I enjoy the food and the staff at El Tapatio. The salsa and chips before a meal are delicious. I especially enjoy a very simple dish of three shrimp tacos a la carte. I add cilantro and onions and drizzle lime on them. Exceptionally good.

The food was good but too much grease. The service was slow but they were busy.

Ordered steak fajitas with a medium top shelf skinny margaritas (which is huge). The food lacked flavored but they had home made corn tortillas. And while the margaritas was big I'm guessing the large qaunity of liquid drowned out the taste of tequila. The place itself was nice. The booth was comfortable and the staff were friendly.

The food here is amazing, Service is good, Atmosphere is good. The place is always clean. It is a small place, pretty crowded for lunch and dinner. But I prefer this location to the Grand Ave. location that is bigger. I suggest you try the quesadilla, it is my go to and I love it. So much food for the price. Highly recommended.

The staff was friendly and professional, the food came out really quick and it was good. The place was clean and it had a real Mexican look and feel to it. I recommend El Tapatio.

I'm a little confused about what happened. I went with a group. The server was nice and attentive, but only a few of us got what we ordered. The food we got was ok, just not what we ordered. The price was fine.

Lots of good restaurants in Gainesville, while the atmosphere here was fun, the food was just so so. The chips we're good though.

Reposted because the owners think it's okay to delete my review. First one got 1000 views and I suppose they didn't like that. We came to have a nice family lunch and that is NOT what happened. My fiancé bit into to his quesadilla and pulled out a lovely napkin. The wait staff was very kind during this situation. The manager however was not. He proceeded to try and blame my fiancé and say he stuck the napkin in the food. Everyone at the table witnessed him bite into the food and pull it out with his teeth. Very disappointed and disgusted with this service. Absolutely will not be returning.

I usually give places three chances. This was strike 3. The worst service I've ever had. Mediocre food at best, and laughable portions of guac and sour cream. Literally less than a teaspoon of each. "Giant" burrito was anything but. According to the menu the burrito should have been filled with meat, rice, and beans. Mine was mostly beans, no rice, and very little meat Very flat and on a soggy tortilla. We saw our waitress twice. Once when we ordered and once when the food was brought out. No follow ups, no refills, no service whatsoever. A guy (not the waitress) brought the ticket out and handed it directly to my husband and walked off. Didn't say a word. Highly, highly disappointed in the food and service, - with service being the worst. Will not be back. (Picture with sweet n low packet for scale) - Gainesville, TX I-35 location
