Food was soooo good haven't had fresh tacos from them in awhile was happy to see pops back n everything tasted great! 4 beef tacos and steak burrito read more

Tacos are delicious, prices went up but that's everywhere. When I'm the area I make it my business to stop for a bite .

I absolutely LOVE the food here. They have the best tacos I've ever eaten hands down. I wish I could go there alot more often than I do. Great food! read more

Love the Tacos. Always very good. Most people get their food to go. They have table's to sit and eat. Very small dining area. You do have people waiting for their takeout. So if I was dining in, you feel like you are in a fishbowl. They have a small grocery in front. Last time I was in, You still need cash. They don't take cards.The service is always good. You walk in and order at the register and he yells out your order to the kitchen. It's a family owned business. They usually have someone from the family working. Whatever you decide to order. Always grab a plate of their tacos. read more

STAY FAR AWAY! They need to be shut down. The old lady in front has a nasty rude attitude. Which makes sense as to why there were no other customers. I asked how the chicken tacos were made (ie: grilled chicken, shredded chicken in tomato) and she just kept saying "chicken." Maybe she lost her memory and needs to be fired and/or retrained. Who knows but I'll personally never give them a penny. Disgusting when you try to support local and they're so unprofessional. Id leave negative stars if I could. read more

The food is AMAZING ! My favorite Mexican food in the Racine/ Kenosha area ! Make sure to check your to go boxes before leaving because there is no refunds if you leave with the wrong order. It's very little seating but it's very cute inside ! read more

Great food and great service! The ground beef tacos are very delicious. Will go back again.

Best food, fast service! I recommend the guac and the beans and rice burrito. I'm fully obsessed

Flavorful and delicious. Best taco spot in town. Highly recommend the tamales as well. The hard tacos are the best ever.

The people are so nice and welcoming! The tacos are like no taco you ever had ! Grew up eating these and it's worth the whole drive to the next city over just to get some ! Never disappoints !!! read more

Hands down the BEST chicken tacos we've had. Mexican style w/ cheese, cilantro, onion and avocado on flour or soft corn shells- yummmmm! Poncho/Juan is amazing! Gets it right. Every. Time! read more

La Tapatia - Chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

After living in Arizona for six years, who would have thought some of the best Mexican food I've ever had would be in Wisconsin. I was stuck on the al pastor tacos for the longest time because, no question about it, they make the best al pastor I have ever stuffed in my fat face. Finally though, I have branched out and tried the steak, chicken, and pork tacos too. My new favorite has to be the al pastor burrito. They cut it in half and just one burrito is enough to feed two people. (Note to yourself: If you disagree with that statement then you need to take a look at yourself in the mirror and chances are, you need to make some changes.) Ask for it with avocado and sour cream for extra unnecessary flavor. The prices are low, the neighborhood stinks, and the convenience store is convenient. For the life of me, I do not understand Annie G.'s experience here, because every time I have come to La Tapatia I had delicious food and my "tummy" has felt just fine...besides feeling stretched by the massive amounts of food. read more

La Tapatia - Al pastor burrito. Huge and insanely good. Get it with avocado and sour cream. - Mexican Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

See all

If I were you, I wouldn't go at night unless you know your way around ;-) It's also small and there's very limited seating. That said, I heart these tacos! Once, I thought I found something similar when I had Jack in the box tacos. People laughed at me and, when I tasted La Tapatia again, I laughed at me, too! I don't know if this is authentic Mexican food because I've been to California and Texas looking for a similar taco and I haven't found one yet. I do know there are authentic Mexicans in the kitchen making these tacos though and that's good enough for me. Of course, they have other stuff. If you try other things on the menu though, at least get an order of tacos, too! A plate of tacos used to cost $2! Now, I think it's like $3 but still a good value. GET SOME. You will go back. read more

I've have been a customer of LaTap since I was a little girl. The tacos are hands down, their best seller! Historically we have been getting La Tap every or every other week. Unfortunately, over the last year, they have become inconsistent with the quality of their tacos. I have been noticing when I go in to place my order, rather than call ahead, the person cooking makes all the difference in my food. Most recently (maybe two months or so ago, they increased their prices (which I do understand as everyone has to make a living) but started getting skimpy on the meat. I am hoping that things improve so I can continue to be a customer for the next 30 years, as I love to support small business. If you haven't been, I say try it for yourself and hopefully you get in there are on a good day. Disregard the neighborhood, visit before dark and place your order to go. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past but i promise they have some of the best authentic Mexican food. I have been going here for years & I love the variety of food they offer. Your food is prepared fresh as you order. Staff is super friendly & helpful. Highly recommend!!! read more

