Share your opinion about El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant
The food was good. Service was also good. I'm put-off by the fact that, although a small amount, the restaurant has been charging 75 cents for "cheese" that was not offered as an option nor should it be. The charge just appears on the bill when you receive it. Just another dishonest way to get an extra bit of cash from the customers surreptitiously. Hasn't cheese always been a standard part of Mexican recipes? What's next, a tortilla charge with your taco?
We love this lace always the best service
Lots of room, popular restaurant with a great variety on the menu. Lots of seating for sports/tv. We enjoyed happy hour and had a taco salad. So convenient next to our hotel. The staff very pleasant and every thing was very clean. Pride in management was very evident.

El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant offers delicious food that tastes like the south, with good service. Located on 53rd and Wadsworth, it is a local treasure where flavor, warmth, and fast service come together. Although there might be some issues with the timing of online orders, the food is worth the wait. The average meal now runs about $22, but the generous portions and bold flavors make it worth every dollar.
Customers have noted that the hostess might not be the most welcoming, but the warm and genuine service from the crew, including Alma, Maria, Julio, and Monica, makes guests feel like they are home. While there’s a suggestion to make homemade tortillas instead of using packaged ones, the food still provides a satisfying Mexican dining experience. Whether dining with family, enjoying a solo meal, or meeting friends, El Tapatio brings energy, comfort, and flavor, with favorites like the smothered Mexican hamburger and the Carnitas plate.
