Then to celebrate my niece birthday they brought fried ice cream . It was good , you have to try it. read more

Overall: 7/10 Food: 4/10 Presentation: 10/10 Service: 10/10 I had ordered the chicken fajitas and they came within maybe 10-15 mins along with a plate of toppings (guac, lettuce, tomatoes, rice, beans). Starting off, the guacamole was extremely bland. It tasted as if they just put avocado, onions, and cilantro and called it a day. No salt, tomato's, lime, etc. They also added a glop of sour cream on top of it... The rice also had no flavor and they used some kind of beans that did not taste mexican at all. The fajitas looked amazing! Came sizzling on a hot plate with peppers and onions. They tasted okay at first (besides being very bland) but then I guess I didn't eat them fast enough because they started burning onto the hot plate and eventually I was just tasting burnt chicken. Maybe that's on me for wanting more flavor haha. Our waitress was great, very sweet and present (especially with our refills). Would I ever go back? No. Would I recommend this place to anyone? No. But it's mexican food in Florida so what did I really expect haha. read more

We are from California and this is not even the same food, service, or quality as we are accustomed to. Waitress hardly checked on us and they didn't have our favorite bean dip or sweet corn garnish. Very disappointing. read more

I have eaten there many times and the services was good and food as well. But today August 10 2026 at 1:20pm, I went with a couple from church.

So I will be informing ALL MY FRIENDS, CHURCH MEMBERS, FAMILY AND ANYONE WHO ASK ABOUT MEXICAN RESTURANT TO STAY A WAY FROOM THIS ONE. This is from Tom... read more

Great Mexican restaurant in downtown Kissimmee!! Large restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. Fully stocked bar and delicious micheladas!! The food was also really delicious with a large variety to choose from. I wasn't as hungry and opted for tamales à la carte. I picked a chicken tamale with green sauce and OMG that salsa was and I got a pork tamale but the red sauce was horrible!! Basically canned tomato sauce which was very disappointing. So I would recommend not getting red sauce. Otherwise the other dishes were really good. The service was also very good! Friendly and fast. read more

I forgot to grab a pic of my tacos - but I got them with steak. Think I'd like chicken better - will try next time. Service was quick and friendly. The fried cheesecake was great. The horchata was super filling. Not as cinnamon-y as I like...and seemed to be a thicker milk. The location was easy to get in...cute outside seating - but we sat inside because it's summer in Florida. Spacious area and clean-no sticky tables. read more

it was dark and I was driving past and I saw El Tapatio all lit up nice and inviting so I decided to try it. Inside it's a fairly decent size restaurant. Lots of tables and booths. I was dining solo that night and kind of hungry. The appetizer selection didn't really thrill me very much. So I decided to skip it and just go with an entrée. They bought out the regular crispy chips and some salsa. Both were OK but nothing I would write home about. The server was very pleasant, very nice young lady. My order was shrimp with garlic sauce. It really wasn't all that good. There was no sauce and a lot of onions, which is fine but no sauce I mean where's the garlic sauce? My rice was dry and flavorless. My shrimp were dry and flavorous. The tortillas that they served were small and fell apart easily. They don't have any black beans in this restaurant, which I found unusual for a Mexican restaurant. And there were no refried beans on my plate, which I also found unusual for a Mexican restaurant combination. I tried explaining this to the server, but there was a language barrier. Overall, the restaurant is nice to look at and the people are friendly, but the food is really not that enjoyable. I would not go back personally. read more

From last year to this year the service was 100% improved. Grettel from Nicaragua gave us the best service experience that we ever had since we started coming to El Tapatio restaurant in Kissimmee about 15 to 17 years ago. My family of four is very grateful to have met Grettel today. I really recommend you to ask for her when you go visit the restaurant. You are never going to regret it! Thank you Grettel for such a great customer service, keep the excellent work going! We always come from Tampa to eat here at least once or twice a year. Sincerely, The Lopez Family. read more

Best mexican food in Kissimmee! Price and flavor are on point! Great service and fast.

By far one of the best Mexican restaurants in Kissimmee. I have yet to have any Mexican food in Kissimmee or Orlando that can top this Mexican restaurant. The staff are so kind and attentive. The restaurant is warm and inviting and very clean. The food comes out fast and it's so delicious and fresh. The prices are great very reasonable. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant. It is a favorite for many locals. read more

It's the group consensus: If we could give this place 7-stars.....we would! Our resume of eating at different Mexican restaurant across the nation and Mexico, will be a couple hundred different Mexican restaurants. - Molcajete dish: Absolutely killer. -Fajita dish: Absolutely killer and great tasting char to it all. - Steak and Shrimp dish: Absolutely killer and great flavor. - Rice and Beans: Both are excellent. The vibe to this place is great. Had a guy playing the xylophone. Place looks neat inside. Last but not least: The service was stellar, attentive and on the money our whole visit. read more

Arrived at the restaurant at 2:50 pm. The lunch menu ends at 3:00 pm. The waitress put my order in at 3:04 pm. Manager refused to honor the lunch menu price. Told the manager that the delay for the waitress to take my order is not my responsibility. Beware eating during the middle afternoon if you're close to the 3 pm cutoff for lunch to make an issue about this when you order. read more

