This is a small hometown feel restaurant. It seems everyone knows each other. The waiting staff is super friendly and appear to love their job!
They bring chips and salsa to the table as soon as you order your drinks. For the main course, we ordered the chicken fajita (no bell peppers) and a pick 3 (2 tacos and 1 enchilada, all with ground beef and gluten-free). Their portions are huge! And their prices are even better. The food was hot and delicious. They used the perfect amount of seasoning and spices; it wasn’t over the top. They had several gluten-free free options.
The waiting staff was very attentive as well. The atmosphere was very cozy. It felt like we were in a local taverna somewhere in the middle of a small village in Spain. Spanish music (sometimes mariachi) was playing over the speakers as well to give it even more of an authentic feel.
I would highly recommend this restaurant as your go-to for Mexican cuisine. Not only was the food great, but it was super fast service as well!

I paid $43 dollars and paid for extra rice that they did NOT give. Bad business on their part because I ordered ahead and still had it end up waiting when I got there about 15 minutes. No one in the front, no one greeted me for the first 5 minutes or so, and then you take money but get the order wrong lol? Please do better.

Absolutely delicious! Prices are average and reasonable. We use to go to another Mexican restaurant in Vero, BUT they raised their prices so much and didn’t update them on there menu, we decided never again. We were on the hunt for a new Mexican restaurant to eat at. Well we found it! Fish was cooked to perfection and was bigger than we thought it would be. It had a lot of meat on it. Really good portion of rice and beans! Some places are not serving the portion sizes they use to and raising the prices on top of that. We will definitely be eating here often.

Went for lunch and it was quite busy for both dine-in and takeout. Got a table within 15 mins. Food was excellent, I had the vegetarian burrito with rice.and beans along with a beer. Service.was fast and friendly. Kristen and another lady were working and knew all the regulars. Service was excellent and made you feel like family. I would highly recommend this Mexican restaurant. Really authentic food and excellent service, what else can you ask for. This is my new favorite restaurant.

Incredible meal. Lives up to its reputation. It was so good We ordered desserts. The fried ice cream was absolutely out of this world subtle flavors a little spicy chocolate deep fried absolutely to die for. And the churros … OMG. We ate and over ate and by the end of the meal and dessert were so stuffed and still had boxes for tomorrow’s lunch. Will definitely be going back and so should you.
This is my choice for my birthday dinner tonight. We read on TripAdvisor it was the number one Mexican restaurant in the area, around Vero. If you haven’t been here and you like Mexican foods you must go.
“Tapatio”, is Spanish for a Jalisco resident, they say.

Weekend lunch spot, hole-in-the-wall place but not a dive. Chips and salsa immediately, spicy too, great for me but not for the delicate tastebuds. Super burrito is wet, zero flaws. Beans need another pinch of salt. Rice is tasty but typical, worth having. Chimichanga was crispy and delicious. This is everything you want in a small fondita.

Always consistent food and excellent service. Frequent customer and recognized with our selections remembered by the staff! Unusual and delightful. A bit small so lunch usually is a madhouse. Takeout is also available. Go, I’m certain you will enjoy it.

My husband and I went to El Tapatio in Vero Beach for lunch on Tuesday last week. The atmosphere was quaint and inviting. The service by Kristin great! She was personable and attentive making sure we had everything we wanted. We started with chips and salsa that were so fresh. We both ordered 3 item dinner combos so we would have leftovers. I had a taco with ground beef, a burrito with shredded chicken, an enchilada with pork, beans and rice. Each item had its own distinct tasty flavor. Everything was delicious and they didn’t skimp on the meat. We even got an order of flan to go for dessert. We’ll definitely be back!

We were a party of six, everyone enjoyed their food. Located in a plaza, it is a small restaurant so I recommend a reservation if you have a party of more than 4 people. Our waitress was excellent.

After reading the reviews, me and my husband decided to give this place a try, since we’re visiting from out of state,it’s a hit or miss even with great reviews, but I must admit, the food was quite delicious, we were greeted by Ebony who was very pleasant from the beginning and very patient as we made our mind on what to eat. I had the Nachos with shredded chicken and my husband had pollo a la parrilla (grilled chicken) the chicken was cooked perfectly and juicy to our surprise, it was also hot and juicy fresh from the grill! Many of the locals seemed to be enjoying their meals as well, Ebony new them by their names. The place was neat. Will absolutely visit again.
