“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.“

“Giovanni was my server and companion for my lunch. He was so attentive and personable. The guacamole was so fresh it tasted as if they had just pulled the avocados from the vine. My Margaritas were some of the best I've ever tasted. Even the refried beans tasted like they had just come from an open fried grill. Mucho Gracias Margaritas!!!!!!!“

“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.“