La Tapatia - Fried Chicken Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

This is the original home of Racine's contribution to Mexican cuisine: the taco frito. (Or "taco" as that say @ La Tap.) 30 yrs ago, when I was underage, this was one of our main stops for procurement of illegal imbibables. A few decades later, I'm POSITIVE that they've cleaned up their carding practices, and are now simply, a family-run corner mercado with a grill in the back that's pumping out piles of deep fried tacos that'll have grease running down yer chin faster than EVERY OTHER MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN RACINE CAN RIP OFF YOUR IDEA!!!! Let it be known, with no mistake: La Tapatia was first!! I very rarely go here anymore, as I am a northsider, and the sister restaurant (Mi Jacalito) is right up the street from me. Cheers to a racine institution! F'real!!!! read more

Iam a long time customer....I was told to try the nachos, I have always had the taco plate... I tried the steak burrito one and was full of grease so with that said I will try the nachos read more

Not the same as it used to be. Food is so nasty greasy and oil tasting. Falling apart mess. I used to LOVE the food here I would come often. It seems like different staff cooks ect now. Whatever it is I won't be going anymore after my 4th poor experience in a row. Food was just terrible and was thrown out.... hopefully they can figure it out soon. It's never good when a business goes downhill read more

The woman that works there that takes orders has a HORRIBLE attitude, everyone else there was great. I won't be returning there because of her, my first experience there was ruined and will not be returning nor will I be recommending this place to anyone I know. read more

The food is pretty good but the store is dirty and the customer service offered by the heavy set young lady taking your order is terrible. Be sure to check your bag before you leave. You can pay for things and realize once you get home that they never made it to your bag. If you call them on the missing items you may find yourself getting screamed at by the unprofessional young woman taking orders. Clean up the store and replace Patty Potty mouth and you guys could be great!!! read more

Extremely rude lady works there and ruined my first experience, completely got my order wrong as well, will not be returning. The place is a dirty house in the ghetto and is uncomfortable just to be inside it. read more

Trash ass food & trash ass people. They also exploit their employees with long work hours and horrible wages. Eating there you constantly hear the employees yelling at each other and fighting. The younger people working there always seem miserable along with having a horrible attitudes along with never seeming to be able to get an order correct. Please save yourself money and time by going to eat at arandas instead of this cockroach infested place. read more

Food quality is inconsistent. Sometimes it's amazing, other times it isn't so good. They have messed up my order more than once. One of the girls who answers the phone never says hello or good bye, which isn't polite, and it's generally chaotic in the store. read more

Absolutely amazing! I love coming here when I'm in the area! I've had tacos and tostadas here and they are delicious! The chips and guacamole/salsa is great as well. Be ready to eat a lot! I like eating in the store so it is fresh, but there isn't much seating. I've had it to go before as well and it was great! Give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

Second time went back always get places a second try this time the food was ice cold now very tasty if you're looking for very cheap Mexican food not a lot of flavor and greasy this is your place read more

Absolutely incredible. Incredibly shady location, but the food is to die for so it doesn't really matter. I went with three others and we all shared, so here's the run-down: - I had ground beef tacos in their regular (hard) shell with a side of avocado. The beef was well-seasoned and delicious and the shells were the perfect cross between hard and chewy. One of my dining companions opted for soft shell which was still good, but go for the hard ones. Avocado was a nice addition too. - My boyfriend had the carnitas burrito. He said "I don't even like pork and this is incredible". The meat was tender and the shell was pressed onto the grill so it was nice and crispy. - My friend had tacos al pastor. This is what I will order next time. It was perfection rolled into a shell. Advice: put the salsa on everything. It is amazing. You can buy small tubs of it and their guacamole in the convenience store it is attached to (which we did). Enjoy! read more

