So nothing about this is authentic Mexican food the menu descriptions are not correct I ordered a Pollo Sinaloa it says it was a chicken breast with vegetables I did not get a chicken breast I got a chicken breast cutlet which is a thin piece of sliced chicken breast. Also I've been here twice both times the toilet clogged the toilet clearly does not work properly I even tried my hardest to plunge it with the plunger couldn't get it to go down and when I left I had two workers run out to the parking lot and point at us how weird how strange that you have a toilet that's open that doesn't work the chile rellenos don't even come with a sauce this is not Mexican food

We always have delicious meals here. My husband and I are vegetarian eaters, and they veggie menus. They also will accommodate us if we choose some other entree, but without the meat, maybe to replace with beans or cheese. Service is quick and good. Atmosphere is colorful, marguerites are great as is the wine. Our friends and family members love going here with us. Their prices are very good and you get a good quantity of food in your choices. All in all, I thoroughly give them a great review.

Absolutely terrible. Called for an order they messed it up when we checked at the window so they added the cheese. Go home to open the burrito and all it is is chicken. Just chicken. Call and complain so they said come back they'll make it again. We go get our food after driving 20 minutes home and it's the same exact thing. But worse! Very disappointed and upset with the service as we paid over $35 for 2 burritos that weren't even right after them confirming my order as I told them at least 5 times exactly what I wanted. Will never be back.

Came here to meet a friend I hadn't seen in over 3 years. It was the halfway point in an otherwise 3 hour drive either way. We both wanted mexican and a fruity drink to pair it with to to indulge over years passed. The restaurant was bright, warm, inviting, and somewhat cozy. The service was prompt the the food even quicker. Outstanding portions for a solid price. The drinks were made quickly and lasted the entirety of our time devouring chips, salsa, and don't forget to order the queso blanco *chef's kiss*
So would I drive an hour and 20 mins again to try something else on their menu? Hmm I'm pretty sure I could find a reason to come back to rock falls, if nothing else, it would certainly be this restaurant.

I dined here with a large group. The food was enjoyable. I had the chicken and beef fajitas, which were good, but I asked for cheese on top and they ended up putting it on the rice instead. The place was tidy and ready for a fiesta!

El Tapatia is a gem! The vibrant atmosphere and warm service make every visit a joy. Their tacos al pastor are bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced with fresh cilantro and onion. The homemade salsas add a delightful kick, and the margaritas are top-notch. Portions are generous, very prices are fair, and the salsa is great. Highly recommend this authentic Mexican spot for a delicious and good service!
