Food was great and service was good too. Just note that the dinner portion ms are huge!!! Well worth it but would definitely share next time than all of us ordering.

The food was sooo good!!!

burrito was enormous ( my friend ordered) street tacos were normal size versus the small ones I’ve usually had other places, the carne asada (my daughter loved) my aunt ordered the fajitas and she said they were good. My mom ordered the taco salad and said it was delicious.

The food was good. We went for a late lunch on a Thursday. It was a little quiet. The restaurant is large, new & clean. We both got a lunch menu item & sodas & our bill was under $30. Very affordable, in my opinion. If you're from the southwest, it's not as spicy as we like it, be prepared for that. I got the chimichanga & would probably get fajitas next time.

The food was delicious. I started with a wing appetizer and was amazed with how well they were made and the rest of the food was fantastic. The strawberry mango margarita was also very good

Well I ordered from door dash and was given a completely incorrect order. Since the number matched the confirmation for the dasher no refund there. So I call El Tap and explained what happened. They were so helpful… we will remake and you can come get it now. (25 minutes away mind you). I said that won’t work can I get it tomorrow? No we can’t do that either. And no refund. So I am put $17 and dinner? Her thanks! No wonder Romo’s is kicking ya’lls butt. All I wanted was chips and salsa and chorizo dip. Got some weird tortillas with no salsa and refried beans.

We ordered take out and the food was
warm, and the portions were large. The sides of rice and beans were flavorful, as well as the dishes. We had burritos, quesadillas, and an enchilada. All were hits.

However, we were missing one of our meals and ended up sharing. Despite being printed on the ticket, it never made made it in the bag. While the medium chips and salsa were absolutely enormous, the salsa tasted like
marinera sauce, and was blended smooth.

This restaurant is a tentative try-again, as the food quality was able to make up for
the faults.

This place is great. Great chips and salsa, quick service during lunch. The grande burrito is massive but nothing special.
However, the Chile Verde is the best I've ever had. That's the picture I posted. I highly recommend this.
The portions are big and employees are very friendly.

Restaurant was very hot, unpleasant. Food mediocre, ground beef completely tasteless. They cook it hours ahead of time and keep it hot in water until serving. Only good thing was my daughter's fajitas. Hot, fresh and delicious. Server was excellent; however, male servers hung around our table, gawking at my Granddaughter. Very upsetting. Should have spoken with a manager, but just wanted to leave. Good service and fajitas are not enough of a reason to return.

Kid-friendliness: Not really

Wheelchair accessibility: No. Incline to get into the front door difficult to manage using ambulatory assistance.
