El Tapatio - Mexican Near Me - Parachute, Colorado

Excellent seafood fajitas! I wasn't expecting it to be so flavorful but the seasoning was perfect! I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Food was good, had asada tacos with beans and rice. Placed was packed on a Friday night.

Great service and would recommend if in this area to try this place out. Especially since there really are not many other options in the area. Large alcohol and food selection. Staff was friendly and attentive. The salsa and chips they give are really good. My only gripe is the "steak" that was used for my tacos was not the best quality. read more

We come through this area often and this is the first time we stopped here. It looks like a hole in the wall BUT the food was super fresh and very tasty! Margaritas on special was a bonus. Options for kids that's not all Mexican food. Overall we were impressed and will for sure be coming back the next time we come through. read more

El Tapatio - Steak Fajitas! - Mexican Near Me - Parachute, Colorado

Overall the restaurant was delicious! The portions were HUGE and lots of variety. The reason for only 3 stars is the VERY poor service. We waited a long time for drinks, and then they kept forgetting to bring my husband's. The servers were no where to be found when we needed, extra plates, napkins for a spill (by my son)... lots of waiting. We'll try it again when passing through town... read more

They don't have real green chili with hatch green chili's and pieces of pork. Not a fan of this restaurant, even though there's only 2 restaurants here in Parachute. read more

Driving from San Diego to New Jersey, stopped for gas and stayed for Mexican... This place has crazzyyy good food. Even the chips and salsa were on point. Awesome waiter suggested the Tapatio especial; it's their specialty for a reason. It came with fresh veggies, yellow rice, tasty guac, flank steak, chicken, shrimp, mushrooms and more. You could honestly spilt this dish between two people with their tortillas and you'll be in good shape for another couple hours of driving. If you are a not afraid to eat like a beast, Order one for yourself. And if you live near here and haven't tried the place, shame on you read more

We were just driving by and found this restaurant. The burrito de la Casa is the best! We'll definitely come again on our way back home. Staff is very friendly. read more

Really surprised to find some really good Mexican food in a little mini mall. It was right across of the hotel and there were some mixed reviews on Yelp but the place was great! Especially the Mole and Suzas. Couldn't have better if your looking for a good place to sit down and eat. read more

See all

Great little Mexican restaurant, had their tacos and they were amazing. Complimentary nachos and salsa were a huge plus too!

Just driving through and were pleasantly surprised. Food was great and the service perfect

Definitely a little pricey but always good and friendly service. Clean and a very cool menu lots to eat and I usually order something new every time.. read more

The service here is very friendly and very accomadating those with disablities and service dogs. However there food was a bit over priced food for the portion sizes and the food tasted hot but like it came out of a can or frozen wraper. It didn't taste like real mexican food, a real disappoint. I give them three stars because of there good service and there really above and beyond service towards people with disablities. read more

Tasty and big portions. My cantarito was delicious and the citrus was fresh. Special requests honored. The bar area is very cute. Also I've never had cabbage served to me at a Mexican restaurant like that and was pleasantly surprised. read more

We've eaten here often in our 7 years in Parachute. It's one of the places that has been open through the ups and downs of our little town. The proprietors know us and pretty much know what we order. Service is good, food is hot, not Houston Tex-Mex quality, but good for Colorado. It may be a little over-priced if you are from a big city and were expecting to stand in line to have a kid slop your beans and rice in your white foam box as it goes by. BUT, you are in small-town Colorado. Sit down, slow down, and enjoy the experience. If you like Chili Verde or Chicken Suiza, these are among the dishes we usually order and are quite happy with the quality. Someone complained about the small bowl of salsa offered. I have never had mine run out without being asked multiple times if I wanted more. Love their mexican slaw, too. read more

Go. There. Now. I get sooo excited when I am fortunate enough to be in Parachute, CO because that means I will get to eat at El Tap! I could, legit, eat there every day. The service is expeditious and attentive. But more importantly, those Carne Asada tacos are simply to-die-for. I am a big fan of street tacos - and these definitely get major cred! Excellent salsa too! I like salsa with a little kick that isn't too fussy, like those fire-roasted flavors (insert puke-y emoji). Go, go there now. read more

