We enjoyed the happy hour menu prices and the friendly and welcoming service staff. The food choices were plenty and very tasty!

This place is so neat and vibrant. The space really brought me to Mexico with all the flare. When you walk in the back there are two bathrooms that are very well maintained. The food here is great. We went for HH& gotta say the item list is pretty good for the price. You can tell everything is made In house down to the salsa they provide when you sit down. If you want more it's an additional cost of a couple bucks. The service here was great, everyone was attentive and well prepared to clear off tables as you finish. Def coming back! read more

I've been coming here for years and always order the same things. And I can say candidly that they've downgraded their ingredients. Sauces are awful, guacamole not the same, salsa pretty watery and margaritas are void of any alcohol. I hate to give such a crappy review but there's no way to contact them via email. Both of us felt a little queasy afterwards... sorry to say, not returning ... read more

We were in Factoria and had dinner at Tapatio Mexican. We hadn't eaten here in a few years and enjoyed our dinner. We got Quesadilla Mexicana with Chicken, and Enchiladas Guadalajara with Chicken. The Quesadilla Mexicana was good. We were recommended the Enchiladas Guadalajara and it lived up to expectations. I loved the sauces that came with it. read more

Delicious! Ask for whole beans instead of refried. They are a lot healthier. Also HH is from 3-6:30pm. Service is great. They are extremely cordial and attentive. read more

This is a spot my boyfriend loves from his childhood, so we go here every so often! It has really cool vibes, lots of art and color, a really cool spot. The staff is awesome. Super kind and helpful and we usually get very fast service. I am gluten free and they are pretty good at helping me navigate the menu with my allergy. I generally get one of their garlic shrimp dishes, which is always so good, whether I get takeout or dine in. I will say, the portions are MASSIVE and hard to finish. Lots of cheese and other fats. So it is delicious, but I might not recommend this spot to anyone on a diet. The chips are delicious and fresh and the margaritas are huge. If you are looking for a classic Mexican food dinner, this is a great spot to try out and enjoy some grub. read more

Noisy and bright with painted chairs, painted tables, painted everything. The food is pretty standard American Mexican restaurant food. There are no surprises here. The wait staff are friendly. Clean bathrooms. The prices recently went up, which is probably true everywhere. read more

Service was great! Came for happy hour. Nachos was quite decent. The street taco was okay. Would probably skip the tequitos. Would come back to try other items in the future. read more

Tapatio in Factoria checks all the boxes: Complimentary chips & salsa, combination meals with rice & beans; reasonably priced - $32.95 for two entrees including tax and tip & free parking. This is a solid lunch spot when you're wanting Mexican food. Service was friendly and quick. read more

Good restaurant for large portions at a cheap price! I got the 2 item combination, which was only 12.25 and was quite filling, especially because it came with rice and beans. The actual items in the combination are pretty minimal - many of the items were essentially tortilla around meat, with all the accoutrements on the outside (lettuce / tomato). Very tasty even if the items weren't all that unique between each other. read more

Tapatio Mexican Restaurant - 2 item Combination with enchilada and chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Decent Mexican restaurant in the Bellevue area. Complimentary chips were a little stale but their salsa is delicious. I got the espresso burrito. Tasted pretty standard tbh, felt like there could have been more meat. $16 for a burrito - honest good value, it was a massive burrito. Flavors were just kinda ... eh. Service was great ! Super friendly and attentive, refilled our waters and checked in pretty often. Good place for big groups and there is outdoor seating as well. Can be loud depending on how many parties are there but that's expected. Yum! read more

Do not order their beef tacos for pick up. They say give them 15 min, I was there in 10 and when I got them home, they were a soggy mess. The Tacos were cold as if pre-made and sitting on the counter for an hour. I had GI upset for 2 days. read more

We visited on a Wednesday evening and were impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. I thoroughly enjoyed my margarita and steak. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and spacious, with reasonable prices. Parking was convenient, thanks to the on-site lot. read more

Good, friendly service, and a nice classic tex-mex ambiance. The taco was very okay - I wouldn't get it again - but the enchilada was pretty good. The rice and beans were good, and the strawberry lemonade was good. I'd say it's fairly average, but I'd say the average restaurant is good, so it's worth checking out. read more

Definitely delicious! YummO. Eat here if you can. Everything is so good and their Cadillac Margaritas are so delicious.

