Hey guys, want a really good burrito? Order Doug''s special burrito! It's a Super Burrito with extra meat and extra cheese, order with Al Pastor meat (marinated pork plus extra cheese). Do it easy on rice and beans (they don't understand 1/2). Really good!!! read more

This was one of my to-go places before but not anymore , the lady in the front is kind of rude sometimes seems like she is pressuring you while you're trying to decide what to get ... As a customer I want to eat in a clean place but this is not the one ... the first impression that you got there when you came in is the trash lying around or the dirty tables , ughhh ! Music is too loud , tables are dirty and they're talking all the time kind of yelling at each other !!! . They don't care about their customers who want to eat in a good environment . Bad service , poor customer service , dirty tables and floors . Come on EL TAPATÍO you can do better ! No one wants to hear the staff conversations or the loud music !!! read more

Very little food. My burrito was tiny won't be coming here again . The worst part is I hardly got any meat and it was just beans

Tiny little spot, but solid. I ordered the chicken and Carne Asada Soft Tacos, which were tasty. I also ordered a Crunchy Asada Taco and a Bean & Cheese Burrito. The shell for the taco came out cracked and split down the middle. This made eating it difficult, but it was still good. The burrito was my least favorite, as it didn't really have much flavor at all, but I still ate it. The salsa bar has some decent offerings. Both the roja and verde salsas were very good. The service was friendly and the place is clean. No complaints. Taqueria El Tapatio is A'OK! read more

I've been going here for years and always loved it, but the torta with a nasty attitude needs to go and I still want my money back after having to pick up my own delivery food because she was too stupid to know the uber driver was from ordering thru your own damn website!!! read more

Ate here a few times before food is good , service was great the only complaint here is to watch out for what they charge you for they have 2 menus with price listing meals right above in display as you enter , but they are both wrong according to staff, versus what the actual cash register charges you it's super confusing and annoying , the girl working there was super nice and apologetic when I asked why I was being charged a complete different cost ?? There's actually 3 different prices she mentioned they where going thru a transition not sure of what ?? But the manager needs to get their job done right to avoid confusion, I also noticed the portion very small compared to other times ,taste was great , NOT the multiple price confusion and their smaller portions , honestly I was just hungry to go elsewhere, but definitely I won't be back there - I hope this helps someone out there. read more

This is the real thing, everything we tried reminded us of Mexico and how good the food can be! Yummy and authentic

Erica and the team at Taqueria el Tapatio are world class. They understand three simple things for a great lunch spot. Speed, quality, and service. I have an hour lunch. I can eat at tapatio drive back and still have thirty minutes to nap. The quality of the food is amazing. I eat here four out of my five meals a week. The one thing you'll never forget while eating here is the friendly service. They feel like family with an inviting atmosphere and delicious food. Do not miss out. And experience this great hole in the wall spot. read more

Used to be good. $18 only chicken and cheese burrito. Small and terrible chicken. This place is a ripoff. Ill never go again.

The chicken is boiled and it tastes like boiled unflavored chicken. This place has outside seating and it's very small but cute. My husband seems to like it but he doesn't eat chicken so he likes it. Customer service is quick and vey helpful when asking what's good on the menu. 2 stars because the chicken is boiled. read more

The service was very nice, however the menudo gave me food poisoning for about a week. Tasted like it was probably old and the meat was basically all pieces of slimy fat and barely any tripe. I've come here before for burritos and they're good, just pass on their menudo. read more

Consistently delicious and friendly service! My go-to is the veggie taco salad. I haven't found a better one anywhere else in the area. YuM! I recently tried their breakfast burrito and ordered it with "less egg" and I swear each bite was like heaven! They have a salsa bar which is always fun, too. read more

The birria tacos were just okay as was the bean and cheese burrito Big misses The consume for birria taco was very bland. The rice that came with the taquito plate combo was not edible. Do they not have anyone tasting their food? Chicken taquitos were really dry In total spent over $60-which was not worth it- Will definitely not come back again. read more

We came here since we saw they had lengua on the menu! We got Lengua tacos, Al Pastor tacos and Carne Asada Super tacos. The regular tacos comes with onion and cilantro. The Super tacos actually has guac, sour cream and cheese along with the onion and cilantro. The menu needs to be updated since it has the same description for both items. The Al Pastor was delicious, great flavor! They skimped out on the meat for that if you ask me, but probably because it's so good. The Lengua was good too. The Carne Asada as a Super Taco really puts it together. I recommend getting at least 1 Super Taco. They also have a salsa bar with 3 types of salsa, limes and radishes. Love when restaurants have this! read more

Was craving carne asada fries and this spot came up. I usually go to Alfredo's, so I was excited to try it and compare. portion size did not disappoint -- it looks smaller, but they hook it up. the fries are thicker, the added pico really takes it up a notch, and their green salsa ties it all together. I always grab horchata wherever it's available, and this one hit the spot. The staff there is also super friendly! read more

I'm still dreaming of that lengua burrito. The tortilla is thin but still holds all the ingredients well. The meat is in a sauce and not dry. The rice does a great job of holding everything together. Ahhh, until we meet again Tapatío. I'll be dreaming of you. Also, their chips are really good. read more

I recently visited Taqueria El Tapatio. It was an amazing experience! I got a nice welcome from the restaurant owner. She was kind and helpful. The food was perfectly cooked! They offered me complimentary chips and a plethora of salsa. The ambiance is what you would expect but well kept. I will return for more! Enjoy! #jsho read more

Small restaurant serving Mexican food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Typical fare of burritos and tacos. Enjoyed the breakfast burrito which we split between the two of us. Definitely was sufficient to satisfy both our appetites. Prices are pretty reasonable and the food is delicious. Seems mostly like a carry out place although they do have a number of tables inside. No outdoor seating and parking is in a lot shared by several stores read more

