Great neighborhood spot! Friendly staff, authentic decor from Mexico. The food was so fresh and made with few ingredients- You could really enjoy the flavors. The fresh guacamole was probably the best that I’ve ever had- so delicious. There was just the right amount of cilantro and lime- it was so savory! We never leave a Mexican restaurant without enjoying fried Ice cream!!! It was a little different than we’re use to, but just as good! I’ll definitely have it again.
Went to this restaurant with my coworkers for a team event. The food was delicious! I had the Lunch Supreme Enchiladas. The environment is very inviting with lovely music and festive decor. Only thing that could improve is the service, but it appeared they were short staffed and the server did the best she could. I would definitely recommend the restaurant for the food and ambiance.
Love this place for great Mexican food and good margaritas. We've been coming here since we moved to the Wakefield area over 2yrs ago. On Tuesdays they do have 1.25 tacos either soft or hard. 👍🌮
Today I had a fajita taco salad andy husband had ACP he loves it here. I had a strawberry mango margarita.
Service is also fast and good. They also have outdoor sititmg, we've brought our dog with us and sat outside on several occasions too.🐾🥰👌
First time trying this place after passing it thousands of times and I am so happy I finally stopped! Affordable, nice portions with friendly service! The food was flavorful without being overpoweringly spicy hot. I can't wait to go back!

Great service and the food was amazing. We ordered grilled shrimp over rice, chicken over rice minus seasoning for my son :), Texas Tornado Burrito and Pollo Hawaiino.

Chips and salsa was amazing.
The burrito special was very good as well. Seemed like everything was fresh.
My wife had the steak quesadilla and loved it.
I'm not sure who the cook(s) were but they are keepers. If these cooks have been around a long time then it seems it might be hit or miss regarding food quality depending on who is cooking that day.

2nd time back since June.
The food has gotten pretty bad over the last couple of months.
Chips were stale. Salsa had some heat but no flavor.
Shrimp tacos were terrible. I couldn't find any shrimp and they were flavorless.
Not sure what is going on, but editing my assessment.
From June 2023:
Our overall experience was above average...
The complimentary chips and salsa appetizer was very good and addictive 🙂
Sweet tea was very good.
Shrimp tacos were very good.
The Taco Salad was average.
The service was very good timely and friendly.
Our space was clean. The overall appearance seemed to be clean.
Too expensive for 1 enchilada (a piece of lettuce) 1 taco (salty cheese and beef, no lettuce, tomato, or scallion) and a huge aluminum pan of smashed pinto beans no taste and a small bag of nachos w/sauce no taste to it, no sour cream or guacamole priced @7.36.
Always good food at reasonable prices. Indoor and outdoor seating. Our favorite.
We often try other Mexican restaurants, but keep coming back to El Tapatio. The problems they had following Covid have been totally addressed. The food it always good. The service is typically both rapid and helpful We often go for lunch, when they have daily specials for $6+. We have not been able to find a better combination of food, service, and price. Recommended.
OMG !!! Food is all about FLAVOR & they have it. We have been to many Mexican food places in search of TASTE & they have it.
Great service too. What an awesome place.
Very nice place for some Mexican food! The portions are just right for one or to share. The staff was helpful, attentive, and friendly.
Great place. Service is always fast and friendly. Food is very good and their fresh guacamole is awesome and HUGE.
Their street tacos are awesome and so is their service. The food is very good here. The only thing I would change is the cleaning chemicals they use. It smells like the chemicals used during the peak of Covid. Please change to something more pleasant smells.
Excellent food! So glad we stopped in to try this place. The camarones al mojo de ajo were amaaaazing. Even the guac salad was really good-very fresh-tasting ingredients.
