“Walked in hostess was just telling people to sit where they want that the bar was open, seemed kinda lazy instead of walking us to a table. We had returned to eat the Cheesesticks which we love the Nashville Hot and the Chipotle flavor. Fresh food, waiter checked in many times and got us everything we needed.“

“My family and I dinner here on Friday, Aug 29. The service was amazing. I had mole, my son had civeche, my daughter in law had a torata, I ordered an order of supreme nachos for daughter to take home to her, and my granddaughter had beans and rice. We also shared the fried cheesecake. The food was really good. Prices are the same as any other restaurant. We will definitely eat there again. I was happy they serve mole because it is my favorite dish and most places do not serve it.“

“Just had dinner there last week and I feel that El Tap continues to serve good food, and has done so since it's opening several decades ago. I love their salsa and chips; I particularly like that it has no cilantro since cilantro always tastes bitter to me. Their cheese dip great, too! My favs at El Tap are choripollo, quesadilla relleno and the Jalisco (chicken, beef & shrimp) fajitas over rice with cheese on top. They've added new items in recent years, both American and Mexican options, so there's bound to be something for everyone to enjoy.

Parking: Moderate amount of free, on site parking; no trouble finding parking unless it's very busy.

Kid-friendliness: This is a kid-friendly restaurant with many items on the menu that children would like. The atmosphere is not too stuffy, so parents should feel comfortable bringing their littles along for a night out.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps up to the entrance at the Jefferson Ave entrance and I believe there's now a ramp type walkway at the Willow Ave store. Both stores have tables that would accommodate wheelchair seating.“
