This is the best Mexican restaurant I have been to. The food is excellent. I have been there twice now. You get a lot of food for the price. Delicious. I will not go to any other restaurants.

This place is always a pleasant experience. The food and drinks are the best. I recommend the Chile rellenos (stuffed bell peppers) with a frozen lime margaritas. 😋

Went with my family of 7 of us! Food was ok- not horrible, but not great- bland tasting- but have had worse! What was upsetting and out of line was being charged $4.25 for an unsweet teas and sodas! My husband had a beer for same price! This is highway robbery! No reason for that and ESPECIALLY for two kid drinks! We’ll definitely stick with Tapitios on Memorial! WAY BETTER FOOD and no price gouging!

Portion size was very nice, but the flavor was not what I was expecting from what was supposed to be an authentic Mexican food spot. The taquitos and flautas we're burnt with the burnt meat coming out. The tacos had a dime sized portion of meat stuffed with lettuce and cheese but didn't even fill up half of the hard taco shells. The street tacos were so dry like the meat had been under a heating lamp all day. They gave us a 2 oz Togo container for a $4 or $5 chips and queso. The tamales were extremely bland but full of chicken. Some of the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten in my life. Definitely

1st time at Tapatios today (12/07/21). 100% enjoyable experience and highly recommended. Nice to see so many staff with big smiles on their faces, including the kitchen staff we could see from our bar perch. Excellent attentive and friendly service, tasty food, and comfortable environment.

It was ok. It wasn't really authentic Mexican food. I love Mexican food and this one just didn't make it. I had a burrito and got less than what I was expecting. The beans and cheese weren't even inside, and what made up the burrito was chicken. Only chicken. The staff was great but it wasn't my cup of tea. I'm sure others love it but you should experience it for yourself because maybe you will like it more than I did.

Very decent restaurant. The decor is very impressive and the food portion is big. Fajitas remains the best dish.

First time here and it was perfection. The food is so good you'll want to order more. And the ambience is just the right vibe. Adding Tapatio's to my favorite restaurants list. Yum in the tum!

Food was delicious. All 3 of us enjoyed our food. Refills on our teas came quickly. Server was quick to bring stuff out. The restaurant was clean. Little bit of a wait to be seated but nothing too long (less than 10 minutes).
