Tacos
Vivian M.

This place was recommended by the hotel concierge. I should say, this place is good! The service was fast. I noticed they have a lot of staff working from receptionist to waiters. The food came out real hot! The food is good. I ordered the combinaciones biria.. love it. My husband ordered the tacos, he was impressed too. The place is family-oriented!

This Mexican restaurant is a solid choice for a casual meal. The food is flavorful and satisfying, with classic dishes done well. Tacos, enchiladas, and sides hit the mark, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the service is friendly and attentive. Not the fanciest spot in town, but definitely dependable for a tasty Mexican meal.

Veggie enchiladas
Matt S.

I almost wasn't going to leave a review but decided I should at least give my opinion to warn others... the reviews on yelp seemed solid enough to try this place. Everything was less than mediocre at best. Chips: very stale. Salsa: way too much cilantro (and I like cilantro). Then I order something simple, Veggie Enchiladas. It was composed completely of frozen veggie mix (string beans, lima beans, cauliflower, carrots, etc)! Think high school cafeteria quality. I had almost ordered Veggie Fajitas. I wonder if they would have just dumped this mix into a skillet! The best thing on the plate was the rice. Service was fast but... scolding hot plate (not warm) was merely dropped off at my table without mentioning this. I found this out when I tried to move it. Ouch! Really no reason for it to be this hot. I was never checked on. I don't usually care about this (I'll ask if I need something) but other waiters seemed to be attentive to other tables. I did finally ask another waiter for my check. Lastly, middle of the night wake-up call and my stomach tolerates most things.

Cheese & Bean Nachos
Stacy M.

(2/5) We stopped in hoping for some great Mexican comfort food, but the nachos left us a little disappointed. While there was plenty of cheese, it was way too much -- almost smothering everything else. There were barely any beans & not enough tomatoes for my personal liking, so the flavor ended up being kind of flat and one-dimensional. The salsa was just okay -- almost mild with only a tiny hint of heat. Service was a bit slow, but our waitress was friendly and the kitchen got the order right, which we appreciated. Overall, not terrible, but not a place we'd go back to for nachos. Overall, place is festive but cold use a deep cleaning.

Veggie quesadilla
Mel Y.

3.5: first time in Page and not a bad place for a meal, with a large selection but not cheap prices and lackluster but relatively quick service. It looks a bit like a fast food place from the outside but it's a step up from there. They give you chips and salsa complimentary. The veggie quesadilla was "ok" but I didn't care that much since I was hungry: the filling was kind of spotty and the tortillas were a little hard. The steak tortillas were also ok. Service was quick but seemed disinterested, which again wasn't that important if you're just looking for food. If I lived in this area, I don't think I would return regularly but haven't tried anything else in Page either. Close to Antelope Canyon tours.

Enchilada suiza
Noelle Y.

We found this restaurant while visiting Page, AZ. We walked in and were seated right away. They didn't look too busy at that time. The menu is huge and the tables and chairs are very colorful. We were given chips and salsa right away. For entrees, I got the enchilada suiza and my husband got the seafood fajitas. They were both large portions and tasty. The food came out very quickly as well. If you happen to be in Page, I would say this is a good place to try out.

So glad we came here after a very long drive and hiking. The wet burrito and the chimichanga were so good! The portions are very big so definitely great to share!

Molcajete
Karl S.

Mixed Experience at Tapatio - Great Guac, High Prices, and Spotty Service I've visited Tapatio in Page, AZ twice recently with a party of five. Our first visit was generally enjoyable. The fresh guacamole was excellent, and my friends raved about the birria. I ordered the molcajete, but personally didn't care for the flavor profile. Still, the experience was decent overall. The real shock came with the prices. In my opinion, nearly everything on the menu is 25-50% above market value without a noticeable difference in quality. For example, a soft drink costs $4.25 and only includes one refill. One couple in our group--visiting from Europe--suggested we return for a second visit. They don't have a local price reference and aren't as concerned about cost. On our return, the food was similar. Another great $15 bowl of guacamole, and my wife and I split the fajitas for two ($41). A single margarita ran $14. However, service took a major downturn. Our fajitas arrived without tortillas. When I asked, I was told they were on their way. I asked again after a few minutes--same response. Eventually, I turned around and saw seven servers standing around a computer, including ours. My wife finally had to walk to the kitchen herself before the tortillas were brought out. In summary: If you're okay with fairly good food, indifferent service, and inflated prices, this may be the place for you. For me, it was a disappointing return visit and probably our last.

