Editorial Review

While certain regulars claim the quality of El Tapatio's traditional Mexican grub and professionalism of the servers has gradually declined, this colorful spot still packs them in on weekends. People either love or hate the well-priced selection of traditional Mexican items like enchiladas, chimichangas and chicken breast with mango sauce. Mexican tiles and Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo prints cover the walls, while the stiff margaritas will knock you on your culo.
