When You Are Willing To Drive 2 States Away For Lunch, This Is Well Worth The Trip! The Prices Are Incredible, But Not As Incredible As The Food! ¡Auténtica comida mexicana que puede calentar tu corazón y tu estómago!
I thought this place was great. The food was good, the service was good and their salsa is amazing. If I'm ever back in the area I'll definitely be stopping back in!!!!!
We were driving back from Bend, OR, and I was craving a tasty burrito. Looked up, mexican food places near me, and found this gem, was on our way back home. I ordered a Carne asada burrito, requested to add cheese, and extra rice. The beef is so tender and well seasoned, the salsa has a wonderful, subtle, delicious kick to it. Soooooo goood, it hit the spot, and it was delicous too!! Super fast friendly service, to go.
Me and my soccer team came here after a game and this place is amazing, staff is super nice and the food is just amazing. Good prices too.
Delicious food with friendly and kind service. Found this little hidden gem right outside of Oregon entering California. I had the flautas and my husband had Chile Relleno.
Only restaurant left in Dorris. Great food and very hospitable :)
Good food nice people and a few places to park a commercial truck and trailer.
OMG! The food was amazingly delicious. Authentic Mexican. Wish I lived nearby instead of 8hrs away, I'd go there all the time.
Service was a little slow but the food was good and the price a lot more reasonable than in the city. Carne Ranchero was delicious and so too the homemade tortillas.
Home made setting and home made tasty food, classic mexican menudo and other dishes that will leave a good taste in your mouth. They take debit and credit.
So FREAKIN GOOD!!!!! It looks like a stomach ache when you pull up but it's the best Mexican food you'll have. If your goin thru dorris you have to stop on in. If you don't your seriously missing out.
Best burrito in the county! I was honestly shocked at how good it was and so reasonably priced! Will definitely be returning.
Delicious food , fast great prices
Surprised by the fresh, excellent and also very affordable Mexican food !! Was really tasty and mouthwatering.
Good food, great service, very relaxing atmosphere.
Finally got to try this place out food was good owners daughter was very friendly would highly recommend this place if you love that authentic Mexican style food.
I don't know where to begin with El Tapatio. really friendly and great service. chips and salsa were delicious. for the first time at a restaurant I got more than what I paid for. truck parking. I love it! will stop more often.
The girl at the counter was very friendly and the carne asada burrito was great! I don't know who they have working in the kitchen, but the food was definitely authentic.

It's a small town. But don't pass up this gem. Food is fresh, hot and delicious. Very friendly and very cheap. So worth the stop!
Great food, quick service and great prices! Stopped here with our RV. Easy parking.
We had been driving since super early morning. We saw this place driving through Dorris and we decided to stop for breakfast. We got chilaquiles, a chorizo and egg burrito, and a pork torta. The food was bomb! The people were super friendly and hard working. Stop here if you're ever in the area.
Place looks a little rundown but the food is delicious. I got Asada sopes, they hit the spot. Meat was juicy and tender and it was loaded with beans. Will Stop here every time i pass thru here.

Nice customer skills very nice environment food was excellent. I and my husband had 1/2 quesadillas beef and also enchiladas with beans and rice on the side.
The food was good I had a asda plate witch had beans rice and hand made tortillas the people were very nice will go there again and they have Simi truck parking
Great service. We grabbed our burritos to go before heading out to camp at Fraine Ranch to raft the upper Klamath.
A great little place off the normal beaten path to get some great Mexican foods. I had a wet chicken burrito and my wife had chile relleno both of them were very good. The red sauce on the wet burrito was really tasty with just the right amount of spice. The chile relleno was full of the right balance of cheese and pepper that made good comfort food. Looking forward to going back and trying more on the menu.
This place is old and I've been passing by for many, many years. Finally stopped on my way back to California and I'm glad I did. The food and service make up for the outdated decor. When passing through Dorris, CA, be sure to stop at least once. You won't be sorry.👍
Foods good. Staff are friendly. Truck parking available. Fresh tacos. They serve beer n wine, got a pool table.
I got 2 enchiladas de Pollo (chicken) And 1 Sope de Pollo (chicken) For $8.00 ☺ Was passing through and thankful I stopped Food had good flavor. Could've added a bit more seasoning but honestly the salsa brought it all together at the end
Best find...GREAT EXPERIENCE... Was on a mission after working sever days in the area yet wanted to seek out new findings,along with a few too many left turns til WahLah found this place.... The surrounding area doesn’t have much selections and good food is always miles away... An how can u go wrong with simple street taco style an sopes for a main test... My friend ordered the asada soft taco’s aswell,said it was a life saver since we had a tough day of work an didn’t want to cook either... Most definitely had to bookmark as a favorite place... Server was really chill an helped with making sure out order was right... Over all had a great experience during my visit look forward to coming back several times over...

