Caldo de res and red pozole were great! Got 2 large orders. I know where to go now for my soup fix for these upcoming cold months!

Ordered food to go and it was delicious. The only complaint I have is the portions being small when compared to the portions you receive when eating at the restaurant. read more

Their food is great but their customer service resembles the 1 Star. The waitresses there truly don't care and are to young to be in charge. Also at least answer the phone and put people on hold don't just let it ring read more

Good food and service. I love the chilaquiles with pollo. Small and cozy. Authentic Mexican food

Authentic Mexican food. Fast service. Would have never die am here if not for my relatives who live in the town. It is literally sitting on the backside of a gas station. Perfect example don't judge a book by its cover! Excellent margaritas salsa homemade and perfect and my three enchilada dish was amazing. read more

Delicious, friendly, good menu of standard tex-mex food. The ambiance is okay. I come here almost every week for the fajitas. But the migas are great, too. read more

Amazing breakfast! Don't be put off by the location, this place is a sweet, local, spot with awesome service and great food. It's self seating with booth and table options. They also had the futbol game on while we were there and the place was very clean, if a little run down. On a Saturday morning before 10 am it was fairly busy, a great sign! I love nothing more than a breakfast with coffee, chips, and salsa! This place delivers. I ordered two breakfast tacos and left totally stuffed. read more

Got take out & it wasn't all that great. The most expensive item the Pina Rellena De Mariscos was NASTY. Had no flavor & just tasted blah. Also had shrimp nachos those were tasty. Botana plate had stuffed pepper seemed old & like frozen stuffed peppers not fresh made. Burrito was average for $7 which is ok with me. When order was placed name was not taken which made confusen at pick up. Not satisfied & will not return. Would not advise others to order take out (I was only 10 minutes from the restaurant) . May be better in store. read more

Been here a few times and food is good. I live their salsa a bit on the spicy side but super delicious. Got gorditas of barbacoa but it needs some more seasoning. Overall great atmosphere and clean and their employees are super nice... worth the try read more

The food is good but everybody is extremely rude. I called for a to go order and the lady on the phone said she did not speak any English. I asked her if she could get someone that does. She said no and hung up!!! I go there to the actual place for my to go order and I stood there for 5 min as every single server and food runner walked past me with no acknowledgement at all. The place is super small so it's not possible that I wasn't noticed. A simple someone will be with you would have been nice. Finally, low and behold a lady that spoke English took my order. I will never return there. The rudeness is unbelievable. It's only getting 2 stars because the food was decent. read more

A suggested spot, I met my friend there with hesitation. Honestly though, I usually saw low riders in front and since it was connected to a gas station I actually thought it was a body shop of some sort. Just because I'm from TX does not mean I speak Spanish and would automatically know that Los Tapatios was a restaurant. Strike one towards me for my ignorance. First off, this place is connected to a gas station. Let's face it, the only places I'm used to seeing connected to a gas station are those buffets at the Flying J's where truckers eat, Subways, and other places you go just to get subsistence and use the toilet. But hey, it can be seen right off the highway and it's easy to get to. You automatically get a basket of sturdy tortilla chips which go well with the lovely container of some what chunky salsa. I will admit that at least two of those stars are for the chips and salsa. It had a good heat and was heavy on the "herby" cilantro taste, as my friend put it, which made it fantastic. We ordered the menudo, carne guisada (Mexican beef stew) and beef enchiladas. The plates resembled typical Tex-Mex entrees found across Texas accompanied by refried beans, rice and shredded lettuce with tomatoes. The rice and beans were served on a firey hot plate, which made the items like napalm on my tongue. The carne guisada was good but not good enough to write home to mom about. It was one of those cases where the first 5-10 bites were good but from then on the taste was monotonous. My friend said the enchiladas, also accompanied by beans, rice and shredded lettuce with tomatoes, was tasty. He polished off his plate and continued to eat the chips and salsa. Usually I enjoy eating menudo, but when my friend tried the menudo and asked me what that "tatse" was, I suddenly questioned my soon to be enjoyment. It did not taste like chile peppers, or cumin, or hominy. Now I do not know for sure, but I want to say maybe it tasted like tripe that.... just was not quite right. I'm not saying that the menudo was bad or rotten, just not like menudo I was used to. Service was quick and friendly; which helped when she refilled our chips and salsa twice. If anything come for the chips and salsa. read more

