My drink was strong and everyone loved the free chips and salsa...except the aunts who didn't like cilantro, but WHO DOESNT LIKE CILANTRO?!?! :-) I loved hearing the loved band, Bang Bang! It's a great place for family and groups. We enjoyed all of our entrees. I made reservations for 10 people and they had the table ready in the best spot to see the band. Customer service is a dying art in some places but not here. We all felt well taken care of. Those three things will keep me coming back and bringing a group along with me.

Horrible experience. We came in at 7 sat down at 8 that's understandable after a busy Friday…read moreafternoon. But for them to bring our drinks till almost 40 minutes after ordering them is crazy. Our waitress was too overwhelmed and never came check for refills. Our kids burger came out raw two times and took 20 minutes to bring it back out once they did eveyone was done eating. None of the other waitresses were working as a team and trying to help the server since he was overwhelmed. I never seen a manger in site trying to direct the afternoon. I really hope they fix this problem.

3 solid stars. It's not the best Mexican food by any standard, but it's filling. The chips and…read moresalsa are complimentary. The chips are decent, but the tomato-based salsa is very good! There's also a mild salsa (with large chunks of onions) and black refried beans that comes with the chips. Both were decent. I ordered the chicken enchilada burrito without cheese and sour cream I added a side of rice since the burrito doesn't come with rice inside. The rice is almost certainly precooked and isn't cooked at the restaurant. It has peas and carrots in it like something in the frozen section at the grocery store. It wasn't bad, but certainly nothing to brag about. The waiter was friendly and attentive. I would come back since the food is so low cost.

What a great spot. The only reason it didn't get five stars is due to the interior decor being a…read morebit bland and not fitting for a great authentic place. I arrived late from a long day of travel and work and was pleased to find the place still open after 9 pm. A wonderfully pleasant waitress took care of me and the kitchen promptly delivered Shrimp Fajitas sizzling and satisfying. A great find for a weary traveler. I recommend this place for sure.

The food is good…read more BUT.... They definitely need to learn about the timing of table service. More than once have I been there with groups when all the food came out at different times; it was bad. As in, three people were almost done eating their meals before two others got their food even brought out to the table. Most restaurants, if they have dishes that take 5 minutes to prepare and another dish that takes 10 minutes... well, they'll start on the 10 minute dish and then 5 minutes later start the 5 minute dishes, then all the food can be served at the same time so you don't have a table full of awkward people waiting on each other while food gets cold. El Tampico needs to fix this issue, then it will be much nicer to bring groups of people there. As it is, I've heard people say they don't want to go there with groups specifically because of that. I hope they fix that issue.
