Kids weren't hungry for anything so husband and I each ordered a couple tacos to hold us over and…read morewere pleasantly surprised to find that the tacos (lengua, and I believe al pastor ...or carnitas - I've forgotten and it was yesterday lol) were pretty darn good and the salsas (green and red) were both delicious. The only issue was that it took 20 minutes for them to come out - and this was supposed to be a quick stop! Maybe they just opened, I don't know. But locals said you won't regret it, and they were right. No regrets. Yummy tacos! Hit the spot!

Such a gem! I would definitely return in the near future…read more The server was attentive and friendly. Quick service for food too. We ordered a margarita, chips and guac, fish tacos, and the vegan burrito. The restaurant offers vegan soyrizo! So I highly recommend for any vegans or vegetarians seeking tacos or burritos. I really enjoyed the portion size and thought that the food was affordable. The restaurant gives retro diner vibes especially with the booths.

We had a wonderful family lunch at El Tapatio and will definitely be back!…read more I ordered the tostada, and it was absolutely delicious. I especially loved the fresh radishes and cucumber garnish, a refreshing touch. My son ordered the Colorado Burrito with shredded beef, his girlfriend had the Super Burrito, and my granddaughter enjoyed a taco with the two-enchilada combination. Everything looked fantastic. The menu is huge, with so many tempting choices that it was hard to decide. I originally planned on ordering the chile relleno but decided to try something different this time, and I'm glad I did. The complimentary chips came with two different salsas, and both were excellent. One salsa had mushrooms, onions, and what I believe were tomatillos, giving it a unique flavor that was absolutely delicious. It was a nice change from the typical restaurant salsa. One thing worth mentioning is the portion sizes. The burritos are enormous and could easily be shared between two people while still leaving everyone satisfied. We were seated in a booth overlooking the Columbia River, which made for a beautiful setting and added to the experience. A few minor drawbacks: Because it was a warm day, the doors were left open, and there were quite a few flies near the entrance and inside the restaurant. None bothered us where we were seated, but it was noticeable when entering. Parking can also be a little tight, especially if you drive a larger vehicle. There is one handicap parking space near the entrance. Families with young children should also be aware that the stairs to the lower level are directly in front of the entrance without a gate or barrier, so it's something to keep an eye on. Overall, the excellent food, generous portions, friendly atmosphere, and beautiful river view far outweighed those small concerns. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

What I do know is that the only other place I've tasted it this good was Mexico. It's incredibly rich, savory, fatty, toothsome, and browned, with a deep flavor I can only describe as the equivalent of "wok hei", or, "breath of the wok" - the Cantonese way to describe the taste of the skillful, perfect cooking method itself. The other food we had was good, but the carne asada is truly exceptional, clearly the best in Clatsop County by a large margin. Visit this place and get a carne asada burrito - it'll make a believer out of you in one bite.
