We've finally concluded that Cafe El Tapatio is our go-to Mexican place. Like Chinese food, you just have to have YOUR place, and Tapatio is definitely our family's go-to Mexican. Food is always fresh, good quality, good portions, and the family and workers are friendly and caring about the people they serve. Just overall a great place!!!

I had the worst meal I've had in years at Café El Tapatio. I went there with my spouse, two kids, and a friend visiting from London, and the experience was a complete letdown. We started with guacamole, which was decent, but let’s be honest—guacamole is hard to mess up. The shrimp and spinach empanadas were forgettable at best. The real disaster, however, was the main course. The enchilada suizas were greasy, tasteless, and completely inedible. I was recommended a house specialty that turned out to be a grilled chicken fillet smothered in a disgusting layer of melted cheese. I ended up scraping off the cheese and eating just the chicken. The sides of rice and beans were bland and lacking any flavor. The only saving grace was the margaritas—they were fantastic. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match up. Our waitress was overly intrusive, checking in every couple of minutes to ask if we wanted more drinks, which quickly became annoying. I've been to Café El Tapatio before, and while it was never amazing, it was at least decent. But after this experience, I don't think I'll ever return. It's gone from decent neighborhood Mexican food to really, really bad.

Always great service and food. The patio is nice and large so often has seating available. The last two times we’ve had the same server and she’s been great. Highly recommend the margaritas. Also save room for dessert and grab a fresh churro!

We have been to El Tapatio many times with our family. However, the last several times we noticed that the quality of food is not nearly as good as it used to be. Service: We found the hostesses were not particularly welcoming or even smiled when we checked in even though we were punctual and pleasant. However, the waitress was very energetic and nice. Atmosphere - It was early (5:15) and our D.R. was filled with families with children. However, one table had a baby the same age as our grandson and he screamed throughout the entire meal. It was so noisy we wish someone on the staff would have asked one parent to take the child out to calm him down so not to disrupt everyone else in the room. After they finally left, the diners all seemed relieved. Food: Nothing tasted like it was made fresh. All entrees were lukewarm, flavorless and lacked any quality. I had a burrito that scarcely had any meat in it (it was almost flat) and the same with my husband's entree. The rice probably sat on a steamer table as were the beans. None of the 4 entrees looked appetizing but thankfully we had drinks.

Natalia and the owner were both great to us! She was our waitress. She recommended a great appetizer and accommodated a special request.. He stopped at the table, chatted, and even gave us a house infused pineapple shot.