If you're looking for a quick Mexican spot with a great lunch menu check this place out! I come here with my coworkers for their lunch specials, the carne fajitas were about 15.99 which is not bad compared to their dinner prices. Since they are a little restaurant in the corner of a street they are small with limited parking but the service is good because there are not a lot of people inside. Decorated like your traditional Mexican restaurant. Definitely a good lunch spot close to the hospitals! read more

El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant - Steak Only Fajitas Tapatias - Mexican Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

I ordered a Supreme burrito dinner, they served me an inside out burrito!! Lettuce and tomatoes were outside the burrito, the flour tortilla was a taco tortilla and a small slither of sour cream. The queso dip the large is a small(just a heads up) and on top of everything else the waitress was rude and did not even ask if we needed anything else. Oh and the burrito dinner didn't come with rice and beans as a dinner should!!! read more

Yes, wonderful authentic Mexican food with a great atmosphere. Been going here for over 15 years !! So good

My wife, son, and I came in for dinner and had a really bad experience. When our son ordered in English, the waitress made a rude comment to my wife (who is a Spanish speaker) about him not speaking Spanish, then added, "I guess we aren't doing so well," implying she had failed to teach him. My wife was offended by the remark. It was ignorant, unprofessional, and she should learn to keep her personal opinions to herself. From that point on, the waitress completely ignored me. I'm a white guy, and every time she came to the table, she turned her back to me and spoke only to my wife in Spanish--even when I asked questions directly. It was rude and dismissive. The food didn't help either--bland overall, and the tortilla chips had a strange sour aftertaste. We definitely won't be coming back. read more

I've been there once and order to go twice. Their food is good, molcajete, rice and beans are ok, the salad, meat... Staff are friendly. House margarita taste like lemon juice, but costs like a margarita. Environment is nice. That's it. To order a to go, you cannot call them, they don't accept To go orders by phone, you have to download an app or create an account to place the order, and pay a little bit more for that. read more

We were in Kissimmee for a Lego Brick convention and thought we would find a place to eat in the area. There were plenty of Mexican restaurants to choose from and based on reviews and the look of the place, we chose this place. The hot salsa is tasty and the pineapple and horchata agua frescos were amazing. Hubby ordered the molcajete and I chose flautas. The portions are generous and the food was authentically perfect. We've already said we would definitely make the 40 minute drive on a weekend to return. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended so we tried it. I will say the parking can be complicated because if you don't get one of the few spots in the front then you park on the side along trees or in the back of the restaurant. Once inside you definitely feel like you're in an authentic Mexican restaurant but the food was just okay to me. I typically order flautas at Mexican restaurants and they seemed pretty basic and not overly flavorful here, but the other people I went with said they liked their food. As for the service, the waitress was very nice but since they were so busy we waited quite a bit to get drinks refilled or to ask for something. I may go back on a week day to see if it's better, but overall it was an okay experience. read more

Went in for lunch and the parking was packed. Found a spot on the side near the trees, walked in and when he asked I'd be okay at the bar that's where I wound up. Was quickly served up chips and salsa which was tasty, thick chips held the salsa easily. Went with the lunch beef fajitas, refried beans with yellow rice for ($10) The beef was a good portion with tasty meat, a good scoop of rice and refried beans with some cheese on top. Quite tasty. read more

this place is just..... 15/10. DING DING DING!!!! The carne asada, delicious! Rice and Beans, delicious. Chips and Salsa, amazing. Fresh tortillas, amazing. Flan, so yummy i went back for more!!!! THE MARGARITA!!!! THIS is a margarita. I loved this place, not too far from where I live, not too expensive. The quality of food was amazing, i'm a picky eater when it comes to mean, but this was cooked to perfection. The service was great, we were checked up on consistently and our server was awesome at recommending things to enhance our experience. (During happy hour you can get 2 House Margs for the price of 1) I speak spanish but definitely have some words I have lost over the years, the server was able to speak both and help me find the words to figure out what things I was asking. I loved it here and i will definitely be back. You know the place is good when there's a woman sitting at the bar eating lunch, having a margarita and reading a book all by herself. If you're in the area, definitely stop in. read more

El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant - Beans, rice and Fajitas Tapatias - For 2 - Mexican Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

Mexican food is one of my top, favorite foods. I was looking for a Mexican restaurant that was all the hype, and I found it here at El Tapatio. When you first walk in, the aroma of the food gets your taste buds going. Then the chips, salsa, and beer pulls you in. My all time favorite is the chicken chimichanga. I think it's the crunchy outer layer, with the tender, juicy chicken inside. However, this restaurant pours queso over it, which I usually never allow, but today I was up for something a little different. I am so glad I tried it, the queso (which, to me makes everything better) made my dinner extra yummy, that I started dancing in my seat. I'm so happy I tried this place. I am officially making this my go to spot for everything Mexican style. I'll Be Back (In my Terminator voice). read more
