The salsa was like water, rice 0 flavor, beans straight out of a can no seasoning. My daughter tried chicken tacos, she took 1 bite and spit it out! I ate 2 steak tacos, lots of fat in the steak! Customer service was okay greeted us when we came in, we didn't complain about the food just left it uneaten on the table!

I’ve been here 2x now in 10 days. I’m a Mexican food snob - and this is hands down one of the BEST I’ve had in a minute! Highly recommend and I will be a regular.

Little hole in the wall with great street tacos! I had carnitas and Mexican rice. It was all made fresh and really delicious. Oy two people working there but they managed it well. Will definitely go back!
Friendly staff, clean interior, and a cozy vibe! This restaurant is now my favorite for genuine Mexican excellence!

Amazing! The 🌮 are killer good. So good, I haven't managed to order anything else on the menu. The staff is super friendly. This will be a weekly or every other week stop!

Tatema is a little hole in the wall restaurant, but let me tell you, their food is incredible! I am generally a person who doesn't like mexican food (at least the american version of it), however when I got tacos here for the first time, they were truly life changing. I have yet to branch out to any other food item, but their tacos alone are absolutely delicious! I would highly highly recommend you go there! I have introduced a handful of my family members to Tatema and they instantly loved it! The staff is also very friendly and it's a great place!

One of the best hidden gems around! I’ve been holding off on writing this because I selfishly wanted to gatekeep it—but it’s too good not to share. This place is amazing. The food takes me right back to my time living in California—authentic, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and my food is always ready fast with no long wait times. I come here religiously, and every single visit hits the spot. If you’re looking for real, quality Mexican food with great service, this is the place!
