My fiancé and I started coming here when we first met about 4 years ago. We always had a pleasant experience up until recently. About 8 to 10 weeks ago we came in and where seated and then another table was seated in the same section about five minute after we where seated . We only saw the bus boy who gave me some chips and salsa, I waiter ignored us and took care of the table that was just sat. I tried to get his attention and he ignored me. We left disappointed. We just gave them a second chance and the waitress was attentive . I am a Sous Chef for a profession . This time It was the food I ordered the combo platter the chimichanga and Chili Relleno platter. The Chimichanga turned out to be a soggy burrito that was not deep fried and smothered in wet shredded ice burg lettuce fried that made the non fried flour tortilla doughy, the chili relleno was a chili omelette not a chili relleno. I only ate two bites of each and was dissatisfied. I asked a bus boy who was passing by for my waitress instead I get this guy who doesn't introduce himself come to the table. I proceeded to show him how the chimichanga was a soggy burrito and the Chile relleno was just and chili omelette and wasn't cooked and cold in the middle and My fiancé's order of the super nacho the nachos where soggy and the inside was cold. He was confrontational and rude didn't offer how he could of made our experience better or apologized for the terrible food. I asked for our check. We paid and left, We will never come back. I will go out of my way from this day forward to tell everybody I know and meet to never eat at this establishment. Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me. Never again. read more

I've been coming here for over twenty years, and the service has almost always been good. But last night we had a horrible experience. I came in with my daughter for some dinner. We were waited on quickly and the servers refilled our drinks and got our meals out very fast, so I'll give them that. However, my meal was very subpar, and then we have the whole reason for this review: My daughter's french fries. The fries themselves are usually alright. Nothing special. But my daughter found a strange piece of metal in her first plate of fries (she was hungry, so she got two orders), and after that, she was too panicked to eat the second plate or finish off the first plate. We brought this to the waiters attention and asked for them to remove the cost of one of fry orders (she managed to get through most of the first plate before finding the piece of metal) and while they did so, I felt like I was bothering them and it was brushed off as not being a big deal. In addition to all of this, the people there now give me the impression of being distant and curt. We also didn't receive an apology, and honestly, they should of refunded both of the fry orders for something like that. You should NEVER find foreign objects in your food, especially not something like a hazardous piece of metal. So in conclusion, it's highly unlikely we'll ever be coming back. My daughter herself told me to never bring her there again, and I can't see myself going back ever again, either. Or at least, not for a very, very long time. I would highly recommend avoiding this place at all costs and eating elsewhere. read more

I recently had the pleasure to go to Tampico Mexican restaurant that left me thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and a bustling atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Of all the dishes I tried, the standout for me were the ground beef enchiladas. The meat was seasoned to perfection, and the dish had just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Every bite was a delight, and I could not help but order another plate to take home. But what really stole the show for me was the margarita. I have had my fair share of margaritas, but this one was truly the best I have ever tasted, even better than those I have had in Mexico. The balance of tequila, lime juice, and sweet and sour was just right, and the rim of salt added the perfect touch. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive and quick to respond to any requests. The atmosphere was lively and fun, making it the perfect place to enjoy with friends or a special occasion In conclusion, if you are looking for a Mexican restaurant that serves up great food, fantastic drinks, and an all-around amazing experience, I highly recommend this restaurant. Don't forget to try the ground beef enchiladas and the margarita - you won't regret it! read more

I really want to like this place. I have been going here for at least twenty years.... Took a break in general from dining out for a while but always remembered the good food and bevs this place put out. Two experiences in the last month has solidified no return, despite the good food. First one, three-ish in the afternoon last thursday, asked for a booth by the fire. Chips and salsa were on the table almost before we even sat.... awesome. Then we sat and sat and sat, all the while other tables being sat....... Then, the waiter kept avoiding our table, almost like it was on purpose. Im dying for a beverage, our whole bowl of chips are gone, the table still hasnt been touched.Last straw, the waiter started helping all the others who had arrived after us. Done....... Walked out. Not gonna beg to spend my money here. Second try... yesterday.... three-ish in the afternoon. Asked for a booth. Was told we had to sit in the front at a table...... didnt waste anymore time,,, walked out. Two times in a week my money was denied. DONE read more

We absolutely love this restaurant! We visit at least 4-5 times a month, and every single time, we leave with full hearts and full stomachs. The staff is always wonderful--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food is simply amazing--delicious, with generous portions, and they're always happy to customize your dish to your liking. Whether you want something extra spicy or a little milder, they're always accommodating. And let's not forget the margaritas! We always go for the Cadillac margaritas, which are perfectly made every time. They're the perfect complement to the meal and add that extra touch of indulgence. What we appreciate most is the consistency; every visit brings a predictable and satisfying dining experience. We can't say enough great things about this place. If you're looking for authentic, mouth-watering Mexican cuisine with a warm and inviting atmosphere, this is it! Salud!! read more

What a gem! My mom and I absolutely loved this place. The food is not just good; it's very tasty! We find ourselves coming back over and over again, drawn in by the combination of a relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. Now, let's talk about the Carne Asada - it's a standout. The flavors are on point, and it's become a favorite for us. What's even better is that this place delivers quality food with generous portions, all at a surprisingly low cost. But here's the real kicker - the service. It's hands down the best I've ever experienced. The staff goes above and beyond, making you feel not just like a customer but like a valued guest. We've already decided that we're definitely coming back. If you're in the mood for fantastic food, a welcoming atmosphere, and unmatched service, this place is a winner. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

Been going here for over thirty years but will not be returning. It was good until maria retired and and they fired some of their best waiters. It was a warm atmosphere. Juan the current manager has made this a cold uninviting place to be. The parking lot is usually full of drug addicts and as you exit into the alley someone might be shooting up next to the dumpster. read more

I absolutely love Mexican food and my wife suggested we come here. She and some of her co-workers came here for lunch and I heard all about it. We decided to come here for dinner and am I glad we did! Food was great, big portions, drinks were tasty and the service was fast & friendly! read more

Over the last 5-6 years Tampico restaurant has gone downhill. The food has become mediocre and their margaritas went from One-N-Done to a $12 splash of tequila with 12oz of mixer. The parking lot is always full of drug addicts and constantly worry about your car getting broken into. read more

My favorite Mexican place!!! Always friendly, always fast, and always good! And in the winter when it's cold outside, there's nothing like sitting in front of the big fireplace. I could sit there and drink beer for hours!!! You simply MUST give it a try! read more

The Everett Kendo and Iaido Club went here after practice for many years and loved it. It was also greatly favored by my dear lifelong friend Lita Sheldon. In this transient world things do change, but memories linger. Thanks so much for everything. read more

The food is O.K. but WOW is it expensive. I paid $40 for four street tacos and one carne asada............. Holy crap that's outrageous. I understand trying to make a buck during the pandemic, but now it cost you a customer. read more

Food was blah, I have definitely had better. Margaritas were golden! Made up for the rest. Just dont use them to put out the fire from the hot sauce. :) read more

Always a pleasure going into such a family setting with great food and service! Not to mention the Margaritas!

Enjoyed their food more than other restaurants in the area. The guacamole is excellent. I enjoyed the fajitas!

At this restaurant a weird old man came up to me then forced a yellow fluid down on mouth. truly amazing
