I lived in Los Angeles for five years, and would frequently travel south to Baja California, Mexico. I'd dine in the little towns, which gave me the experience to identify and appreciate true Mexican cuisine. El Tipico is the real thing, and that's hard to find. What I liked best about El Tipico is the simplicity of fresh ingredients prepared just for you. They are clearly not mass-producing food and reheating it. Nor are they merely piing on some ketchup-"salsa" and calling it Mexican. I recommend experiencing it. Just be advised, it is likely quite different than what you are accustomed to. It's an improvement, and you'll love it.
I highly recommend El Tipico for your catering needs! Fresh high quality DELICIOUS food and excellent customer service. It's also awesome just to carry out or go for a meal
We ate there twice on our recent trip to Mackinac Island, Michigan. Food was very good. Cheese dip is served in a long platter bowl. Margarita’s are always on special. Our server was very nice and quick. Highly recommended.
Best Authentic Mexican food ever. Husband and I have been coming here for over 25years, best ingredients and the best staff. Dina is wonderful and love learning about the history of her family and how the community comes together in the time in need. We basically eat 2 on the weekends there. Really need to go and enjoy great food.
Everything about El Tipico was fantastic! The service was great. We were met with smiles and helpful suggestions. A nice atmosphere to enjoy our dinner. The food was great. Very fresh and visually appealing as well as very tasty. The salsa couldn't have been fresher and really went well with the fresh and light chips. When our dinners arrived they looked so good. Each plate was visually appetizing with such fresh and vibrant colors. Then each bite was so tasty. This has become our go to spot!
Not going back there!First of all, their parking lot is so small, we had to park in the side of the street ..We were a party of 10, and they gave us 2 plates of food at the time every 20 min, because they decided to take care of the carry outs while they had our order on process.I order a low carb Mexican dinner, with lettuce, fajitas steak, and Pico de Gallo, they gave me my food without the Pico the Gallo, and when they gave it to me I had already finished my dinner. The lettuce that they gave was so little....
As always our meal was fantastic. El Tipico is one of the best restaurants in Toledo.My wife and I have been coming for five years and we love it. There are few restaurants around that use ingredients that are as fresh and of the quality that they use. It really makes a difference.I think the ET nachos are the best appetizer I've ever had and we always get them.The food always comes out prepared to perfection and very hot. I love the family history on the walls. Its a great dining experience.Our server was great. She was a very memorable person and she has been our server most of the times we have come in. We were happy to see her last night.Your restaurant is an absolute local treasure. Thank you
I would like to first begin with the owner Dina. I came to eat in her late father's restaurant and she treated me like I was family. I was dining alone and she came to my table, struck up a conversation and gave me the history of her late father and the great restaurant she now .runs. We laughed, traded our histories and she provided some very tasty Tex Mex and Mexican dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. It was a pleasure to support this establishment.
