    Outside the restaurant

    The only reason this wasn't a 5-star is because we went specifically for the Birria tacos, but they were out of the birria sauce, so that was a huge disappointment. The service is amazing. We were greeted the moment we arrived and taken care of the entire time we were there. The food is amazingly fresh and flavored very well. Everything we ordered we loved. The guacamole was made fresh and was enough for 2 people to share. My frozen margarita didn't come from a machine. It was blended and made fresh in-house. This is a restaurant we will definitely try again, hopefully to try the Birria tacos.

    I took a friend for lunch and she wanted to go here. When we got there we were greeted and chips, salsa and cheese sauce was delivered to our table. Chips were fresh, crisp and thin. Salsa had a great Smokey flavor. The cheese sauce did not have much flavor to me. My friend got the chicken enchiladas and I got the mojeto. Mine was $17.99 and I don't think there was much meat for the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great and the store was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My friend complained about the loud music the whole time but we did not move to a different table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This was a great visit. I've heard much about this place, but I usually go down the street to places I have experience with. This is now on my approved list. Service was great, food was flavorful, and the space was very clean Got a few meats on tacos, tried the beef and Lamb birria, and the tacos de papas. I think the carnitas and barbacoa are only offered on weekends, but I'm not certain; I do recall that a couple of meats were only available weekends Tacos I had were pastor, carnitas, and barbacoa. Their pastor was unique with a few chopped pieces of pineapple mixed in with the meat. Usually there is a chunk of pineapple at other places, but I liked their use here. Carnitas are chopped and have great crunchy frilly texture from how they cooked it, and good flavor. Barbacoa was super tender and I just love the gamey flavor of this meat The beef and lamb birria were both done really well. I didn't sense one as better than the other, but I would certainly encourage giving the lamb a try The churro is an experience. Very snappy on the exterior, pillowy and suave interior, and just heavenly. They serve it as a dish with ice cream or you can order them individually On the way out; the table behind us had this showstopper of a dish I don't recall seeing it on the menu, but it appeared to have avocado, shrimp, lump crab, and herbs all mixed, balanced, and stacked beautifully. I argued with myself not to point and talk about another table, but I did. With my eyes gazing and finger pointed at the dish, but speaking softly, "what is that dish?". With an excited and detailed reply she answered but I paraphrasingly summarize as "seafood tower". That's definitely an order I'll place during my next visit

    We went for the birria tacos and unfortunately they didn't have the birria sauce that day. We stuck around anyway because the reviews were excellent, so we had to try the food. First off, it looks like they had a recent remodel, which was a nice touch. Our server was warm and friendly the whole time. Although we couldn't order authentic lamb birria tacos, the server offered my wife an alternate meal; lamb tacos with queso. But before that, we got complimentary chips, roasted pepper salsa (that was amazing) and queso. The queso was a bit watery, but the flavor was still good. I wanted the Pizzabirria, but because they were out, I opted for a platter of asada street tacos and barbacoa street tacos w/ a side of fresh guacamole. Everything was cooked to order and super fresh. The wife even ordered a strawberry margarita that she enjoyed. We'll definitely be back to try the birria, but we'll call ahead to make sure that sauce is brewing baby. This is one of our new favorite Mexican food spots!

    Pollo left, al pastor (best) & carnitas (overcooked) tacos.

    Here's an unexpected little gem serving both Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican food. I had a few of their street tacos. They don't use much oil in their taco style, which can be a good thing, it sure feels healthier. But I prefer a little more oil for texture and flavor. Their al pastor is excellent, even some of the best around, with lots of flavor, and it's done here the very best way full of soft pineapple chunks! Chicken was tender chunks, not pulled, ​tasty, especially with one of their excellent house salsas. Carnitas are a lil too crispy and chopped extra fine, not the tender chunks I prefer. It was my least favorite but still not bad. Regular price tacos are $1.99, but they post $1 days on Facebook (and I think also on Saturdays). Oops, we did forget to ask for grilled onions this time, so I'm not sure if they will add them or not. Service was great, very attentive. Space is updated and well lit, with comfortable tables and chairs. Definitely family friendly, and also kept very clean. Kudos to how fast they bus tables here and wipe surfaces down with bleach. The only negative I'd bring up is the tortilla chips weren't fresh, and queso lacked flavor. And the taco tortillas are merely passable. But hubby says the lime shoved into the top of his Tecate without even asking was a nice touch. We came away feeling satisfied and all smiles. We will definitely be back.

    Heard about the place from some coworkers.... The staff took our order and did fantastic. Our server was awesome and helped my on my Spanish lingo... Made a short drive to the area & we were craving Mexican. It wasn't too busy -the food was cooked lightning fast and it was piping hot. Our order was accurate and I definitely will return when in the situation of hunger for Mexican in this area. I really felt valued with my interaction with the staff. The chips were hot and fresh! Also - (Staff) members interacted with my daughters they were pleasant and smiling....that goes a long way! Thank you again for being awesome. Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma

    I had seen some really great reviews for here and wanted to try it. I am happy to report, it was very good! Ran in to grab it to go. They weren't very busy. I knew what I wanted, so I didn't really study the menu. Ordered immediately and had my order within 5-7 minutes. They had everything packed perfectly. A few salsas to try and both corn and flour tortillas, per my request. They were still warm after driving home to eat. The fajitas were very tasty. The green salsa was fresh and great! I didn't try the red salsa but my husband took one bite and he had fire coming out of his mouth! Ha! So if you want HOT, get the red! The tables and other areas were clean. The staff was friendly. It's in a strip shopping area, so plenty of parking. We will be back!

