Tried it and the chicken was juicy, it had a very good flavor. We also ordered quesabirrias, they are not like your typical tacos, they are a bit larger, and the tortillas are homemade!! They are really good!! Also ordered a potato (like the ones you get from the farmers market) and put asada on it, it was honestly the most delicious papa(baked potatoe) I have had. I got my line with jalapeños on the side. This was better than Javis in Visalia! Tried the enchiladas with onions and cheese and side of rice and beans, the cheese and onions is the filler or chicken, those enchiladas tasted so authentic. And the red Chile here is good too! My husband got tacos and loved them and the asada sopes were delicious as well! We will definitely be going back. We tried this place because it's new in our small town. I highly recommend, the girl who took the order was super helpful and nice. She was also wearing a mask. The restaurant itself is kind of small and forgot to ask about inside dining. Also I warmed up my quesobirria taco that I saved for later in my air fryer it was perfect after. Let me just say WOW. This place is so good!!!!!! Our family of 5 absolutely loved this place!

Service was counter ordering with staff delivery to the table. Prices were very fair. Ambiance: Chito's reminded me of some of the small town or city's edge places i often visited in Mexico. It felt like it too, with the videos of mariachis playing continuously. I saw a big sign for Menudo & Pozole and since I dearly love me some Pozole, and figured that it would be good from here, I bought a quart to go. It came with chips and all the condiments you would want, and a portion of that wonderful hot sauce to add to it to make it however hot you want it. Undoubtedly it was the best Pozole I have ever eaten. I'm only sorry it's so far to drive to pick up more. But I WILL do it Try this place out if you haven't. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. For the type of restaurant that it is, I can do not but rate it FIVE STARS.

I can't help but gush about this hidden gem we discovered during our trip ! We were so impressed that we stopped by twice during our journey. This Mexican restaurant has completely won us over with its exceptional food, warm ambiance, and impeccable service, the cleanliness of the place was remarkable . The portions of the dishes are incredibly generous, ensuring you get your money's worth. But it's the taste that truly sets this place apart. The Menudo is an absolute must-try. Its rich flavors and comforting warmth left our taste buds dancing with delight. And if you're a fan of Birria, you're in for a treat! The Birria here is nothing short of explosive with flavor; it's simply amazing ! house salsa - wow! It's a tantalizing blend of spices and freshness, perfect. Cucumber juice, I highly recommend it. But what truly made our dining experience exceptional was the lovely owner. They were not only friendly but genuinely sweet and welcoming, making us feel like cherished guests. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this Mexican food. We can't wait to return and indulge in their delicious offerings once more! read more

El Tapatio doesn't waste time with frills. You walk in, order at the counter, pay first, eat later…read more Respect. The staff is patient, even when you're staring down the menu like it's a test you didn't study for. The place fills fast. By the time I was halfway through my meal, the room was packed, heavy wooden tables, yellow walls, colorful figures scattered around, ranchero music cutting through the chatter. It's the kind of noise that tells you people actually want to be here. I went with the chile relleno. The rice? Basic, nothing to write about. The beans? Solid, especially with cheese melted over the top, the kind of detail that makes you nod mid‑bite. The relleno itself was the star: tender chile stuffed with cheese, soft breading, and a sauce that carried real flavor. Every forkful reminded me why this dish is a staple. Drinks come in to‑go cups, which threw me at first, but it fits the vibe, practical, no nonsense. El Tapatio feels like a place you can drop into for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and know you'll walk out fed, satisfied, and maybe humming along to the music. It's not trying to reinvent Mexican food. It's just serving it straight, and serving it well.
