What an amazing place for this very tasty services it's good I wish it was just a little bit more clean read more

El Tapatio is a great restaurant I wish it was a little bit more clean when the cook is cooking with no gloves, but overall very tasty. The people are nice. read more

The service was nice. The Mexican burrito was fair, they did not provide chips as he stated . The Carne asada was tough but the pork tacos taste best. I would return for the pork but, make sure to check my food before I leave. read more

The tacos meal is really good and filling and get it with a coke it's so good! I am a big fan and will be back I love the fact it's get your own chips and salsa on side and also the staff is good read more

good food and service. birria tacos are a must. very well appointed restaurant. cheese enchiladas with rice and beans done very well.

En estos tiempos, a mí no me molesta pagar bien por un buen plato de comida, pero en este lugar ordenamos dos tortas de carnitas, el pan estaba quemado y las carnitas secas de recocidas. Creo que al muchacho no le pareció que yo no dejara propina, se me hizo alto el precio Por eso no di propina, además era drive-through No se los recomiendo read more

A fresh quick taco fix, good salsa and service. Beans are fresh from pot. Had a taco and bean and cheese burrito

Food may be okay; I haven't been to Taqueria El Tapatio for a while, and won't for another long while after encountering their supply drivers on the streets. Whoever brought supplies to the restaurant this morning driving a black Denali pickup needs to learn how to drive safely and courteously. Gave me such a bad impression that I'll gladly give my business to the other Mexican food restaurants in the area. Ironically, all of passing on the right and speeding didn't get him there any faster than me and everyone else who drove responsibly. LOL read more

Ordered the breakfast burrito with egg and bacon and was very disappointed. The bacon was undercooked, it was gray and soggy and the eggs were burnt. Overall the food was bland. I couldn't even get past the first bite. Do not recommend. read more

The El Tapatio's of the valley are staples.. These places are amazing. For any anyone that's left a bad review., Good that's one less person I have to wait in line for. Nice and convenient parking .There's a liquor store next-door. You can get a drink of your choice. I like to mix a Red Bull and their cantaloupe juice. Amazing Breakfast burrito, chorizo, egg all the way. read more

I picked up. I was told they would charge me extra for beans and cheese which I was okay with but I asked for no rice. I also asked for NO sour cream "crema" on the super nachos! Ana what did I get? Crema! Oh and when I paid I was asked if I wanted to leave a tip? I'm in the drive through. I asked do you have a 10% all he did was hand me my food. I was told no 15% and up! I agreed to 15%! If you are going to ask for a tip! The order should be perfect! FEELING ANNOYED! the kid was polite tho. read more

Taqueria El Tapatio - Super nachos and my husband has to dig around the crema. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I used to love this place. While the customer service is still great, the quality and price of the food have declined. I paid nearly $20 for a shrimp cocktail that came with overcooked, tiny shrimp and an excessive amount of sauce, leaving very little else on the plate. It was awful. Additionally, the menu is difficult to read due to sun damage. read more

Food quality has drastically changed for the worse. Ordered nachos with chicken: chicken was dry, amount of nachos given in the order was minimal (this is a nachos entree mind you) Total portion for the order did not even fill the styrofoam. $15.00 for dry chicken and literally a handful of nachos is ridiculous! Used to be a regular customer to support neighborhood businesses but have vowed NOT to support this business again. read more

Love this place. I've been going here pretty much weekly for a year. I always get a carne asada burrito with lots of green salsa. So good, and I could really go for one now, just thinking about it. As far as amenities, there's nothing but a kitchen. Grab the food and go! read more

Convenient drive thru and fast service. I got the carne asada burrito. It was so good! Good size, filling and flavorful.

Ordered some take out from here for dinner tonight! I got a Pastor Burrito it was delicious the meat was so juicy and it was filled with rice and beans and guacamole and salsa! So good! Although I feel like I may have gotten just regular asada rather than pastor but no big deal. It was still very good! Highly recommend!!!!!!! read more

This is our go to for great food and customer service. What I would recommend is anything as it's all good. Enjoy

We have been coming here for years and have enjoyed their food. However, the last 2 times we ordered pastor breakfast burritos and they were extremely greasy and soggy. We ate a small portion of them and threw the rest into the garbage. I don't understand what's going on there but a break from this place is in order. read more

One of those hidden gems in the valley. The food is amazing, very authentic and the service is fast. The ceviche is the best!

