Reviews For El Tapatio Guadalupe

We've seen this spot plenty of times while driving up North, well we finally decided to stop by and so glad we did. You know being Mexican we are really picky when it comes to Mexican food, there are certain things I would not order specially if we can make it at home and way better. Sopes are one of those items, these were actually very good not hard at all like you usually find in different joints. I really loved the fact that they make the tortillas here, made the soft tacos taste even better. The pico de gallo and chiles they give with the chips are very good with a nice little kick to them. So is the little bowl of beans they give you with some chile verde inside, that's very good. This is a spot to sit and enjoy the very delicious food being prepared pretty much in front of you, so if you don't have much patience for waiting I would say call ahead of time. Very friendly owners, we would definitely come back here if in the area or just to make the drive out here lol.

Love this place. Keeps getting even better with each visit. Tapatio is my #1 go to when entertaining guests from out of town. Authentic cuisine in a warm welcoming family environment. The lunch specials are out of this world. Salsas and pico are super fresh and satisfying

We were traveling through Guadalupe and wanted to find a Mexican restaurant. This restaurant did not disappoint. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious and the service was perfect. Although we live Idaho we would definitely come back here again.

The server was absolutely marvelous and very attentive. The place is dated but has its charm. Food is good but contains too much oil for our taste. Will definitely stop by again for lunch.