Very pricey! Food quality very average. Service was spotty. Atmosphere was cool. Came here for dinner one night. The restaurant looks pretty cool, whimsical decor. The menu was extensive. Since this is the only restaurant with more affordable prices in town it was crowded. Ordered 2 entrees to share and they were average in terms of quality taste and portion size. I can get the same meal in California for half the price. Service was fast and efficient.

Ginormous portions
Asheritah C.

We were looking for a quick dinner before visiting horseshoe bend for sunset, and hoped we'd get in and out of here in time. To our surprise, we were immediately seated, immediately served with chips, salsa, and the most delicious pico de gallo. Our server was super-friendly ("ola amigos!") and more than willing to accommodate our group's special requests. We ordered steak and chicken fajitas for two, and it didn't disappoint; we split between my husband and me, and had plenty left over. (Came with guacamole.) My daughter ordered the crema chicken enchilada, and the plate came out bigger than her head! Seriously, we couldn't stop laughing about how huge the portion was. She declared it the best Mexican food she's ever had, and we've been traveling the SW for a while now. Our other two children ordered chicken enchilada and chicken quesadillas off the kids menu (chicken was extra). All the servers looked like they were having a good time, and twice they came out to sing happy birthday to other patrons. The decor inside is colorful and vibrant, definitely adding to the ambiance. Everything, from the speedy service to the yummy food to the giant portions was above expectations. So we came back the next day and ordered churros and sopapillas to go (hence the styrofoam containers in photos). They were delicious, as we had hoped for, but honestly they didn't taste that different from each other (except the churros had a vanilla filling that elevated them above the sopapillas). Our kids are already asking when we'll be back, so I'd count that as a win!

Food is good and service is friendly. We came here on a super busy night and the atmosphere was lively and bright. Tried the aquachile tostada and it was good. Prices are on the higher side for the area.

Veggie poblano enchilada w mole sauce instead of green sauce
Stephanie S.

For this area, El Tapatío seemed like one of the best restaurant choices around. We showed up around 7 PM on Friday night and there was a 20 minute wait. But the wait staff were running around like crazy busing tables immediately and turning the tables over very quickly. We were seated within 20 minutes as promised, and the food was ordered and on our table within the next 10 minutes. They really turn the tables quickly during busy time and everyone was busting their butts. GREAT SERVICE! The food was pretty good for what it's worth and the portion sizes were massive. I did leave there smelling like a Mexican kitchen permeating through my clothes, so they could probably use better ventilation in the dining area. Very cute festive atmosphere. Lots of private booths. Huge menu with every kind of Mexican dish you could want. Great choice if visiting Antelope canyon.

If you have a sweet tooth, the margaritas are incredible. My favorite was the **cucumber and mango margarita** from the margarita flight--it was refreshing and perfectly balanced. The **aguachiles** were outstanding. I'm very picky about aguachiles because I take pride in making authentic ones myself, and I rarely order them at restaurants. These absolutely exceeded my expectations and were packed with fresh, vibrant flavor. For my entrée, I had the **Fiesta Combination Plate** with a shredded beef chimichanga and chicken flautas. Everything was delicious. The rice was flavorful, though the beans weren't my favorite--but honestly, that's a minor detail compared to how great the rest of the meal was. The service was top-tier from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. Overall, this is a fantastic place for authentic Mexican cuisine in Arizona. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back!

Some of the wings still showed pink. I asked him if fall off the bone. He said no. He's not a picky eater. I would have been uneasy. I had the japchae. It was a very generous serving. Little bits of beef. Too many green bell peppers. Just right amount of carrots and yam noodles. Served atop rice. A meal in itself. I'd been wanting to try a Korean corn dog but didn't want to pay Bay Area prices. So I ordered one here. It came laced with ketchup & mustard. I was already content with my japchae bap so I only ate half. But I'll give it a try when I get back home for comparison. The business is run by a Korean couple. The wife came out of the kitchen to ask us if we enjoyed the food. Of course we did. They are transplants from Los Angeles. Who knew there'd be an authentic Korean restaurant here. Located in a strip mall with Safeway as the anchor. P.S. we bought a egg & tuna gimbap rolls for later. We had it the next day. Still very good.
