The fajitas was like. They cooked it in a big pot and dipped it out onto a hot plate, not traditional that I’m aware of and lack any real burst of flavor mostly onions and bell peppers needed lots of excitement which it didn’t have the guacamole. And beans were absolutely flat.
I can’t imagine where they are. Getting their following unless it is the portion, it was very large more than I wanted. Give me a little bit of something very good.Not a whole lot of something that’s mediocre
Wouldn’t let me post photographs?But I encourage you to look at the fajitas, and you will see what i’m talking about.It never touched the grille

Waiter was rushed. Not very good customer service.
The girl that brought are food was great. She was very tall and the bartender. Had trouble with a gift card. Manager was short and curt. Made comments to two other customers in Spanish when he attempted to run card. I assured him the bill would be taken care of and it was. I don’t believe we will return. We did not feel very welcome in his restaurant.

Loved our experience here so much that we came back two weeks later! The food delicious and authentic and the service is really great. I honestly can’t wait to go back and try something else off the menu!

Do NOT come here if you have dietary restrictions. After calling and speaking to the manager on the phone we were assured that enchiladas can be made gluten free. When we ordered we double checked and made sure everything we ordered was gluten free. My husband was served flour tortillas despite all of our precautions. I appreciate them taking the enchilada off our bill, and offering to remake it. Our waitress was great. But celiac disease is serious. These kinds of mistakes can kill people. My husband had to go make himself vomit in the bathroom.
Please please please educate your kitchen staff better.

Solid aesthetic, vibe and exceptional service, like beyond attentive staff, so 5 stars for that.
As a native Arizonan, a half hour away from the Mexico border, it’s going to take a lot to impress me with Mexican food. El Tapatio was no exception, and no impression.
Subpar, canned south of the border food. But. The beans and rice were top notch. Kids meals are exceptionally valued, and large. They give you free chips and salsa which is quite rare in the PNW, even though it’s standard in the Southwest. Only caveat, they’re not the thin, crispy, salty variety you’re craving, they’re the thicker, dense, fried in old oil kind. Total bummer.
I much prefer the carnitas at Rigoberto’s or even Chipotle, I know, shoot me now. But seriously, when all you taste is the actual animal meat, sans seasoning. No thank you. The beef tacos were drenched in liquid taco seasoning, and the green sauce was straight up sour canned flavor. But. Those rice and beans. Definitely not the usual PDX Mexican flair, definitely more of an attempt at authenticity. And again, stellar service.

I love El Tapatio!!! Their food is so delicious & their drinks were really good too!! They bring you hot chips and salsa to start with. They have a bar side and a restaurant side. They have slot machines in the bar side. Our servers were really nice and attentive. We drank some yummy Cadillac Rocks Margaritas I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others. I ordered the super burrito & my sister ordered an enchilada and two tacos off of the “a la carte” menu it was delicious!!! We also ordered churros for dessert

Family went to eat there yesterday 1/10/26 at around 2pm. Food was cold, tasted terrible, waiter forgot two of our orders and the waiter kept eyeing my 16 year old daughter and made her feel uncomfortable. That night 2 of us had severe stomach cramps diarrhea and vomiting. Never again will I go there.

Good Mexican food, family and crowd friendly since 1984. Fun decor, and servers do work with us. Simple with a few speciality items which fits this location well.Good prices, and large portions. Servers are all ages and experiences, so senior staff helps. Overall caring pleasant staff. They work with my food allergies too.

Best Mexican food in town!! Their chips and salsa are amazing. I got the combo number 2 and it was so good. I’m not a huge rice fan but their rice and beans were wonderful.
