Reviews For El Tapatio Restaurant Sioux City

Well, I ordered the vegetarian fajitas, they were good. I've had more variety of veggies at diff mexican restaurants. Was still good though. We had 6 in our party. We had the large cheese dip which was delicious. I ordered a michelada and that was awesome, then we ended up ordering the crazy cowboy margarita. That comes in a plastic cowboy hat so be prepared. It took us awhile to drink that but it was good! I enjoyed chewing on the mexican candy straw. Our other orders included: bean burrito, 2 beef tacos, el carbon enchiladas, and a platter of some sort, pops and our bill was 121. I'd say pretty great on prices. Our waitress didn't chk on us until we were almost done w our food. We were 1 of 2 tables. Pick it up on the service and it'd be great. It was a tad chilly in there but we are below 0 weather. Thank you for everything.

Wonderful local place with delicious food. I had the Chori Pollo with a light cheese sauce. Our waitress was polite and attentive. We got lucky and they were running a special on all draft beer for only a buck! Can’t beat that. Wish I was a local so I could return more often.

The Enchiladas Tipicas (3 ground beef enchiladas with rice and beans) I ordered were delicious! The rice and beans are authentic and very delicious! The service was amazing as well! I will definitely come back here again!

Love this place. I've never had a disappointing dinner. Go see Miguel, the best waiter ever, so nice, and treats us right! Try the strawberry banana margaritas. You will not be disappointed.
