Taqueria El Tapatio

My Mom and I were in Moorpark for the afternoon (from Oxnard) and happened, by chance, to land here—glad we did!

All the various meats you could want are on offer, with shrimp and fish dishes available, too. We considered the prices reasonable.

Mom ordered a taco salad; I had a big plate of nachos with the meat on top split: half carnitas and half Chile Verde [no other eatery has made a point of offering me this half & half option, btw].

A well stocked, complimentary, self-serve display of salsas, chips, and marinated vegetables was much appreciated.

Our dishes were promptly brought out to our table. Mom's taco salad was not large to look at, but was packed full—she kept commenting about how delicious and fresh everything was (I agree) and enjoyed her beef. My nachos were loaded: carnitas were crispy, not greasy, and with more flavor than I have experienced at other places; the Chile Verde was succulent and scrumptious with a tangy sauce.

For unpretentious Mexican fare, Taqueria El Tapatio was really a delightful surprise for us. We're not Moorpark locals, but will be back when we can.

Stopped here on our way from a visit to see fam. We shared a Chile Verde Burrito and it was pretty good, had all the fixings! Appreciated the chips & salsa bar. Might consider this a pit stop on our travels.

Portions are TINY and incomparable to what you pay. $11.99 for a regular burrito-rice, beans and meat. Torta was the same $10.50... No lettuce, guacamole or cheese- no frills. VERY sloppily and loosely put together, it all fell apart while eating, and not in the way of abundance of ingredients....The Service was best described as rude. No smiles, no help- just a unamused woman with an unwelcoming look on her face.NO problem, this was the first and LAST time.

Food was excellent, but I may not go back, because I like having free refills on my drink, especially when eating spicy hot sauce. Seems petty, but to me it's important, and doesn't cost them much. One other customer said he wouldn't be back because of that too.
