Outside seating, great food, great customer service, and clean atmosphere. We were presented with a small bowl of Charro beans,chips, & chimole. I had the 2 Chile relleno combo which was absolutely satisfying! It came with corn/flour tortillas, rice, beans, & drink all around about $14, so much i had to bring half of it home. A very nice lil gem Upland has. Stop by & try a 🌮 or two (fridays special are tacos)

Don't often give 5 stars but always try to be fair. The service was fantastic. The restaurant wasn't overly crowded. The food was great. I even felt like I got more than I paid for. I don't even know what else to say. If I lived closer, I would always eat here.

New restaurant in town and it’s freaking amazing! 👍🏼 I highly recommend it! The food is good the prices are even better you get a lot of food for your money and the employees are extremely nice and attentive amazing customer service and the owner is very nice and makes sure his costumers are taken care of! I’ll gladly take my money to this place my bf and I will be coming here a few times out of the week so we can try everything! 🐷😊

We finally found a gem! La Tapatio!! It’s tucked next to Marshalls on Foothill and Euclid in Upland. The staff is great and the food is excellent with good prices. Large portions. They always have a special and have a soda machine in the back which is a nice touch when you’d like a refill. Some places charge for that. Try it for yourselves. We don’t want them going anywhere especially since Upland right now needs great restaurants.

Got the Al Pastor Street Taco; something small to tide me over. It came with onions & cilantro...so good by itself! I added their free signature beans, lime, and topatia and super good. Only $3.22 for a great snack!

Loved the service! The chips and salsa were amazing! They were still hot! I ordered the cheese enchilada and fried taco with rice and beans. Great flavors!!! My grandson ordered the Chile Verde burrito and loved it!!!

Their food was so delicious! I ordered from them tonight with a big order it was my first time. The gentleman who took my order was very kind and helpful and the young lady who got my drinks was also kind. The food was awesome we got shrimp enchiladas, green wet burrito, nachos and 5 childrens enchilada meals. The beans and rice was the best I've ever had from a Mexican restaurant. We will be visiting there again!

I ordered steak picado was alittle spicy but delicious. Also tried the chili Verde enchiladas were good. They also serve whole beans with the salsa bar. Great place with great customer service. Will be going back to try other options. Johnny has great service skills and very helpful with menu recommendations.

First time there today, and it was delicious! I got the Mole chicken enchiladas, and I want more already! My wife ordered the shredded beef burrito, it was big, and full of flavor! The street tacos were good too! And a friendly, mindful staff. Thank you, we'll be seeing you again soon!

Had the wet burrito, very delicious, and the homemade beans were perfect just like my mom's, there aguas Fresca was also really good, tho no name tags on the servers, I do like to acknowledge people and there work. Other than that, it's a really great place for a date, or to hang out with friends and in the mood for mexican food

I keep forgetting to take pictures because I'm so hungry. I pray for my food and then dive in! I have to remember to take before pictures and sometimes even during, then maybe even after... The food here was really good, was my 1st time coming here. I had their crunchy chicken tacos with rice and beans... so good...I love crunchy Mexican tacos, it's pretty cool once you walk in you order your food and then you go get your drinks and they bring you your food, the ambience is nice and it's well kept as well...my daughter brought me here... she's been here a couple of times, says she loves it. I definitely will be coming back and we'll take pictures next time!

Good spot. Had a quick lunch combo with a taco and enchilada. Good portions (not too big) and a good price.

I love this place, have for a few years now. This place has a fresh salsa bar and a cauldron of pinto beans waiting for you to fill up on before you even get to your main course. I have had almost everything on the menu and they are all delicious and, made fresh with fresh ingredients. If you drink beer or aquas frescas this is the freshest. My favorite mexican food, at a reasonable price, at least once a week.

DELICIOSO! I accidentally stumbled upon this place when I ran into the Marshall's... it's really well... yummy. Almost as if there's an abuela (grandma) making the food in the kitchen. That's really the best when it tastes home cooked yummy Tacos for the win!

Stopped here for the first time after husband Dr appointment. This restaurant reminds me of Cabo San Lucas. We enjoyed the friendly smiles with a wonderful welcome. The servers were great! They had answers to our questions. Quick service though it was not busy yet. Later after we ate noticed people started coming in. Parking is good, decor was nice with outside seating. Very clean. Self serve beverages area, salsa and beans self serve both area kept clean. Didn't use the restroom though I'm sure it was clean. Lots of seating, tables and seating booths. I would come here next time if we're in the area. The food was excellent which I got the taquito and hubby wet burrito. Delicious! Presentation was nice too!

