    Menudo and Mexican Bottled Coke
    Gerald P.

    Always fresh always flavorful! Menudo or Pozole you can't go wrong! Service is always friendly and reliable! The owners and his family are amazing! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating inside and the restaurant is always clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Stop by and see for yourself!

    Shrimp cocktail, pastor tacos and chips.

    Such a solid menudo. Placed an order ahead & it was ready 15 minutes later. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Standard dining room with plenty of tables even on the busiest days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bread given with the menudo is so fluffy and good! Parking lot is a little tight, but you'll find a spot. I'll continue to drop by for some delicious food!

    Chile Relleno with rice and beans
    Jess B.

    Decided to stop by this spot because my husband and I were craving Mexican food on our way back from Vegas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and pretty spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were a lot of tables and chairs and there was a small waiting area if you needed to wait for your takeout order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You go up to the cashier to make your order and then take your seat after you've paid. I ordered the chile relleno with rice and beans. The peppers were firm and contrasted well with the soft and melted cheese. I didn't really taste or notice the batter as much, which I wanted more of. The rice and beans were pretty standard. Service was quick. The people taking our order were really nice. And the prices were very reasonable.

    Chimichanga (asada)
    Steph Q.

    My hubby and I finally made our first trip over to La Tapatia Mexican Grill after hearing so many positive things from friends in Fontana. We came in on a weekday afternoon around 3pm and they were bustling with customers dining in and taking out. We were warmly greeted when it was our turn to order. The guy taking our orders was very friendly and patient as we asked various questions about the menu. Service overall was pleasant and efficient. La Tapatia Mexican Grill is located in a shopping center off of Baseline. There is plenty of free parking in a lot shared by all of the businesses in the shopping center. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The establishment is a nice size and very clean. They have plenty of indoor seating for anyone who would like to dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was also very good and lived up to all of the high praise we've been hearing from others. Our order consisted of - tacos (al pastor and asada) - a shrimp quesadilla - an asada chimichanga Everything we tried tasted great. The food was fresh, the proteins were plentiful and tender, and the portions were generous. They definitely made a strong first impression. We will definitely be returning to La Tapatia Mexican Grill in the future. So many other things to try off of their menu. We can't wait!

    Chile Verde Enchiladas

    First time trying today... 10/10 food and service! Highly recommend! The chile verde enchiladas and beef tacos were delicious!

    Great food, even better management!
    Jasmine C.

    Once in a while we make the drive out to come specifically to this location, as they offer a better selection of food. While the menu is the same at the other location-- this one just tastes better. Well besides the amazing fresh ingredients, tasty salsas, and yummy agua frescas. My order stays consistent throughout the times I visit, shrimp scampi burrito wet. That burrito is large and I never finish it but it's delicious every single time. We also order a side of chips and salsa, and one large drink. Horchata is our go to when we come here but they have other drinks as well. On this particular day I had to privilege to witness an act of kindness and much respect to the man who I assume is the manager. He went out of his way to give a homeless woman that came in trying to eat off of dirty plates left behind by a family who just walked out. She came in with an open container and started to pick at it. She asked "can I eat this?" but the manager said: "unfortunately no, because I don't want you to get sick." He went onto say: "Also, I need you to step out, I cannot have you in here with this open container." As she walked out he proceeded to let her know he would pack her up a fresh item of her choosing. She selected something and then went back outside. At the time I wasn't entirely sure if he was going to do it or just wanted her to leave. She then went to the window just outside of my table and started tapping on it asking for my food, if I was going to eat it. Although I was full, it would be wrong to give her my leftovers. I was just about to give her money when she suddenly left to the smoke shop next door. I believe she saw the manager coming and took off. Well when I turned to see him, he had in fact made her something to eat. Hot & fresh meal made just for her and that my friends is what you call a good deed! This made me tear up a little because it's not everyday you see a restaurant care the way he did! So this made my experience even better by seeing humanity working at a top level. Don't know his name but I thank you for the kindness you displayed to that woman. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall restaurant is clean, staff is friendly, prices are decent, food is great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wait time is also really good

    11/18/2024 @12:00 pm Dissatisfied with the chili rellenos combo $15.79 with rice , beans and a choice of tortillas. Barely any cheese and the the chili were not fully cooked , flavor were off. I just picked through the chili and left the other half untouched. Two crispy shredded beef tacos $14.29 with rice and beans were good . Today the house beans soup were so salty. My advice, skip the chili rellenos from here .

    I love their Burrito in salsa verde!
    Pete F.

    The food is always fresh. Their daily specials are worth a try. Fish Tacos and Burritos in salsa verde are great!

    Crazy Fries with carne asada, always good!
    Cynthia R.

    La Tapatia Mexican Grill is hands down one of the best Mexican spots in the area. From the food to the service, they're consistently solid--and that kind of reliability is rare. I usually call in my order because they do get pretty busy, but the staff is always polite and professional over the phone. They repeat my order back, make sure it's right, and have no problem with little custom requests. That kind of care goes a long way. The food? Delicious. The salsa bar is a great touch, and I'm personally hooked on the green avocado salsa--creamy, fresh, and full of flavor. On the weekends, their pozole is a must-have. It tastes just like something you'd find in a home kitchen, not a restaurant. The albondigas soup is another favorite--super comforting and perfect on a cold day. And the green enchiladas plate? Packed with flavor and totally satisfying every time. Another go to is the Crazy Fries, they hit all the time when I need my carne asada fries fix. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Grateful to have La Tapatia nearby whenever I'm craving authentic, homemade-style Mexican food, and a beautiful interior that feels lovely to dine in at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a local gem.

    Horchata y agua de Piña & wet green breakfast burritos!!!

I was there enjoying them with a beer and good conversation. We were taking our time eating and enjoying our drinks; the aguachiles were not the only thing on our table. While we were still eating, someone from the kitchen came out and asked if he could take our plate. We politely said no thank you because we were still working on it. A few minutes later he came back and insisted on taking the plate, saying something along the lines of, "A clean table makes a consumer buy more," but the way it was said came across as rude and made us feel rushed. If the plate had been mostly empty, with just a couple of pieces left, I would have completely understood. But that wasn't the case -- I had only eaten about 2-3 shrimp out of a dozen. I shared how I felt, explaining that I understood clearing finished plates, but we were clearly not done. His response was dismissive and he walked away. The food had potential, and the aguachiles had good flavor, but the service experience left me disappointed. Sometimes giving guests a little time to enjoy their meal, conversation, and drinks makes a bigger difference than having a perfectly cleared table.

No potatoes, no bacon, nothing that made it feel like a premium burrito. The taste was ok, flavorful, the chorizo and eggs were cooked well however it was very greasy.

I left feeling like I paid way more than what I received, so I won't be coming back.
