El Tipico is amazing! We will be back soon, but we have lived in the area for a long time and never got a chance to try. Finally stopped one night when we couldn’t figure out what to have. We didn’t regret going, the food is so fresh and workers are so pleasant.
September 2025
Service was really slow. 15 minutes before the waitress came to our table. 30 minutes to get waters to our table. 1 hour to get food. People that arrived 30 minutes after us got their food before we did. One small basket of chips and salsa for 5 people. The waitress never came to check on us for anything. I got my meal and it didn't come with the peppers and onions inside. It took 8 minutes to flag down the waitress and then another 10 minutes for her to bring out the peppers...

I’ve had food from this place twice and food was good but unfortunately the third time I went to order the person taking orders was super rude that I had to say never mind. It’s a shame because this going to scare customers away from coming back