Great value and good happy hour deals. This is a place to swing by for lunch or for happy hour! The carne asada is probably my go-to here and it's about $17. Comes with rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole. You can choose corn or flour tortillas. Interior is decorated with vibrant colors and provides a fun atmosphere. Service is always great here. read more

i hate to say it, but this was the absolute worst mexican food i've ever had in my life. even for "tex mex" it was nasty. i couldn't finish it. the seattle area in general has a very weak mexican food scene already, but this was just inedible. i got the fish tacos & everything just tasted rancid. at the least the service was okay read more

RAW meat , HAIR IN FOOD , NO REFUND and he wouldn't remake it ?? because he said I just want something free and I should've came late at night when they were already closed after my 12 hour work shift ... When you search them up on Apple Maps, this is the website that comes up which even says they have steak fries https://eltapatioca.com/ .. when I went to order they charge me double the price and said it's their lunch menu and they don't have steak fries???? read more

We've been coming to Tapatio for years now and the food is always consistently good. They have happy hour until 6:30 which includes food and drinks and is one of the best places for happy hour in the area. The service is always polite and they give you free chips and salsa, which is a nice touch. The prices are very reasonable for the area and my kids really like the deep fried ice cream. The decor is also vibrant with different scenes on the chairs some of which have a Seahawks theme which is fun. They also have a few TVs in the back and a full bar. One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area - by far. read more

Great experience! After a few long days working in Seattle, I was ready to go home. But first, we had Tapatio delivered to our hotel room via Yelp/GrubBub. The food was great and reasonably priced for the area and convenience. Ordered through Yelp allowed us to track the order to our door. read more

No waiter to take our order, after waiting 15 minutes. We will never to return again. Previously, this was my favorite restaurant in Factoria. Now, we will only go to restaurants in the Newcastle area. Facts: We entered and were seated in an area with no other customers about 5pm. We asked to be seated next to the window. Chips and salsa were brought a few minutes later. Another couple entered a few minutes after that. Then, we noticed that they were served drinks. We asked the server who brought our chips for a waiter. No one came. After a few minutes, I found a lady who was escorting others to tables and asked for a waiter. None came. After 15 minutes, we left. read more

My family of 8 went tonite and the service was terrible. They were having a private party sothey should have closed the restaurant to the public. They put us at 2 seperate tables and the groups happy hour was standing right on top of us we could not carry on a conversation. One of our children's meal was wrong we had to ask for it 3 times before we got it correct. They also overcharged us. There was a table for 8 and no one ever sat at it ? Overall the service plus the food was not very good. dont Think we will Give them any more of our business read more

We enjoyed our take out meal. The spinach enchiladas and enchiladas Guadalajara were both tasty and full of flavor. Having the chips and salsa included was an added bonus. The salsa was muy picante, as a word of warning. On the down side, I was disappointed they included plastic forks and paper napkins, which I didn't ask for. There's been a law in Washington this year that restaurants can only include single use disposable service items if the customer requests them. The intent is to reduce waste and, as a side benefit, save the restaurants money too. I also with they used paper bags instead of thin film plastic. read more

I came here after driving up from Portland in the morning, and was FAMISHED! I was supposed to meet up with someone, but they needed more time before I could show up, so I wanted somewhere kinda quiet where I could get a bite to eat, and relax for a bit before leaving. I found exactly that at Tapatio Mexican Restaurant. I ordered a plate of tacos, and found a nice cozy corner to chow down. The tacos were pretty solid, middle of the road. The server brought me some of their house sauce to add on top, which definitely kicked it up a notch (and was appreciated!). I chowed down pretty quick, and then proceeded to hang out for about 20-30 minutes while I finished up my drink. Nobody rushed me, or gave me any looks. They weren't busy, and since I wasn't taking up any needed space, they didn't seem to care that I was just sitting there killing time. A blessing for me, cuz it was hot outside! I'd definitely come here again the next time I'm in town. I sometimes stay in a hotel nearby, so when I do, I'll be back! There's plenty more on the menu I want to try! read more

First timer at Tapatio in Factoria. Not to be confused with Tapatio a few miles down on coal creek (also a good choice.) At first glance I thought they were a chain but upon looking their websites up, can confirm they are 2 different restaurants. I ordered the 2 item combo plate, with chile relleno and a chicken chimichanga. It came with rice and beans, chips and salsa. For $17 it's a bang for your buck, good food and healthy portions. I will definitely look to order from them again in the future to try more of their menu items. If you're looking to check them out for dine in, they're located right next to the Starbucks by the QFC in Factoria. read more

Beware! They charge you an additional 3.5% credit card charge! Unfortunately you don't even know until you get you bill afterwards!

