordered the single order to split ..and still had leftovers. Server also checked with the cook and the refried beans and rice were not made with animal fat so we could enjoy them! And, Thursday was twofer margs... read more

Tampico Authentic Mexican Restaurant - Vegetarian fajitas (for one!) and frozen strawberry house margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Leavenworth, Kansas

LOVE IT, they have gluten free options (i have celiac disease), the servers get the order right, and the right type of music is played. This is one of my family's go to. My family's is Hispanic (my step dad's side of the family, im not Hispanic), and they think its one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in town. read more

I hadn't been here in a long time because of a previous bad experience. Tonight I attended a friend's birthday party held here and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the chicken chimichanga, it was delicious. Portion was large so I took half of it home for lunch tomorrow. The salsa was tasty and the chips were fresh. Our waitress was a delight. I had a Mojito, it was very good, not made from a mix, but by hand. That's hard to find here in the Midwest. I will definitely return read more

First time in Leavenworth so I had to try this place per my parents recommendation. We started out with chips, guacamole and queso. I'm not a big fan of their queso but to be fair I like espinaca wayyy more as I feel it has more flavor. Guacamole was good which says a lot coming from me because I honestly don't like a lot of restaurants guac. They had 2 for 1 margaritas which were good. Decent size too! Definitely wouldn't have two of them and drive! I got the vegetarian quesadilla it was really good! Lots of fresh vegetables I thought it was a bit odd they didn't cut it but not the end of the world. My sister got the vegetarian combo with tostada and a bean burrito I believe? Clean plates all around! I don't really have a reason to come back to Leavenworth but if I happen to come back it would be to come here! read more

We had a large group (about 22 people) and they were very quick and organized on taking out orders, keeping us stocked on chips and salsa, as well as drinks too! I got the quesadilla fajita (steak) and it was delicious! I also recommend their salsa, it's addictive for sure! read more

This isn't the first time we've been to Tampico's. The evening specials are on point and the value is definitely there; the service is especially nice and our waiter went out of his way to help make our dining experience a good one. You have to choose the right meal for you - if you haven't eaten a lot of Mexican food before, and you aren't sure, choose something you know you are going to feel comfortable with; you can really enjoy what they have on the menu. They give you options from mild to spicy; and however you want to mix up your meal, they will make it happen. read more

None of the food we ordered came out hot, just mediocre warm/cold. Also... where's the seasoning? Nothing had taste... Someone got fajitas... and should've came sizzling hot, but it didn't, it was just warm. If you're an out of state traveler, I suggest to skip this place, it's catered to people locally. read more

I live the queso, and always order the same meal because it's always on point- the pollo asado!!! Fast service and food is consistently good. My family has been coming here for over 10 years. read more

Tampico Mexican Restaurant, this one was difficult for me. Had it not been for the exceptional service on that day, I would have given you three stars as the food was simply average. There were some perks such as the two for the price of one house margarita's and endless chips and salsa, but the food ordered was sadly average if not a bit under par for us. I will not tell you we have not had exceptional meals at this location, but not that day. On the bright side, the atmosphere is cheerful and the service was absolutely outstanding from beginning to end. read more

Great food and service every time! It's my go-to when I'm in the mood for Mexican food.

Stopped in for dinner and glad I did. Delicious carnitas with all the fixings. Their chips were hot, fresh and made in house. The salsa also seemed like it was made in house but could use a bit more heat for my taste. Service was incredibly prompt and very friendly. I never had to ask but didn't feel suffocated. The 2 for 1 margaritas were so so but for 9.00, not too bad. They are a bit small so I think that's why they give you two for the price of one. Overall I would give them a solid 8/10. Will be back as it's right across the street from the hotel I am in for the next few weeks and the only Mexican food I have found. read more

Here for work and it was across the street from the hotel. Good Mexican-American restaurant. Portions were perfect and the service was great. Had the fiesta nachos. Everything is made fresh and hot. If you're in town, it's a must. It's also located in a historic building. Don't think about it. Just send it. You will not regret it. read more

My boyfriend and I enjoy coming to this restaurant. In my opinion, this is the best Mexican restaurant that there is in Leavenworth. The food is really good. The service is always really good would recommend. read more

Awesome staff, good chips and salsa, efficient waiter (timely with refilling chips, salsa, water, bringing the check, etc). Cool interior decor and overall restaurant layout. Pretty good sized menu, to include a chimichanga that is my favorite! I was with 2 co-workers and everyone enjoyed what they had, no complaints. If looking for Mexican food, I recommend. I'll be back when craving Mexican food again. read more

Great food and personable service. Chips and salsa were delicious. Will return for sure.

