We used El Tapatio Catering as our wedding caterer and the experience from beginning to end was excellent! The team was very responsive and helpful when we were first inquiring about their services. We were able to set up a free tasting and the food and service was so spectacular we knew we had to book them right away for our big day! Throughout the planning process they were available for any questions or changes we needed to make and were friendly and professional at all times. The day of the service was awesome and guests continue to rave about how delicious the food was - we highly recommend you book them for your next event!

Service started off slow and the Restraunt was almost empty. The chips and salsa was different but tasty. The food came out quickly, but my son’s cheese enchiladas was cold inside and cheese was not melted. I had chicken enchiladas and they were bland and the the Spanish rice was hard with no taste. The beans was the best thing on the plate. I would not recommend this restaurant!!!!

Food is not great at all but the place has a gorgeous patio. No beer on tap. Served in bottles. The burrito was not prepped well, no taste and hardly anything to make it remarkable.

I used El Tapatio for a 475 person event- we did tacos, chips, salsa, and churros. They were on time, the food was DELICIOUS and they brought everything needed (plates, napkins, enough cups, a beautiful setup, a beautiful churro cart...) Pricing was more than fair, and I don't think one person had a complaint about the food. Thank you!

My review is more for their food truck as I haven't been to the restaurant. Maybe I got them on a bad day but the meat (chicken and pork) on my tacos was so dry. Not something I would expect from a food truck that should be cooking your food on the spot.

Thank you to Carolina and the whole team at El Tapatio! The delivered on an epic taco buffet even with all of our specifications. We asked for hand made tortillas in front of guest and Al pastor on a spit, carved in front of guests (with pineapple)! Every request I made, she said “no problem” and made it happen.They really delivered on the day of our wedding. Fresh, quality food! Thank you!

We had the El Tapatio taco truck at our wedding celebration and it was awesome!! The food and service were amazing. It ended up being the perfect option for us because the meal was able to accommodate our guests varied food allergies/preferences. We also did the Churro Bar, which was incredible! So much better than wedding cake. We thought it was very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend!

Found this to be the restaurant to go to for breakfast. Portions are large. Friendly staff. A wait for food, but worth it!

They catered a banquet I attended at Bread & Salt. The set up worked well- two stands serving the same thing, plus a canopy that had the salsas, chips, and salad. They kept the guacamole at the stands which I thought was smart or else everyone would've scooped the guac by the time I got my food!I'm vegetarian so I opted for rice, beans, and asked for the mole sauce from the chicken mole to be poured over the rice. With a squirt of lime, it was SO delicious! My bf and I have brought it up a couple times in the past week. I also really liked their red and green salsas.If I ever need to cater a party, I would certainly think of them first. The servers were also really great.

Delicious tacos! Pollo and Asada were flavorful and juicy. Salsas had the perfect amount of heat. Can't wait to try them again!!
