Came to El Tampico for the first time. The food was alright. The salsa was pretty good. Very smooth with no chunks at all – I like to have chunks in my salsa personally. I ordered two carne asada tacos and a side of refried beans. The tacos were really good. The steak was well marinated and had a great flavor. The beans on the other hand were thick and had no flavor whatsoever. My mom got a regular soft ground beef taco. She enjoyed it but wished there was more cheese. My friend got the burrito supreme. He loved it. He also got a side of guacamole, which he said is the best. I will say the service was very slow.

A funky little spot with very good food and good service. Nothing fancy and certainly not a date night place. But the food is very good. Everythimg is fresh and well prepared and presented. The
servers are friendly and helpful. The music is definetly Mexican. The beer list could be deeper. But they have what you need. Try it, you wont be disappointed.

Food was excellent. Salsa was like ketchup though. I enjoyed a steak salad. Chips are a hit and miss sometimes taste like grease and other good.

I took one bite and was done! Food horrible , taste was bad. The waitress was rude and told me that their company policy is to take the food I ordered and even brought a to go box to the table. I asked to order an alternative meal and she told me I could at full price. She and the manager agreed in Spanish and I left. Will Never eat at the colerain or any of their locations again! I avoid confrontation at all cost . I paid for my guests meal and left silently.

Food was good ,but very hot without knowledge of it being hot. Menu are not to family for English speaking Americans. I like eating here, but they Cater to Spanish people mostly. You are in America now, so your service should be more friendly to local people.

Do not eat here. Visiting the area for work. I am from South Texas and know my Mexican food well and have had some in many states. Most of the clientele were old guys drinking and gossiping and drinks. Drunk dude at the bar kept eye balling me and the other drunk guy sat right behind me after I walked in. Thought I was gonna have to stand up but I moved to be able to see him instead. He stared at me and then left. He was a favorite of the waitress apparently.Ordered tostadas and the meat tasted old and was not fresh at all. It was so bad I tossed it out. Waste of $15 for three tostadas no less. No beans, no rice, no salad. $5.00 old meat tostadasa. I ended up going to Taco Bell, which was actually better. The green salsa was the best thing here and was very good. I may come by just to buy that but will not order food here again. Made me ill after tasting it and took me a while to be able to eat. Don’t eat across the street either. Food was not good and lady has an attitude if you do not speak Spanish or whatever she spoke. Condescending and rude. Not a good match will sub tasty food.

Me and my family enjoyed El Tampico Mexican Restaurant we all had a good time. My favorite thing about this place is the waiters are like family and always are quick with drinks and food.

I was having a hard time with the menu a lot of the items were in full Spanish so you couldn’t tell what the dish was even by the picture without translating with Google.
They only had bottles of Coke so if you wanted another Coke during your meal you paid full price for another one cost was around $4 a piece for a 16 oz diet Coke and 12 oz Coke in glass bottle.
I ordered a chicken chimichanga and my husband got the molcajete tampico. The portions were decent, the prices were ok my husband’s dish was around $30 and my chicken chimichamga was around $10, only complaint I had was the red sauce they poured over my chimichanga it was more like red water than a sauce the flavor was off and it soaked everything on my plate to the point that my rice and beans were now pretty much soup on my plate. My husband enjoyed his dish so I don’t want to leave a bad review cause of one dish. I plan to go back and try something different and see if it’s better than the chinichamga I’d got this time.