I have to start off by saying 8 years in Texas and have yet to find another restaurant that does real lemonade, Aguas frescas, even fresh squeezed orange juice the way I had them when I would visit Mexico. We went craving menudo, the food was good but the drinks to me were the best. I will go back again and try other dishes. My daughter had tacos and she really liked them. read more

I love this place! I know that it looks kind of out of the ordinary since it is connected to a gas station. However, just step inside you will be surprised that it is a fully functioning restaurant. Every time I go there I am so excited because they serve the BEST chips and salsa. AND it is unlimited!! I am usually so hungry that I stuff myself with chippy goodness! =) I like their hard tacos, or small soft tacos. Every time we go there we order a main dish like a burrito or chimichanga and as a side we order 2 hard tacos, usually beef. but ... I would get the carne asada! The enchiladas are good too! I love the rice and beans. Nice subtle flavors always tasting fresh and homemade. I just love this place! I live in CA... but when I visit my dad in Cedar Hill. I always have to make a stop here. Its a tradition. =) read more

Very good real Mexican food like you would find South of the Border and the prices are very fair! They have beer and margaritas. Excellent Shrimp Soup! This is one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants in Texas, and it is in Cedar Hill, and almost in a Gas Station. That said, the food is authentic like what I find when I travel to Mexico, they have Tex Mex as well. The chips and salsa is good, and the enchiladas are very good. The chilaquiles for breakfast are a nice treat. The chimichanga is good, and the Carnitas are very good. This is a great hole in the wall. A huge surprise if you are not expecting it, b/c who thinks of restaurants in gas stations. You will not be dissapointed at this neat little Mexican restaurant. read more

Had a late lunch today at Los Tapatios. An earlier review mentioned that it was on the southbound side on Hwy 67. It is not. It is on the northbound side and is attached to the Texaco. The spinach enchiladas were not bad, not terribly flavorful, but not bad at all. The chip were pretty good, but the salsa was excellent, as were the rice and refried beans on the side. I will definitely return. read more

The food is excellent and the music choice is awesome. I sang to every song played. The drinks are tasty and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Tended to our every need. Love it!!! Def recommend. read more

My husband and I love coming here! The food never fails! It's so delicious! The service is always good!

First let me say that the google map currently on this page is misleading on where this restaurant is located. It is actually on the south-side service road to Hwy 67 between Joe Wilson Rd and 1382. Now that that's out of the way... great breakfast! We were going Christmas shopping and wanted to eat breakfast before getting started. Migas were excellent and accompanied by very tasty potatoes and refried beans. I prefer very little chiles in my migas while my husband loves them piled on. They fixed it to our specifications so absolutely no complaints in that department. You are also offered your choice of corn or flour tortillas. My friend had the Huevos Divorciados con Chilaquiles-- which translates apparently to two eggs separated on the plate by the chilaquiles. Each fried egg covered in a different sauce, one green and one red, appropriate to begin our Christmas shopping day :) She said it was very good, and sauces were very spicy. As many have said the chips and salsa are worth writing home about.... tasting fresh and cilantro-y, albeit with a nice bite of warmth from fresh jalepeno. The waitresses were attentive with refills on the coffee and tea without being overbearing and intrusive. Definitely will be back again for breakfast and plan to make a trip out one evening to experience the normal mexican fare, so stay tuned. read more

Great place, wonderful food and outstanding service, been there several times and never disappointed

Always has food and I am a regular. Something is going on with the wait staff, apparently they have been unable to retain their seasoned staff and have an almost all brand new team. Service is nowhere what it use to be and even the food looks different. I hope they are able to rebound! read more

What you see is what you get. There's nothing more or less. This place is straight up just mexican food. Don't come here for anything flashy or trendy. You're gonna get tacos, chalupas, fajitas and other Tex Mex staples. The plates aren't fancy. The food tastes decent and the price matches. If you want fancy do not come here. This place is attached to some sort of mechanic shop. read more