Without a doubt, the best tacos I've ever had! And I've been to Mexico and every state in southwestern U.S. so that is saying something. To echo the other reviewers, the neighborhood isn't the greatest. I often send my boyfriend in to grab the food while I wait with the car running and doors locked. I have gone inside before, and it's not TOO bad, but I prefer to pick these up and take the short drive down to DeKoven and eat them while enjoying the lake scenery. The tacos themselves: Homemade shells that aren't exactly hard or soft (hard to describe). Seasoned ground beef. Yummy shredded lettuce and cheese. A side of zesty homemade salsa to drizzle on top. Take a bite and close your eyes. Grease/salsa drips down your hand... wrist... forearm... and you don't mind one bit. I haven't tried much else here because the tacos are perfection! I did taste the tamales and didn't care much for them, but others may enjoy. Overall, a very inexpensive (about $3 a plate) and satisfying meal. read more

I have been a loyal customer here for over ten years. I always get the plate of tacos (or two) with sour cream. The are what dreams are made of. Aside from that, the owner Larry is an absolutely amazing man, and always remembers me and greets me with a handshake, even if I haven't been home for a long time. He's always made me feel welcome in his shop and is always one of the first people I go to see when I get into town. read more

Best tacos I've ever had! Great price-CASH ONLY! Yep it's "divey" but think back to the best/craziest/most memorable food/service/times you have had...I am willing to put money on it that "it" wasn't a chain!! read more

Very good food love this place will recommend to anyone who loves Mexican food price are good and this place is has awesome food read more

La Tapatia - Had this for lunch today - Mexican Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

The food here is just ok. The store itself is very small and not the cleanest. I really will only eat here if whoever I'm eating with really wants it. read more

The customer service here is horrible. The girl at the register does not know what she is doing at all. Super rude and has a problem with African Americans. Every Mexican person that came in she was nice and polite. But when it can to a African American her attitude changed. To top it off, they messed up my order and tried to over charge me for a $17.57 order. I bought a Arizona tea for $1 and a glass bottle Sprite for $2 and some change. Order should of came out to about $21-$22 but got charged $28. When told them about it the same person and the owners wanna argue for about 5 to 10 minutes once they realize the girl missed they fixed the problem but employee still had a attitude. I've been going to this place for over 20 years. I will never go again nor Recommend anyone eating at this place read more

Very good neighborhood tacos. I never had anything but tacos so this review is for them. There seems to be a pretty high Latino population in this part of Wisconsin, which I was not away of when we moved here. Nice surprise though, because they have a lot of good little Mexican restaurants. For tacos, this one beats them all. One tip though, I'd steer clear of their Mexican BBQ tacos; the only tacos I didn't enjoy. read more

Great food in a run down convenience store. The steak chimichanga was excellent. Seems like a rough part of town, but everyone was super nice. read more

La Tapatia - Steak chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

La Tapatia Tacos are scrumptious. I am a low/no carb eater and now I get the burritos and just don't eat the tortilla. STILL DELICIOUS. The attached grocery store is always fun too - I sometimes buy an avocado instead of getting guacamole. My husband likes the chips Limon flavored- and sometimes we go home with lots of soda or cookies. We never eat in, we usually call in an order and take everything home. It is a shady part of town, but La Tapatia is like Switzerland where all of Racine can just get along. Or maybe that is just what it feels like to me. NOTE: They are a cash only business. read more

I love the food here. Love it! Its fresh, hot, authentic, delicious! Sure the inside is kinda run down and I wouldnt eat there, and the neighborhood is one where I wouldnt go to after dark due to super sketchy people coming in and out...but the food that comes out of that itty bitty kitchen is outstanding! It's like their doing some fabulous magic taco makin' back there ...and it's pretty dang fast. The cashiers are always so friendly too. This place is always busy when I've gone which is a great sign that it's going to be delicious! Prices are extra reasonable!! I probably wouldnt want to take a peek in that kitchen, looks a little questionable but I dont care. The food speaks for itself. Chicken tacos? Yes please! read more

I love this place. The hours are great and the people are friendly . The prices are decent. They only take cash which is fine.

Amazing...this Mexican food snob has very few other adjectives. We live 30 minutes away and asked them to package our food without the meat on it. They did and we are SO thankful for that. The entire family raved over every item we had. Thank you so much! read more

OMG I tried the Carne Asada Combo plate it ended up feeding myself and two other people. I suggest ordering in person unless you speak Spanish some of there employees are still learning English, but trust me its worth it. read more

Not the best neighborhood, unfortunately. However, if you get their early you can find some of the BEST chicken tacos! Always decent portions, and their beans and rice are perfect! read more
