First things first. How can your restaurant name be "El Tapatio", yet, you don't carry Tapatio hot…read moresauce!? So I've been coming through here for years, and I've never tried this place but I made it a point to today. I think I would have been better off walking to Burger King like I usually do. The place is bigger than it looks. Typical Mexican decorations and a ton of TVs. My bar spot was sticky tho. I sat in the corner of the bar. Some server came and brought chips and salsa and set it two seats over from me. I mean are they for me or? Well, they're still sitting there cuz I dunno. She didn't even acknowledge me. We were actually at 4 stars when I sat down and was greeted by the bartender, but here I am sitting, going on 40 minutes wanting to order another round of food as she makes drinks and waits on other patrons. Maybe she thinks my money ran out. I ordered a vodka Red Bull to start, and then I ordered a "Mezcalito", that was Mezcal and grapefruit soda, with supposedly a black lava salted rim. Nope, jist mezcal and soda tossed into a glass, no salt, even after ASKING for it, but they have plenty for margaritas, and micheladas, even chamoy. Its amazing how much effort she's putting into these cocktails for other people. I do know it's heavily influenced by locals, I talked to a really nice gentleman who came here with his wife every Friday night before she passed last january. Super nice fella. Oohhhh, If the bartender only knew I was a 40% tipper, eh? I won't be tonight. And I'm giving it about 5 more minutes before I pay my bill and walk out of here and go order food across the street. I ordered a "Texas" taco salad, that apparently had steak, chicken and shrimp. It was ok, but the white queso they plated it on is horrible. And it's a lot smaller than I had thought, or what the picture shows, henceforth me STILL sitting here wanting to order more food. They don't have tapatio, or Cholula if that's your thing. They have valentino, you know that hot sauce you put on churros. They don't have cucumber vodka, which really isn't a surprise, but they don't have mint either. The bartender told me people ask for mojitos all the time but they don't have the stuff to make them. Well whaddya know, she finally came back and checked on me after all this time. I'd say the greater of 25 minutes? And I ordered some soup so we'll see how that turns out. I really shouldn't have, but I'm still hungry after my little salad. I just ordered a single shot of Titos over ice, and she took it up on herself to make me another cocktail. I'm not drinking it. I'm seriously thinking about going to one star. As I still sit and wait for my soup. So my Caldo del Mar finally came out. I CAN say that it was piping hot, but I can also say that the flavor of the broth left a lot to be desired. I actually had to ask for probably an entire lime, and even put salt and pepper in it to flavor it up a bit. It had some tilapia and shrimp in it, and broccoli and cauliflower? I understand the carrots but that was strange. Anyhow, I just paid $86 before tip to let myself know that I'll never be back. It was okay, but just not good enough to go back. Looks like I'll be marching up to Burger King tomorrow! If you KNOW Mexican food, then you know this isn't good "Mexican food" if you DONT know, then you'll THINK it's good Mexican food. It's not. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

First they got my order wrong, i got the enchilada and burrito combo and instead they brought me two chicken enchiladas. but we already waited long enough so i kept my plate. Then i wanted spicy salsa for my food and my mom repeatedly asked employees walking past our table for help INCLUDING our waitress AND the owner, Yet they chose to keep ignoring us. At first i believed that she was just busy but then i noticed she kept going back to her other tables attending them over and over with no problem but still blatantly ignoring us. There is not excuse for this terrible service. ignoring your customers that have been nothing but respectful and Repeatedly ignoring them as they are yelling "Excuse me ma'am!!" is very wrong. we will never be coming back.

The service was great--we were seated right away and had just the right amount of time to look over the menu and order drinks and food. The restaurant offers a solid selection of classic Mexican dishes. As soon as we sat down, we were served complimentary chips and salsa. We also added cheese dip and chunky guacamole to start. The cheese dip was a bit watery, which made it tricky to scoop, but it still had good flavor. The chunky guacamole was made with big pieces of avocado, onion, and tomato, all topped with lime juice--simple and fresh. I ordered the Carne Asada Tacos, which came with a side of salsa. They were slightly dry but still tasty. Overall, it's a solid spot for Mexican food if you're visiting Carrollton.

There are some other really good ones, even in town, but The food is alway top notch as is the service. And unless we are very hungry we always have at least half of our food leftover for a second meal. Like most mexican restaurants it is a little dark inside, but the decor is appealing, and the restaurant is always clean. Although sometimes the wait can be a little long. Yet there is one in Tallapoosa that could give them a ran for their money, if it wasn't for the fact that every time we go in there, it is at least 20 minutes before they acknowledge us, then act like they were super busy, even though we are the only costumers in there, and they have been sitting on there rear ends since we walked in.