This was our first time here and it was the right choice. The place was very clean, service from the counter to the waitresses was great. We got our food fast and it was Authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend this place THANK YOU 😊 La Tapatia as the young lady at the counter said the food was “bomb”

Easy to give 5 star here. Carne Asada burrito was exceptional with medium salsa spice from the bar. Atmosphere reminds me of Yucatán style and food also a Caribbean flavor. Really a great burrito. I’m coming back for sure and ordering same. 😋

Que Rico!! This spot is off the chain. First off, the atmosphere is so welcoming it really makes you feel at home. It smells so good right when you walk in, you just feel like you’re in your grandmas kitchen. The staff is kind and attentive and it sort of pours over into the customers I think because everyone inside is just so nice! The complimentary bean soup is delicious and savory with the pork and cilantro, it’s just great. The tacos are good too and so are the crazy fries. I would highly recommend them! Also, the horchata here is some of the best I’ve ever had! Bomb

This is a fasternant (order at the counter and they bring the food to you). They do have a simple salsa bar and self-serve charro beans. Food is decent for a fair price. My family has made it a regular choice for a quick dinner.

Brian Noble

Wonderful place, great decor, it was a little noisy. And there wasn't much in the way of service. It's one step above a fast food joint.

J
Jeryatrix

We tried this place out the other day for lunch. We got some asada street tacos that were decent and shrimp tacos that were pretty good. The service was ok, you have to walk up to the counter for any thing you need. I would consider this a quick lunch place, by no means is this a sit down in a booth traditional mexican dinner restaurant.

If only our burritos were hot it been 5✨️. Ww opened them to add hot sauce right there in their bar. We had to leave if not I'd ask them to re-heat it. You could taste the flavors but cold. It had bacon, potatoes, and cheese. Even the cheese wasn't even partially melted. I'm sure it'd tasted much better 🔥.

I have been here twice with my Mother ( she’s 84 ). She and I both have enjoyed our food each time. My Mom ordered the fish tacos for Lent and was delighted! She finished her whole plate, beans and rice included! My meal was also very good! The Charro BEANS are INCREDIBLE “!! She loves this place so much, I’ll be taking her more often as she doesn’t eat much, but this is the 2nd time I have seen her “clean” her plate!! I believe chips and salsa should be included with a sit down meal, I understand charging for it, but as a GEN x’r, not used to being charged for it. Overall, food was fresh and we will be back!!

Walk in and order at the counter. You'll get a number and you pick your seat. They have margaritas and Aguas frescas. Food was good. I personally didn't find it amazing but it was good enough to come back when your craving some fast Mexican food. I mean this in the nicest way possible, no shade... It reminds me of "Green Burrito" from the 90s when it wasn't so fast foody and stuck to a Carl's junior. A place that everyone visits with quick Mexican favorites. But here you can enjoy a margarita with your plate 😉 🌯🍹 I'll be back, and it's good enough to bring the friends! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

First time...not the Last, perfect little hide a way Restrauant. Very clean place plenty of room,fresh coffee many food options but I chosed the Menudo as you can see,I definitely will be back perhaps the chilaquillas next time.

The food was mid. Pozole was probably reheated, taste was off and made me sick. Not worth the 15$.

Food is fine, service left much to be desired. They ask if you would like chips and salsa with your dinner, when you say yes, they charge you. Really?!? Charge for chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant? They brought our meals separately and didn't bring any salsa. When I asked for some, the server asked what kind and left. I watched the guy deliver two other meals to other tables and never brought my salsa. I walked inside and asked for it from someone else. Don't recommend.

I came here thinking I was going to get a good tasty burrito but as soon as I took a bite grease came pouring out of the burrito and instantly hurt my stomach big disappointment , I’m just gonna throw it away I’m to tired to drive back and complain . Definitely won’t be back here .

K
Kristin Walker

Was very disappointed restaurant prices but fast food service. Food arrived very quick too quick, by the taste I believe that it was pre made and warmed up in a microwave. Did not taste authentic, The beans taste as though they were canned. My boyfriend and I ordered a beef taco and cheese enchilada plate and it was all very very salty. No condiments but napkins on the table. I've never been to a Mexican restaurant where you had to pay for your chips and salsa. Over priced for the quality we left dissatisfied.

j
joseph martinez

My employee’s and myself have been coming here for about two years. They clearly don’t believe in customer service anymore! Claudia was incredibly disrespectful when bringing the food and felt her attitude was justified based on the type of restaurant it is. There was no manager on duty so there was no one to talk to. Claudia just said I can talk to her manager Tiffany tomorrow if I want to. We should not have this kind of experience when having lunch. We will find someplace that values their customers, especially long term ones. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants in the area.

Paul Stella

This used to be our favorite Mexican restaurant however ordered some al pastor street tacos and was filled with nothing but inedible fat. Nothing was there that resembled marinated pork. One of the most disgusting food experiences I have ever had. Also their ground beef enchiladas and soup are always cold. If you order take out just be prepared to reheat these items in your microwave. We won’t be going back. Maybe we’ll give them a chance in the future but the experience of biting into nothing but fat filled street tacos almost brought me to the point of vomiting. If you decide to go there always, always, always double and triple check your food quality.