***The phone number has changed!! 972.637.4737*** This place has awesome chicken tortilla soup. Try it you will not be disappointed. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. Not much on curb appeal but this is definitely a diamond. read more

1)connected to a gas station. Looks like a heavy traffic area for trucks, since the gas station had 3 diesel pumps. 2)food made myself and my friend sick. Was a call in order. Fajita nachos and i had a chicken quesadilla. My quesadilla was a nice size and cut in 3 parts. By the time i finished the 2nd, i felt it all get unsettled. My friend said the same about hers as well. Will never go back. read more

The food was delish!!! Traveling and just stopped in for a bite. fajitas were really good and flavorful .

Melissa is the best employee they have! Great tacos al pastor! Great atmosphere!!!!!!

Love this place. The food is always hot and fresh. The staff has always been very attentive. The Puerco con chile rojo is out of this world.

Huge variety of classic plates, great tacos, and awesome drinks. Open 24 hr, and ready to serve you inhouse salsa and chips while you wait to get your food. read more

Driving on to the parking lot of this place I told my mom "oh heck no!" It looked like a Mexican restaurant / auto garage. I agreed to give it a chance only after she went in and checked out the cleanliness. It looked acceptable so we decided to order. We had a group of four and between us we tried: chicken enchiladas, chicken quesadillas, flautas, and nachos. We all enjoyed our meals and the salsa was delicious!! I wouldn't say it's a place that is worth going out of your way, but if you're in the area and looking for average Mexican food, this place will do. read more

So we have lived in Cedar Hill for 7 yrs and have driven by this place a hundred times and always remarked that we should try it. Tonight we finally did and it was excellent! We shared an order of mixed fajitas-beef, chicken and shrimp. The shrimp was big and delicious as was the beef and chicken too. We arrived a bit early so our Margaritas were BOGO. Chips we're tasty as and the Salsa was the best I have had in years. Portion size was good but we took nothing home. Service was excellent as our waitress was very attentive and responsive. We will definitely be back. Don't let the exterior of this place deter you. This is the real deal. Thanks read more

If you're going to run a Mexican restaurant you must have homemade tortillas. There is too much competition to not have homemade tortillas. They tasted store bought. The food is your average Mexican food. In my opinion there was nothing to really make it amazing. The chips and salsa were good. It took about 20-25 minutes to get our food. The service itself was slow. Maybe it was because they had only two servers. There was nothing about this place that made me think "I have to come back!". As I said before, there is a lot of competition, so you must be on your A game. I'll probably explore other options in the future. read more

my husband and I moved to Duncanville 2 years ago so we had to find all new restaurants to eat at we stumbled upon this one simply just by driving by so we decided to give it a try.. the waitresses are nice and courteous. this place is not very big but it stay pretty busy. the chips are good but the salsa is very spicy as it should be in a Mexican restaurant. I have had the beef enchiladas,the chicken sour cream enchiladas, the taco salad and all of them were pretty decent food not very much flavor but fresh and hot. the prices are very reasonable also. This is where we go when we want some cheap hot fresh Mexican food. read more

First time diner, but I'm always encouraged when I see mostly Mexicans eating at a Mexican restaurant. Really fresh food and LOVED the homemade salsa. Chips were perfect too! And you GOTTA try the fresh squeezed lemonade, wisely recommended by our waiter. I will definitely return!! read more

I come here often and the Pozole and the menudo never disappoint. I really enjoy the Pozole the best but can't go wrong either way.

my favorite mexican food place in cedar hill. not too expensive and staff usually very on top of things.

Lacking in the atmosphere but good little hole in the wall. Recommend the spinach enchiladas and shredded beef tostadas from someone that knows what the real stuff taste like. Added bonus they have the TV set on the Spanish Telenovelas. read more

Very low quality food, if you are gonna put a restaurant you have to have good quality food that wont make people sick. This place use to been good but I dont know what they done to the chef. Putting resturant s is very competitive so you do have to step up the game. The Agua frescas are delicious! But the food is what needs some work. read more