Our go-to Mexican restaurant in the Leavenworth area. Service is friendly and food always comes out fast. Chips and salsa are good; the chips are served warm and salsa isn't overwhelmingly spicy. The menu is huge and I haven't found anything I didn't like. We've tried the tacos, various burritos and enchiladas, and flautas - all delicious. Prices are also very reasonable. Would definitely recommend a visit! read more

Service was awful! I ordered a quesadilla and it was done wrong. What I ordered was just the chicken and cheese and what came out it was also stuffed with veggies. When I tried to say something I was treated like I didn't know what the hell o was talking about and our server was arguing with me! It will be a long time before we come back!!!! read more

What an excellent little gem of a restaurant. First of all I was greeted with a smile then led to my table. The service was more than excellent and and my server Lacy was on the ball and more than helpful. I ordered the burrito supremo and sakes for fresh jalapeños to be added into it and it was excellent. The fresh salsa has an excellent flavor. I also tried the hot salsa which was so good she brought me a second bowl. This place does it right and if you are ever in Leavenworth, Kansas don't miss this one. I hope to be back in town one day so I can stop read more

Like the selection of food on the menu. It is getting pricey and the portions are smaller. The service is good most of the time.

We had a group gathering reserved for a Saturday. Walked in around 6pm and the restaurant wasn't too busy. However, by the time 8:30pm rolled around, the place was packed and people were waiting in line to get in. I ordered the carne asada, which came with a huge separate place of lettuce, tomato, onions, avocado, refried (or black) beans, and flour (or corn) tortillas. The carne asada came in two large pieces. Meat was savory and easy to bite into. I usually like mine a little more charred, but I didn't mind. My coworker got enchiladas with mole. The mole was delicious and savory. I kept dipping my asada in there! They also have a two for one deal on the house margaritas. I definitely had my share of two. Salsa for the chips were okay. I think they'd do a lot better making a house special salsa. Felt like it came out of Costco. Anyway, I'd like to come back here when I'm in town again. read more

Visiting the Leavenworth area and we dropped by here for dinner. We waited 10min for a table but the wait staff was really great. We ordered tac9s as it was taco Tuesday as well as fajitas. The waitress was good and attentive. The food was very tasty just expected the fajitas to be " sizzling". Will definitely come back again. read more

Super cute little place in the old town down area of Leavenworth. We will definitely be back.

Service: Really nice servers Food: 1. chips and Salsa ( pretty sure from Sam's Club) 2. Queso ( extra $) small: less than a 1/2 cup generic white cheese 3. Buttered Shrimp ( chewy, chewy,chewy) tasted like it was warmed up and not fresh) came with rice or beans .... I got the red rice... what Mexican restaurant doesn't come with refried beans? Small salad o. The side was pretty fresh. 4. 3x tacos ( chicken) definitely not fresh flour tortillas that held the grease from chicken pretty well until you pick it up and just a stream grease runs down. Cost: $40 at least we can say we had the worse Mexican food in Kansas.. read more

Some of the best food and service I have seen in a while. We had a dine in order and a take out order. Very reasonable prices.

Best queso around! This place must be the place to be. It was packed when I came last Wednesday. I ate at the bar. Excellent service by the bartender on duty who also had tables in another part of the restaurant. The only reason this place is getting 4 stars out of 5 is because the chicken on my alcapulco salad was pre-made. I would have loved to have a fresh piece of chicken just prepared right off the grilled. This seemed like it was already made like during prep. It was room temperature. At the same time, though, it was nicely seasoned. Just wished it was freshly grilled. I'll definitely be back. Great neighborhood Mexican spot: read more

This is some place that we visit when we eat out. The food is awesome, service is quick, everyone is friendly.

Ok so as other have voiced, awesome chips and salsa and awesome margaritas. The food was pretty subpar..my chicken was quite dry unfortunately. However when the margaritas gave me a good buzz to go shopping in this cute little downtown area and only had me spend $7.50 for two drinks on my vacation, I give 4 stars! I would definitely come again just for the drinks and probably just stick to a chips/salsa/queso order to eat! From Texas so have quite high standards for the food but there is nowhere in Texas that can beat the prices and quality of drinks! read more

First found this place when we moved here and stayed at the home 2 Suites it's right across the street. It has big spaces to accommodate large parties. The margarita specials is a must 2 for $10. Last meal I got was the fajitas and it was the best one yet! We go here at least once a month. read more