We were having a picnic at the park and hired Taqueria El Tapatio! The food was made fresh right in front of us. Everyone loved it!! read more

Taqueria El Tapatio - Our 2 cooks!! - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

El Tapatio is one of those authentic hole-in-the-wall restaurants that gives my hometown character. Even the menu is in Spanish, which comes with accompanying photos. I also love the covered outdoor dining area, which even includes an antique of a television. We were able to feed both of us for around $18, which is pretty good for LA. At this price point, I acknowledge that there's no way the restaurant can procure high-quality cuts of meats without having to take a loss, so it wasn't a surprise that the chicken in our tacos and burrito were dry, chewy, and a bit flavorless this time around. We've been here before a couple of years back, and the meat was better seasoned last time. Perhaps this time we came on an off-day. It was a filling meal, so that makes it A-OK in my book. read more

I got a pastor burrito and an agua de melon at lunch, it was quick and easy. They have a drive through set up too. The melon was great, not too sweet. The hochata was good but more on the creamy side, and I didn't taste any cinnamon. The pastor was great and the burrito is a pretty good size for 10.79. The large drink is a 32 oz. I think and cost 3.58. read more

great food and great service recommend 10/10!!! delicious and cheap!! i found my new spot!

Juan Carlos and Ariel have been so amazing...they deserve a raise. I am a new regular who needs her veggie burrito almost twice a week. Thanks guys.... That shrimp burrito is probably the best I've ever tasted too! :) highly recommend this place to anyone who wants REAL Mexican food . read more

This place is a hole in the wall. I have driven by before and thought it's either gonna be really good or really bad. Today my daughter, her friend and I stopped by. Lots of parking. You can drive up and order at a window or park and walk up to a separate window. We ordered chicken nachos, beef taquitos, and a carnitas burrito. We ordered the food to go. Service was fast and friendly. We got our food and drove home. When we got home my daughter raved about the chicken on the nachos. I tried the chicken and it was really good. Seasoned well, grilled but not over cooked and dry. The taquitos were wrapped separately from the rest of the dish. They packed rice, beans sour cream and guacamole in a to go container and the taquitos were wrapped in foil so the remained warm and crispy when we got home. That was a quality move. No soggy food!!! That was greatly appreciated. I had the burrito and the carnitas were legit. Crispy pieces and tender pieces, everything was seasoned perfectly and consistently. The rice and beans had great flavor on their own. The salsa and onions added a nice touch. The salsa verde was the bomb, not too spicy but great flavor. A great meal and we will definitely be back. read more

Taqueria El Tapatio - Chicken nachos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cashier stole from me, wish I could leave zero stars. I with I could even tell you what the food tastes like but the cashier gave my food to her buddies read more

Came here for lunch, I spent about 32 dollars for two plates. One chicken and the other one was carne asada plate. They took almost 30'mins to make it while I saw the drive thru orders going by faster, so maybe order through the drive tru if you come here. Food was meh! I only ate it because I was hungry and I paid for it. I should have just gone to little cesars or Taco Bell across the street for a mere fraction of the cost with better tasting food. Carne asada plate was wack! I wouldn't recommend eating here. read more

Taqueria El Tapatio - Carne asada plate, dry meat. Not even cooked onions almost raw. Hot sauce, tasted like water, no spicy in it. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Don't let the outside fool you. This place is great! I wasn't to sure about eating a burrito out here, but I'm glad I did. Very authentic Mexican food. I like that my steak was a little crisp, and the staff was very friendly. Their drive through is also creative. I will come back here when ever I'm in the area. read more

Spicy pork taco was tender and flavorful. Decent prices with a good amount of meat in the tacos. Fast service and good price.