Delicious period. The environment is welcoming and the staff are awesome, especially Alberto. The Guacamole and Molcajete are very authentic. Muy rico todo! read more

The service was outstanding and the food is super abundant on your plate. They serve incredible dishes. I will definitely come back when I drive through again. read more

For a small town the food is excellent. True Mexican dishes. Their choice of beef steak is a little short (tough) but everything else is great and the personal is fantastic and fun. We go there regularly and highly recommend them. read more

Great food nice people here. Family restuarant worth a visit. The food is authentic and really tasty

Stopped by for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The building itself looked as if it was outdated and a little sketchy. The staff were super friendly and fun. I ordered tacos al pastor. Seriously one of the best and authentic taco I've ate. read more

First the good: Salsa was pretty good, but very watery. Cabbage (slaw?) was pretty good as well. Bad: Over priced, in my opinion. I'm from Texas and know Mexican food, this "food" didn't come close to the good stuff. I ordered the Veggie Chimichanga and was upset to find out that the $10 fried burrito I ordered was full of the frozen mixed veggies you and buy at Walmart. read more

This is the best restaurant to eat at in Parachute! The guacamole dip was amazing and highly recommend getting it. Every dish that we have ordered here has been top notch perfect! We make sure to eat here every time we are in town! read more

Within walking distance of the Comfort Inn. Good food and fast friendly service. Nothing really to write home about. Menu was huge to the extent it was overwhelming so my husband went with his go-to chicken enchiladas which were were good and tasty. Portion sizes were big and my husband and I split the meal which was plenty! Chips, salsa, and coleslaw were tasty! read more

My daughter and I stopped in here about 9pm one Friday night due to the highway being closed. The staff was friendly and accommodating to us even though I think they were getting ready to close. The food was good, I had an avocado tostada, and the ingredients were fresh and tasty read more

Salsa was good stuff. Chimis were good. Best Mexican food we've found on Western Slope via I-70 so far.

The food here is authentic, really delicious Mexican food. We were surprised, and pleasantly so! Very friendly staff, awesome margaritas, and family atmosphere. Definitely recommend! read more

My quesadilla was to greasy i asked for guacamole and sour cream on the side they put it on top and my quesadilla got soggy and to greasy . The horchata drink wasnt good either 16.99 for a burrito wow read more

Very good selection of foods! I couldn't decide...very friendly staff. Only complaint was that we sat in the very corner and was maybe forgetten towards the end of the night. We ended up getting up and paying for our bill, it was getting too long to wait for it. read more

Great food, and the service is quick and friendly. I suggest getting the Fajita Burrito.

Chimichangas Verde ... Perfect! Great flavor, not too spicy, tender and flavorful pork. Light crispy shell.

This place is simply amazing. I've never spent 20+ for one meal and felt like it was 100% worth it. I'm not even a huge Hispanic food fan. EASILY the best place to eat in parachute. The service was excellent everyone was extremely nice. Only complaint was the seating was a little cramp but honestly it was still HIGHLY worth it. read more

The food was decent enough. The restaurant is clean and the service was good.

Great food and great service, what's not to like? I had the chicken fajitas, my wife got chicken burrito and my daughter had the chicken nuggets. All were delicious! Very good margaritas and the sopapillas were very good too. Would definitely come back as we are driving through towards Grand Junction. read more

Good food, nice place and the service was spot on excellent. Right off the interstate great for traveling by.

Good, standard Mexican food. We live in a small town with no dining options, this is the closest restaurant to home. We eat here regularly and are always happy. Friendly staff, typical tacky "Mexican" decor, and large portions (we get a good meal for dinner and enough leftover for lunch the next day). Good taco salads, chimichangas and burritos. Only thing I've ever had that I didn't enjoy were the fajitas (over cooked, under seasoned. read more

Only ate there once, But I was very satisfied. It was great food and great service. The Fajita Burrito was an amazing delight, I finished that off with the best fried ice cream I've ever had. read more
