    Bomb carne asada

    I'm extremely picky , if I bite into a chewy burrito I'm spitting it out and throwing it away out of fear of getting another chewy bite . I asked for carne asada cheese and fries . Got exactly that , crispy fries, tender carne and some cheese. Their salsa is killer . 10/10 my 5 year old also couldn't get enough , should have gotten 2 .

    Chili Verde Burrito.  Delishious

    Extensive menu, Fish Tacos Thurs. to Sun., good salsa and chips. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Shady patio with a cool breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't be fooled, great food, worth a try.

    The food was delicious, everyone loved what they got. A huge shout out to the cashier that helped me order. He was fielding phone calls and walk in order pickups, and took the time to help me build two vegan meals for some people in our group. I highly recommend the potato tacos plus guac for your meat free friends. The salsa bar was freshly stocked when I came in, careful with the orange, a little goes a long way and it has a slow burn. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is on the smaller side and fills up fast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We didn't stay and eat, we rolled a few doors up the street and enjoyed our lunch in the back of McIlhenney's at their patio tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Hard shell shredded beef tacos

    I wish I could transport this Mexican spot to San Diego. The prices are fantastic, portions are huge, and it tastes pretty good too. My husband got shredded beef hard shell tacos and each one was quite a bit larger than I was expecting. He said it was delicious. My fajitas plate was $12 and it was a massive plate of food complete with refried beans, rice, sour cream, guacamole, and 4 corn tortillas. The refried beans really stood out as some of the best I've had. We were super satisfied with our meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There aren't too many seats on the inside, but the patio is large and nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Some good street parking. Located in the center of Alpine. The food is great and the staff is super friendly. Seems like this is the best taco shop in Alpine and the locals know it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside they had a few seats and a small bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They even have a small TV for the Padre games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great spot to get some tacos or even one of their daily specials. Can't wait to go back.

    Beef Flautas

    I love going to Tapatios. The staff are so friendly and everytime my food is absolutely delicious. Don't skip on the beef flautas when you go.

    Free chips and salsa - always a great starter!

    They have the best burritos in Alpine. Their California burritos are amazing. Only Mexican food worth it in Alpine!

    Best carnitas tacos and burritos! Located near Alpine Brewing's tasting room. Grab a burro and sit out back with a cold one!
