I think this place has the best beef fajitas in town. They have a drive through or you can dine in. They have very nice paintings on two of the walls, and it feels very cheerful when you're inside. We went on a Sunday afternoon, and the service was very good. The food came very quick, the wait staff is very nice. It's a great place to go to eat Mexican food.

Food was soooo good . 10/10. Definitely recommend the chorizo breakfast quesadilla. Salsa and green salsa were the perfect heat and very good flavor to it. Pancakes were cooked good as well. Restaurant was clean and service was good and fast! The paintings were so beautiful. I recommend this place for breakfast or lunch or dinner.

Delicious Huevos Rancheros! House-made corn tortillas. Nice coffee. Over-medium eggs cooked just right. Right amount of spice in the salsa. Will eat here again.

Food was great . My only complaint is the waitress did not speak any English but acted as she did . So I ended up getting 2 plates instead of 1 when I changed my mind and wanted something else . She didn’t get it . I ended up with the street tacos and the Birria . I recommend getting the cheese birria . The plane needed some salt . The place was clean however I didn’t go to the bathroom . Food was top notch . The caldo was also yummy .

I went for takeout today and only received half my order. I call and went back and was told there was nothing they could do. I advised I would give a bad review and she told me "I don't care". I guess it's worth $7 to lose a long time customer.

Food was authentic and delicious! Best tacos I've had in a long time! Will be back! Food ready as well quickly. Husband steak ranchero dish too that was awesome

Food here is the BOMB. Not to mention the price makes me a frequent regular. Looking for some quick, cheap, and yummy tacos? Here's the place.

Called ahead for Pick up! Food was ready within 10 minutes. My chicken enchiladas and Fajita Quesadilla were AMAZING plenty of delicious cheeses and meat steak and chicken both were bursting with flavor. Ordered extra pico and hot sauce and she threw in some queso and salsa picante and a few different hot sauces! The guacamole was buttery savory needless to say I'll be picking up food there very soon.

I'd eaten at this place once before a while back, but I really didn't remember anything about it. I thought it was time to give it another go, so I placed a to-go order of one of my usual Mexican standbys: a torta and a quesadilla. I chose the shrimp torta, and a cheese quesadilla with no meat. The quesadilla came with rice and beans.The standout items for me were the rice and beans, especially the beans. I tend to judge a Mexican restaurant on the quality of its refried beans, and El Tapatio might just have the best tasting refried beans I've tried in Huntsville. They were perfectly seasoned, the texture was just right, and after I finished them I was left wanting more of them. The rice was also excellent in terms of seasoning and texture. Give me a couple of tortillas and a plate full of these beans and this rice, and I'd be perfectly happy.Unfortunately, the main items were just OK. The torta tasted like just about every other torta you'd get served at most places, and the shrimp had no flavor at all. You literally could not taste it. The quesadilla likewise was fine, generously filled with Mexican white cheese, but there was absolutely nothing special about it whatsoever. Maybe that's why I don't remember anything about my first visit; the food just wasn't that memorable.After reading some of the other reviews, I have to say that I didn't have the issues with service that other patrons seem to have experienced. They were courteous, the food came out quickly, and they didn't make any mistakes on my order.Would I go back to El Tapatio? Sure. They're not too expensive, the food is decent (if unremarkable), and there are a few other items on the menu I'd like to try.
Best mini tacos ever. Always get the horchata. Friendly and quick service. When I'm in town I always stop here.

I love their enchiladas and burrito. Their chips are crispy with hot salsa! Yummy place to eat on a budget and be full when you leave.

Went to this restaurant two days ago and ordered something from their lunch menu. When they handed me the receipt, I noticed they charged me more than menu price so I asked why. They said its because it isn't 11am yet (it was 10:58). I replied, "So you're charging me dinner pricing at 10:58am?" They said yes, so I cancelled my order and left. Two days later, I logged into my checking account and noticed they still charged me so I called the restaurant and talked to the manager. They refused to do anything about it even though I cancelled my order immediately after ordering. This wasn't the first problem I've had with this restaurant. Will never order from them again. Some of these 5 star reviews sound like they came from employees. Considering this restaurant's shady behavior, that wouldn't surprise me.

In Huntsville today and came into El Tapatio! Food was great, service was excellent and the restaurant was clean as usual. Some items prices have been adjusted as most other restaurants but I find them to still have extraordinary value for the quality of food and what you get. The warm salsa was accompanied by chilled green sauce and a side of queso. I had Melon Fresca and the picadillo beef enchilada with the crispiest flauta I've ever had. I saw a couple of poor reviews but I can tell you as far as I can see they are working hard and doi a great job!
