Great food, great atmosphere and great service!!

muy agradable el lugar , muy atento el personal.

Excellent food and service Chimichanga was full of very tender steak tips. Wife had a shrimp dish she really enjoyed.

I have to say this has been one of the BEST Mexcian food I have tasted thus far!! Staff was very friendly and was affordable. The Guac was made right in front of me and it was HEAVENLY ??? Highly recommend this place!

Easy to find, well marked free-standing place. Clean and friendly inside. Lots of carryout going on. Place about half full on a Sunday eve. We had 2- Margaritas ($13.50); Enchiladas Guadalajara ($10.99) and Enchiiadas Banderas ($10.99). Chips and Drinks came quickly as did the food. Food was nicely presented and it was a healthy serving. If we ever go through there again, we will stop for Mexican.

We ate at El Tapatio on Sunday afternoon May 1 2022.The service was uncaring. The 2 servers who brought our food did not bring the full order and did not relay our request to our original waiter who took our order. Our waiter did not come back to our table until I went inside the restaurant to find someone.The food was pricey and sort of smaller portions than I expected. I ordered a fajita and it was uninspired. Just onions and green peppers and shrimp, nothing special at all.Find somewhere else to eat. I won't eat there again and will not recommend.

Service was fast and accurate, waiter was awesome. But when it's closing time, they clean, turn the tables over and turn off tv??? Oh we knew then, it was closing time whether you finish eating or not. Food was delicious.

Showed up for dinner and was seated quick enough. Then went down hill from there. Waiter was very slow. We then ordered our food along with made to order guacamole for an appetizer. Waiting, waiting, then finally food shows up. Barely lukewarm. No guacamole appetizer. Asked them where our guacamole was. We were half finished with the meal and then guacamole comes. She makes it right at the table so we have to stop eating our dinner to tell her how we want it made. Now food is really cold. Guacamole was made but we had no chips left. We asked for more chips. They never showed and we ended up eating the rest of the guacamole with forks out of the dish. Waiter shows up and drops off the check. Doesn't ask if we want dessert, not that we would have at that point. Try the other Mexican restaurant down the road.

it was delicious and the staff is great!!!

From the greenville area, stopped to get a quick bite to eat and I can honestly say it was really good. You can tell the guacamole was authentic. The chicken quesadillas were juicy and cheesy. My friend had the shrimp and chicken fajita nachos and they were good as well. Sweet tea was bussin and all… well worth the money.