Fantastic food, great ambience and excellent service!! We absolutely love coming here!! Would highly recommend for a fun, casual dining experience! read more

Had a wonderful family dinner tonight. I love their outdoor seating setup. Last time I came was before COVID, so their outdoor seating was new to me. This maybe the best thing created thru COVID. Ordered carne asada, tapatio salad, kids taco meal, chicken taqueria and of course house margaritas. Everything was tasty, service was good. We will be back again on another sunny day. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! I been here so many times and every single time is ALWAYS a great time. The workers here are always great and attentive if it's not jam packed of course which kinda spoils this review haha. Food always comes out hot and fresh, the chips and salsa is super delicious and always consistent with the flavor and freshness! This is my Go-To for Mexican food in Bellevue because simply price and flavor with a dash of consistency is just unmatched. Energy here is great all the time and food like I said is great all around. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Now if you read it this far pro tip ask for the salsa picante!! If you love some Smokey spicy salsa for topping on anything you order you won't be let down. My love and I most times order the "Molcajete" and it's a good amount of food for 2 or a super duper hungry person by themselves haha paired with the salsa picante is unmatched! Drinks are great also!!! House margarita!! Fresh pina colada! You won't be disappointed! read more

Best house made, served warm delicious chips ever! Just be careful not to over stuff yourself on them before your entrees come. They're dangerously good!!! The combo was the best decision tonight for an indecisive mind and I got to taste a little bit of everything. Been here and the Newcastle location many many times -- always a great experience!! I've eaten outside and they have great, large ;) margaritas too! read more

A friend recommended this authentic restaurant who had dined here for years. The rating is based on our dinner: (1-5 with 5 as the best) Food: 4/5 - 2 of us opted for the 2 combo selection that included rice & beans. I had a beef enchilada and beans tostada. The other ordered the chimichanga vegetarian which was tasty. The offered complimentary salsa with crispy chips. Salsa was too spicy to my liking. Lots of food choices from vegans to carnivores. Value: prices were reasonable - $14.95 for my combo dish with ā sufficient portion. Ambience 5/5. A cheery & vibrant decor. I choose to sit in a booth. Service: 5/5 friendly & prompt service. Didn't wait long for our food. Location: free parking in the strip mall. Look for their happy hour specials from 3-6:30 pm. They also offer specials based on the day of the week. read more

After recent Mexican restaurant closures in Bellevue, this is one of the few remaining. The prices are generally okay, the service is friendly, and it has a pretty extensive menu. I like the beef quesadillas (even though it's not steak). Had a margarita that was tasty, but I wouldn't order again as I didn't taste any alcohol. With a decorative ambiance, I plan to go back. read more

I really enjoyed my takeout spinach and mushroom enchilada tonight. Perfectly seasoned for me, with mild heat. I also enjoyed the rice and beans and complementary chips. It's been a bit since we've eaten at Tapatio, but time to add it back to our fav nearby spots list. read more

Tapatio is a super accomodating all-around awesome Mexican restaurant! We walked in as a group of 10 people for a work lunch and we were seated immediately. They provided very fast service and the staff was super friendly and chatted with us. Food tasted as you'd expect from any good Mexican restaurant. Most importantly, the chips and salsa are 10/10! read more

Ordered a taco salad w/shredded beef, it was good, not the best but decent for less than $11. With prices of food price was decent.

Tasteless food. I'd go to Taco Bell across the street and get better food, plus save some money. House margs are premade and not good at all. read more

Our go to Mexican restaurant. Good food and good service. Their chips and salsa are the best! If you can't stand spicy, make sure you ask for mild salsa. The one they usually serve is on the spicier side. I always order the Carne Asada dinner plate with black beans. The meat is very tasty. Can't go wrong with this dish. Another usual with our group is the Asada burrito. It's like having the Carne Asada dinner plate in a burrito. But instead of refried beans, it comes with whole pinto beans. Cadillac margarita and sangria are the drinks we usually order. Both are good. The sangria is on the sweeter side. read more

My friend and I came here for quick drinks and a light meal last week. We used to come here with our high school friends a few years back. We were promptly seated at a booth right as we walked in the door around 7pm. It's been a while, but they still have the same cool lanterns and colorful wall and table decor. It really gives it a homey/ casa vibe. We both ordered the house margarita ($7) and then shared two salads: the grilled chicken salad and the fajita chicken salad. The margarita was very tasty and not too tangy. You could also upgrade it to a monster size for an additional $3, but we had other plans for after dinner and were happy with the regular sized margaritas. Of the two salads, we enjoyed the grilled chicken salad slightly more. The fajita chicken was good, but it wasn't grilled (i think it was sautéed or baked in a light tomato sauce). Our bill came out to about $45 total , which was very reasonable considering that we got drinks as well. They also give out Andes mints after, which is a huge plus in my book :) 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere read more