Bad...........................won't be back. Beef is very chewy, seems not fresh. Prices on a bit high side. read more

Taqueria El Tapatio - Two tacos combo. Not so good! - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Okay, so I did not know that el Tap opened a secondary restaurant on saticoy and fallbrook. The same food & pricing, but without indoor seating. I got the pastor burrito combo which came with a medium soda of your choice. The price is really good at $6.78. No complaints about the price at all. If I was to rate el tap in comparison to other Mexican restaurants, is it a 3 out of 5 stars. The burrito is always good but the chips & salsa are generic. I sometimes even get a bag of chips that are undercooked and taste horrible. El tap is a cheap Mexican restaurant that I enjoy going to for a greasy burrito that I might regret later on lol. I think the 3 star is mainly for the little things. I know the chicken & steak are both subpar as well. I would not come here if it was for the spicy pork ( pastor) meat option. Hoping my review helped you on your food adventures. Hope you enjoyed the review & be sure to complement the review if you liked it :D read more

Taqueria El Tapatio - Wow! I can't believe they opened a second place, so close to me now! - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is great. Wonderful service and food. We were able to place a phone order and pick up thanks to the help of the Yelp photos of the menu. There was a helpful young lady who helped us on the phone and during pick up. I ordered the carne asada burrito which was a really decent size. Exactly what I wanted. Beans, rice, carne asada. Boyfriend ordered a bunch of tacos. Loved their green sauce. Will make sure to ask for more of that! We enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back for more. read more

Hmmmmmmm the least to say I've had better! Ive bought there breakfast burritos, asada burritos, tacos etc and im not a huge fan to say!! I must say the tapatío on victory blvd is hands down so much better and so much flavorful!! I feel like this is a good place to go if ur in a rush to get ur food they are very fast and have a drive through. If im in a rush and need Mexican food fast ill be here again otherwise. I will pass. Ps. Please make the salsas less sour and more spicy read more

Food is always good here! Good prices!! Love their rice and enchilada plate!! Enchiladas with chicken are soo good!! Must try! Tacos and Tostada Salad is also worth mentioning.... if you don't like waiting in line to order, like me. Just call ahead place your order and pick up and pay! Makes it a lot more enjoyable =] read more

What the h*ll! Seriously, how do you screw up taquitos? I'll tell you how, you bake not fry them, use stale tortillas, and then you substitute overcooked carnitas for the steak that was ordered. Then you serve everything cold. We spent over $25 for lunch that wasn't fit for the garbage. You guys are seriously slacking. Step up your game or don't serve taquitos. Stick to tacos and enchiladas. Very disappointed. read more

these are the homies, if you know you know, good food, good service, solid deal for the amount of food you get

Amazing food great customer service! Hot all the time, huge portions, consistently flavorful. A must visit!! It's the little things that make a big difference. Chris bring up the Carnitas iMac laptop, flavorful salsas, even the little things like sliced radishes are super fresh. The young man behind the register is always courteous and and kind. Anyone that has an issue with the time should realize that good food takes time to make your experience one that is so good you keep coming back. As for the prices seriously? Prices are just right for the amount of meat that they feel they're delicious tacos and burritos with. So if anyone is complaining about food taking too long or it being over priced there's a Taco Bell right across the street. But I wouldn't recommend it is this place has separated itself from all the rest of the Taquerias. read more

This place is the best. Little hole in the wall with To go capabilities only unless you want to sit outside on a little area they have set up. The tacos are seriously amazing. The asada is great and all the other kinds are very good but the shiny star is the carnitas taco . The Carnitas is just amazing and their red sauce is on point, spicy flavorful but not over the top. Very glad I found this hidden gem read more

Ok es la cuarta vez que mi esposo va y compra aquí en este local y es pésimo el servicio que le dan a él, el perfectamente está ordenando en español ya que no sabe mucho español pero es muy entendible lo que él quiere!!, siempre pide su burrito con guac y NO frijoles, los muchachos siempre están usando audífonos y están tomando tu orden, cuando yo voy me dan un excelente servicio pero cuando el va lo tratan de lo peor y le dan la comida como ellos quieren, ya que hoy fue a comprar y siempre le dan todo mal, mi esposo está harto de que no pueda disfrutar de su comida bien ya que el y yo sabemos que el local y la comida es muy buena, pero tienen que ser más atentos con lo que uno pide! Y repetir la orden! Nunca has fila en el local, nunca pedimos más, esperamos tranquilamente siempre, pero es muy injusto que cada vez que mi esposo va a comprar aquí le den la comida mal, por favor mejoren ese servicio, la comida es muy buena pero tienen que poner más atención con lo que el cliente quiere!! read more