The grilled chicken has really good flavor and texture. Big portions. Fair prices. I could've used some more vegtables to dress it up with. Friendly owners. Quick service. You can dine in here right now. No cerveza though.
If the service was more friendly it would get 5 stars. I stop here every week on my way through town. They have some great Mexican food. It has always been cooked fresh so I am not sure how pwople claim to get cold food. I look forward to stopping here.
The food was ok but all I ordered was a couple of tacos. The restaurant itself needs a lot of attention, the place was pretty busy so that says a lot for the food .

Wasn't my favorite place but that's just me.
To long of a wait. Left the place after noticing the custumers ahead of us have not received their food yet. They need more or faster personnel.
Food was good especially when it arrived warm. Mine was warm my husband's was cool., probably because the young waitress/greeter was more interested in flirting with all the young men. Place is run down and needs some good old fashion elbow grease!

I order a carne asada plate. The meat was hard and no flavor. The rice was old, and i never got water only the soda and the waitress never checked once if i needed anything or if it was ok, i was the only customer there.First time ever stopped there and last.
I want to go get food one time and when I got there one of the One of the waitress. Had no shoes on sitting in the chair with a blanket with her feet on the heater that is just disgusting and. I was ordering my food for my family after I ordered one plate she asked and said is that all in the rude voice and I wouldn't go back there for anything ever again because of service is just terrible
The food was dry and it tasted alright? The sauce was on the table with out a lid and had a crust built up on it the roll of papaer towels were an added bonus the the grungy feeling of the place not to mention the fact that the owner was sotting at a table and playing parts of music on her cell phone
Waited over a half hour (restaurant was completely dead just me and a ton of files inside) for one of the worst burritos I’ve ever had. Highly recommend any gas station heat lamp food over this place
Went here once and the food is great. The problem is I went back walked in and waited ten munites and still hadent't had my order taken. They looked at me and knew I was there but kept going about their business in the back, so I took off. With a half hour lunch break if you haven't even had your order taken at ten munites you need to cut your losses. I figured they were busy so I gave them another try. Went back same exact thing waited ten minutes still haven't had my order taken. I give up I will not be returning. The second time I was the only person in the restaurant I guess they don't want my business.
Id give this a 0 star if that was possible this is one of the worst places my significant other and I have ever ate at we tried to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt the 1st time but the 2nd time was even worse we will never go to that restaurant Not only were they out of a lot of the necessity for the dishes they were offering and overpriced , the food was cold and it was very poorly wrapped. The 1st time we Asked them to put no sauce on the burrito of course they put in on even more prominently the 2nd visit we asked for no salsa and guacamole, we recieved the burrito kinda soggy with no guacamole. when I brought it to their attention they informed us they do not offer that side but they could give me a side of avocado slices for 5$. That's extremely obsered!! How does this place survive with such a flaky foundation and lack of great customer service. What Mexican restaurant doesn't offer guacamole or horchata on the menu isnt that a Mexican restaurant must ? I'm sorry we gave this busines two different way over priced times and they didn't improve in the pro quality or the poor customer service. hopefully you guys step up your game before youll have to close your doors.
Horrible service. Place is not very clean. Food is tasteless. Broken plates and mugs hold bacteria. If you need food poisoning, this is your place to go.

Good food,fast service, friendly employees. They keep changing the people in the front. Like the lady that cooks daughter last couple of times I had been in there where very rude. My order was burnt a little. Take a fly swatter with you flies in the restaurant. Everytime l have ordered the couple times had no flavor. There's a guy who takes your order and you have to repeat it 2 or 3 times. The floors are dirty. Seems like this place has gone down a little. Liked it when first went in there.
