    Fish, shrimp, and steak tacos
    Joy C.

    I only had a glass of margarita the first time I tried Tapatio. The place was clean and empty on a Thursday evening. The service was friendly when the server took our drink orders. We decided to come back about a couple of weeks later to try their food. There was one other table occupied with one customer dining in. On this visit, I've tried: FISH, SHRIMP, STEAK tacos- all of the proteins were fine, nothing really stood out. The tacos overall, were somehow disappointing. STEAK FAJITAS- I did not expect this dish to be soggy and bland. The steak was mixed and overcooked with the veggies. The chips and salsa were good. The drinks were decent. The service on the second visit was close to none existent. I'm not sure I'd come back. I wasn't too happy with the food and the service needs a lot of work and consistency.

    Even though this establishment JUST opened, they brought their "A" game. For dinner, we had an appetizer, 2 entrees, a soda & water and got out for under $50. Their guacamole is to die for. I had a shrimp dish that was very good. Parking could be an issue, depending on when you arrive. Stay away during commuter hours because they are located directly south of the Westmont train station.

    Tacos and Zope Ground beef y pastor taco. The food it's so delicious and the service it's amazing  I definitely coming back

As much as it was packed from 2:30 til 3:30 we were still were able to order a drink at bar. Martin was so nice and took our order and brought it to us being we went back to waiting line. The place is small with a hard time to walk around when it's full. It's a nice bar restaurant and didn't realized until we were leaving that there's a back area. The bartenders could be a little more social and happy bc that seem a bit dull and unhappy working there. Unlike Martin he was happy. Mildred was our server and she did phenomenal.

We stood at the door for about 20 minutes before someone finally told us the wait would be 1-2 hours. Keep in mind, the place is pretty small and already crowded, so there's barely any room to stand while you wait. After getting on the waitlist, we decided to go to a nearby spot for food--but not even 5 minutes later, we got called back saying our table was ready. When we returned, we were seated along the wall in a very tight space--so tight that if I stretched my arm out, I would've hit the person next to me. We noticed a large table nearby had been sitting for a while without food. When their food finally came out, it made us realize our wait would probably be even longer. After another 20 minutes passed and we still hadn't been able to order, we decided to leave. I'm not sure the space is fully ready for the rush right now--it feels overcrowded and service is slow. I'll give it another try once the hype dies down. I'm happy for their success, though--just be prepared to be patient when you go.

Once we ordered there was a massive influx of customers, it was great to see this place was so busy! I noticed there was advertising for a free taco on Mondays and $1 taco Tuesdays. This location is spacious and is kept clean. The music was at the perfect volume, you can hear it but it doesn't overpower your experience. Very much background music where you don't need to shout in order to have a conversation. The staff member that helped us was friendly and patient. We were undecided about what we wanted so it took us a few extra minutes to order. Once everything was ready it was brought over to our table. When dining in, you're provided a complimentary basket of chips and salsa. For my dinner I went with the 3 taco plate that comes with rice and beans. I chose the ground beef, paneer and chicken tinga tacos. Everything was flavorful and the portion was satisfying. The rice and beans continue to be a miss for me, but I continue to order it. IMHO the rice is way too bland. The refried beans for me tasty old. My husband thought they were fine but idk. I always say I'll stop ordering their rice and beans but then do it anyway.. I'm still pretty hopeful that eventually I'll stop thinking it's bland lol.

This is meant to be your crazy expensive birthday bash or celebration, not an every day place. We are lucky to have a gem like this in Schaumburg with very busy servers who try their absolute best to give you a flashy service with delicious food. Are you seriously expecting this to be $50 meal for four? No way. There are many places you can get the same thing. Every time I've gone here, I've spent good money that I worked hard for, and have had great memories in the process. If you're expecting a simple Mexican restaurant, this is not your place. This is high end and very busy. Make a reservation, call in advance to make sure it's set. OpenTable is used by many restaurants, so you can't blame this restaurant for OpenTable's mistakes. The Los Tres Huastecos was PHENOMENAL. The Camarones Calavera was really fun to watch, experience, and eat. I don't drink, but my family loved their flashy drinks (the Deseo was their favorite). They made sure my father felt special on his birthday with a sash, a custom menu (which we requested for in advance with our reservation), and most servers took a moment to say happy birthday even when they weren't serving our table!! Chris was a fantastic server who despite being very busy, did a wonderful job with his service. I won't defend a place for no reason; I truly had a wonderful time that deserves its praise. I research everywhere I go, so obviously when my paycheck hasn't cleared, I'm not going here. But you also wouldn't go to Fogo De Chao or Hell's Kitchen and expect it to be as cheap as my burger at a Chili's (which I love as well). (Also for the comments about the guac, I do agree, but I've also seen the same size portion at other chains for the same price. *cough* south of the boarder *cough*)

They have a bar and tvs playing sports on the side too. Service was fast and nice. I got the Tulum Special and the limeade. The Tulum Special is a mix of nicely seasoned chicken, shrimp, cheese, rice, and fajita veggies. It also came with several corn tortillas wrapped in a vibrant colored fabric (which ngl, do they wash and reuse those?) that I could scoop the mix into. Pretty tasty (and also something I could make at home?). Portions were good - I took home about half and the leftovers made another two small meals. The limeade was freshly squeezed and nicely sour - really worth a try! My friend got veggie tacos and said they were watery. Overall good experience! I'll be be back for the fish folks rave about.