I've been going to this place for years now. Last two times I was there, I've been disappointed with their food. It used to be tasty, big portion and great service. I'm not sure if there is a new management or they just changed things up but the burrito was half the size it used to be. They lacked on the ingredients and I felt like I was biting into nothing but plain rolled up tortillas. They hardly put any onions and cilantro too so it lacked flavor. Salsa was watered down with no flavor. This happened last time but I thought it was just that day. I gave it another try and it actually got worse. The price of this sad burrito was $13.45. It's not worth the money. I rather go to a restaurant or a taco stand like tacos el venaydo. read more

Great little locals spot serving traditional Mexican cuisine in a very relaxed atmosphere People are genuine and friendly and the service is good Food is generous and well portioned and delicious The breakfast combination at $12 is a great deal (see pics) as was the Menudo also $12 Fresh salsa bar to help yourself to red green and spicy salsas as well as lime wedges pico degallo & radish slices If you are lucky old mate out back in the kitchen may even serenade the place while he is cooking ! Was kinda nice to listen to while enjoying our brunch and supporting local business Car park out front that you can normally jag a spot in , only down side was no coffee but you can get that right next door from Dads donuts , no bathrooms here so go before you get here or hold it ! Great if you just need a quick bite read more

My job ordered here for lunch today via door dash. The food was amazing. I ordered the 3 enchilada plate with rice and beans and the cheese quesadilla with a large Horchata. I highly recommend this restaurant. The enchiladas were great have a nice kick to it. Not to spicy but just right. The rice and beans were really good as well. The only reason i will give this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because my company ordered 10 dinners, and one dinner was not included in the order. read more

I recently discovered this restaurant in search of carne asada fries. They were generous with the portion size. A few weeks ago I tried their suiza quesadilla and it was also amazing. Service is quick, the food is delicious. The lady upfront is always so nice and friendly! Can't wait to try more from their menu. read more

i placed a pick up order through doordash. doordash said it was confirmed and would take 30 mins even though when i placed the order it said 10-17 minutes... whatever i had some errands to run anyway. i showed up 40 mins later and the lady at the counter ask me what i ordered and starts writing it all down. i'm like.. it's not ready? she says no we'll make it now. i'm like... i ordered this 40 minutes ago? and she says it'll take 5 minutes. anyway im currently sitting here waiting for my order and it's coming up on ten minutes with no apology or even excuse really. read more

Me gustó mucho la comida . El lpastor está muy bueno y el ceviche también . Las cajeras son muy atentas el restaurante muy limpio .

Ugh I gave them another chance ordered on DD because my favorite spots Alfredo's & Casitas aren't available for delivery and UGH. How do they have more than three stars?! Old, bland beans. Bland rice. Flavorless carnitas. Wayyyyy too much onions and cilantro that also tasted old. Paid extra for cheese and sour cream and I couldn't even see it in there. The lack of diversity in Burbank makes its residents think this is good Mexican food. It's actually some of the worst I've had. read more

Plus, you have a variety of different sauces, salsa, etc. I would recommend this place! read more

Still open. A few menu changes Sadly, no potatoes. There just isn't enough room in the small kitchen to keep everything back there. The chairs and tables are all removed for your health. Still a delicious quick bite for torta and tacos. read more

I hope whoever now owns/runs this place sees this because they need to save this place. I've gone here for 8 years and somehow it's taken a big turn in the last year. I could make this much longer but the main thing we've noticed is they barely heat up the food any more . The taco tortillas are barely heated on the griddle and the meat is barely heated up as well. We've had to finish heating up/cooking the food ourselves when we got it home (and we live close by). Please at least have your pay your old cooks come back for a couple days and show the new ones how to cook read more

What a waste of money and drive time over to this place. I got a chicken burrito that was full of hard gritty burnt chicken totally inedible. Fish tacos are white washed with weird gauce sauce. French fries are hard and old. For 56$ I threw most of it away. I would call to complain but they don't give a crap I'm sure. And I don't think I'll ever go back here. The asada burrito was edible but the meat was not very tasty. Nasty. I miss highland park. read more

Love El Tapatío! It's old school Mexican and the food is good! The service is quick and friendly. I always get the lengua burrito because it's somewhat rare to get in Burbank and I love it. It's low key seating, I always get my food to go since I live down the street. Although I've lived in the neighborhood for almost 7 years I only recently discovered it. I come here regularly now. read more

This is my go to burrito spot in town. Food is always consistent, great quality and on point. I always get the super burrito no beans, extra onion and cilantro ! The staff is always super nice and friendly as well. Haven't tried something on their menu I didn't like. 10/10 read more

For a guy that eats Mexican food quite a bit, this place is a hard pass for me. It could've been a bad day, but the quality of food, flavor, taste and freshness were not here or there. The service was just okay. Otherwise - thanks but no thanks; as I prefer my Mexican food (off a truck or at a restaurant) that smacks with flavor, not bland, chewy and rubbery. Note, the ambiance is a hole in the wall vibe in a small strip mall. read more

Good location for quick simple Mexican food. Rice and beans are good and brought me memories of the time I was a cook at a Mexican restaurant. Salsa bar offers you mid to spicy salsa with lime wedges and pickled carrots and jalapeños. Interesting to find potatoes in it. Overall good Mexican food at a reasonable price. Busy for takeout. read more

This place never disappoints! I love their tacos, fresh ingredients, yummy pastor (my fave)! They have a great selection of proteins to choose from. I had their cheese enchilada last week and their super nachos with pastor today. I visit here maybe 3-5 times a month! The salsas are so good, I go with the green salsa since it's the least spiciest. Going to try their hard shell tacos next week. Parking is decent and theirs a great donut shop next door. read more