    Tapatia Baked Potato, so scrumptious!!

    Okay people this resturant is freakin amazing. I eat there at least 2 times a week. Today not only did I order my regular Chilaquiles...I decided to try the Tapatia Baked Potato!!! Let me say it was awesome!! It's not only the food that is amazing, it's the owner Mario and all the staff. They are the nicest most accommodating, kind people I have ever come across in a resturant. They treat my like a real person and that matters to me. I will come to this resturant every week because I love the food and the staff!

    LA TAPATIA- First timer here- it didn't disappoint! I have to say, I was craving some street tacos and this was really good! The tortillas were so soft and fluffy and the meat was juicy, flavorful and tender. Food was amazing and so was the service! They are very attentive and friendly. Asada Al Pastor Birria Tacos Best horchata agua fresca ever.

The food is always…read moredelicious, the atmosphere is great, and I've never really had a reason to complain before. Carlos is especially amazing--he's always friendly, attentive, and provides excellent customer service. Experiences like the ones I've had with him are a big reason I keep coming back. Unfortunately, tonight was a completely different experience. My friend only ordered a drink while I ordered food. When the bill came, we noticed he had been charged $11 for chips and salsa, which was shocking. We've eaten here many times, and chips and salsa have always been complimentary with a meal, so this caught us completely off guard. When we asked about the charge, our server explained that because my friend didn't order food, she had to charge him for the chips and salsa. While I understand that restaurants have policies, I tried to find a simple solution by asking if she could just add his drink to my ticket since I had ordered a meal anyway. She told me she still couldn't do that and said we would have to pay the charge regardless. What made the situation even more confusing was that she acknowledged chips and salsa come with a meal, yet there seemed to be no flexibility to resolve such a small issue. It wasn't even about the money--it was the lack of consistency and customer service. As regular customers who come here often, it was disappointing to be treated this way over something that could have been handled much more reasonably. A little understanding or willingness to work with us would have gone a long way. I'll continue to say that the food is excellent, and Carlos continues to be one of the best employees here. However, this experience left a bad impression, and I hope management reviews how situations like this are handled so loyal customers don't leave feeling frustrated.

Service was quick on a Tuesday night! I like that this is one of the only places that really stays open a bit later on the weekdays. The complimentary chips with salsa and queso were... interesting. The chips themselves were good but the salsa and queso weren't the best. I ordered the enchiladas verdes as my main and this was pretty good! I always love having a huge side of refried beans. I ordered the strawberry Agua Fresca and was not expecting it to be the milky/creamy type of Agua Fresca. I was actually really disappointed that it tasted just like having strawberry Nesquik milk. I guess that's my fault for not asking more questions about it though! Overall, the people are nice and service was quick! The decor on the walls is really great also. And tequila shots are only like $6 so it's not badly priced!

Ambiance: Very loud live music and chaotic in general. More chaotic than a standard Mexican restaurant. One visit, tacos were being cooked outside on a Santa Maria style grill. Food: Birria Tacos are the best thing on the menu. Cheesy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Topped with cilantro and wonderful consommé. The white sauce is a great addition as well as the green sauce. The Pin Wheels are not the best for the salsa. The salsa is mediocre and also spicy. The Surf and Turf Quesadillas are cheesy and packed with meat. The same meal as a burrito is good, but not preferred over the quesadillas. The Ceviche is out of this world. A heaping portion of perfectly citrus and not too fishy. The only meal that was not good was the Marlin Quesadilla. It was too fishy and tasted like fishy BBQ.

They have the robot that brings out food for you like at certain hot pot restaurants. The robot was not precise and it would stop at random table instead of the exact table where it should be. Could be because the restaurant is small for this robot or the set up was not good. Service was excellent. Server came to check on me four times. Plantains were great. The el mar which is a seafood combination dish and included lobster tail, shrimps, and a piece of salmon. The dish was really cheap, only $23.99. The shrimps and salmon were good. The lobster tail was not the most fresh. The meat at body end was soft/soggy. The mixed vegetables were frozen vegetables. Please never ever use frozen mixed vegetables. I would rather pay a little more for fresh vegetables. I didn't quite understand the use of salsa as there were no chips for it. There were tortillas but salsa and tortillas don't go together, am I right? Who knows? I didn't touch neither. This restaurant also has burgers, steaks, and pasta which I haven't tried. I feel like wether you give this a 4 or 5 stars all come down to what you order. An incorrect order will automatically knock it down to 4 stars. It is such a cool restaurant though. I wish Tulsa has something similar.
