We’ve been coming here for several years. Even before COVID and during COVID as well. What kept us coming back was the “molé” sauce. Many Mexican restaurants only offer red or green sauce. Molé is very complex and no two are alike. This had a touch spice and complex flavors. We visited last Sunday. I had my usual cheese enchiladas with molé mainly because I’m vegetarian and there’s not much to choose from for me. But I’ve always been happy with the dish. Gradually we noticed a decline in flavor. This time was the last for me. I told waitress. It was very bland and watered down. I couldn’t finish it. I thought ok well I’ll take the rest home and doctor it up. But I wound up throwing it out. The Fall inspired sangria was supposedly a cinnamon flavor but it was just another sangria to me. I made sure to tell the server to speak with the chef because basically…. We won’t be returning. She said “sorry” and walked away. Well that’s not good for business because word of mouth can make or break a business. I think they’re cutting corners. We will go elsewhere.

My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Chips and salsa ( green and red) were immediately served. My Margarita was perfect! Not too sweet. I ordered enchiladas with green salsa. Very good very flavorful. My husband ordered a chimichanga and had no complaints. Can’t wait to return to try other dishes.

Authentic, cozy restaurant. DELICIOUS traditional Mexican specialties and all the best staples. We tried 4 different dishes, and all 4 were perfect. Our waitress was so attentive and friendly AND THE MANGO MARGARITAS were fantastic!!!

Decent Mexican restaurant with a typical menu you’d expect. Quality of the food was fine but it was missing something as far as flavor was concerned. We all asked for the spiciest level of sauce on our chimichangas and enchilada but found them to be lacking and had to pour a lot of extra sauce on top.

Would not recommend. Waited over an hour for our food. They give you a spoon of sour cream and then wanna charge you a dollar extra for more. Poorly seasoned steak in tacos. Use gyro meat in the fajitas even though the menu says skirt steak. Didn’t even get our drinks while we waited for our food. Food was cold. Would literally never come back.

Strong margaritas! Tasty carne asada dish, nobody really there but staff was very nice. Btw gratuity is included in the bill.

Ordered the steak sopes, and it was pretty good. Came with your normal toppings: beans, steak, lettuce, and avocado. The food was fresh and seasoned well. The steak fajitas were also good and full (meaning they weren’t cheap on the portions).
Only the first basket of chips and salsa is free (comes with red salsa and green salsa). I preferred the green one.
Alittle further from the boardwalk and seems like a slightly different part of the neighborhood.

Went for a date night in December and it was a great place to go. The seating was good and the food was fantastic. Attached is a picture of the chorizo tacos, which were so good. The rice and beans left a little too be desired (in terms of flavor) but they were a nice side. My go-to Mexican joint in Asbury has been Loteria but La Tapatia is now a serious contender, especially if I’m hankering for more traditional Mexican.

This is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant! Here are a few of my favorite things: al pastor chimichanga, chicken mole tamale, and the steak quesadillas. Both the green and red salsa they give you for the table are good. The sangria is AWESOME and I’m picky with sangria. I would recommend the red if you like red and peach if you prefer something lighter.
