    Arroz con pollo
    Lori K.

    The food was really very good! When we sat down, we were given a basket of warm chips with a deliciously fresh salsa. Just a touch of a spank. Chunky tomatoes & onions nice & cold! I ordered arroz con pollo . The waitress suggested I get the queso sauce & not the cheese. I did. It was a creamy white cheese sauce on top of perfectly cooked rice, sliced spiced tender chicken with wonderfully grilled mushrooms & onions. Plus a small salad . The Hubs got chicken mole. He loved it! It had a salad rice & beans. The chicken was plentiful & the mole was smoky & just a hint of sweetness. He said the beans & rice were very good. The service was great. She was attentive without being a ghost or a pest When we first walked in the floor was pretty dirty. I said something to my husband about it & the waitress must have heard me because she said she has been really busy & had no time to sweep ,as she got a broom & started to sweep. The place is typically decorated. Painted booths , Mexican colors. Overall it was a very enjoyable meal. We will definitely go back. The menu had some great looking lunch specials, however we had an early dinner.

    This is the Tapatio Diner for $28.95 with chicken,beef and shrimp

    El Tapatio is our favorite Mexican spot in Vero and the only one we eat at. The food is delicious and the staff are so friendly. This is a great place to either stop at and eat and order and take home. We love the enchiladas, tacos, chimichanga, margs, and queso. You cannot go wrong with stopping here and getting some really great and tasty Mexican food!

    California Burrito

    In and out in less than an hour. Inexpensive, flavorful food, excellent staff. Try the Arroz con pollo or California burrito.

    Do they take reservations?

    No.It's a small family restaurant. You will have to wait outdoors for a table.

    I was working in the area I found this place on Yelp! It's…read morepretty much located between a junkyard and a trailer park. The serious mostly seems like a commercial area. It's also sort of on the ghetto side which is super appealing to me The building is small and very easy to overlook. Thankfully the outside is painted orange so that it stands out. Outside they have a nice area to sit and eat with lots of shade and trees and they even have a stray cat that's hanging out looking for pets and food. This cat made the entire experience much better. She was even purring. The inside of the store is a grocery store of some sort well I have treats and drinks and miscellaneous things inside. If you go to the back you can order food there's a sign that shows the different plates they offer. I saw that they had the Tex-Mex taco so of course I got a Tex-Mex version and a regular Taco so I can compare the two. The lady who took my order answered all my questions about what was going on. You pay at the register and then pick up your food outside when they call it out to you. The food itself was really good. The taco shells had an interesting texture where was all flat. I'm betting that they're made somewhere close by. The tacos had a good amount of meat of them it was very filling. It was mostly the style where it's a lot of meat and a little bit of veggies. The bathrooms look like they recently had a makeover it seemed clean enough that I could go potty. I can't wait to get back here and try some of the other items on their menu. And their food is also priced at a very fair price compared to others around town.

    The tostada with ceviche was exquisite! Burrito was good as well but a little too grease for my…read moretaste.
