“ Barbaca, Asada, Pastor, and Nopalitos. It was all good. No regrets. ”
“ I usually order in the drive thru, but today I had a bigger to-go order, so I decided to go inside and have a drink while I wait. I have to say, I felt welcomed as if I were family. And the food was excellent as always. I love El Tapatio, and their staff deserve high praise. ”
“ The food never disappoints here! The chips are always fresh, salsa is smooth but does have a little bite to it and the queso is just what it needs to be. Food comes out quick and is delicious. One of my favorite things about the fajita for one plate is it's enough for two people or to take leftovers home for. Some of the dishes can be a bit pricey but for a special occasion, it's worth it! ”
“ The omelette was very nice.. never had this taste anywhere.!! Liked the way it was cooked with cheese. The hot chocolate is also very nice.! Try a cold chocolate too it’s good.! The burrito very nice we had for lunch must try.! ”
“ I’m from El Paso Texas. I stopped here on way through town and I’m very happy I did. I got the carnitas torta and it was so delicious. Authentic Mexican carnitas!!!!!!! I highly recommend eating here. The Red salsa is super delicious too ”
