Love the place used to go to the Salmon Creek branch, and have been to this one in the past as well with family, if you want real genuine good quality Mexican food come here. Great customer service our waiter was awesome maybe include some nametags though?? I personally like a place that you can great your waiter or someone giving you customer service because it makes it more personable on both sides. This time around I got Chicken en Mole asked for it to be spicy, which was 🔥🔥🔥, and my fiance got the Nachos, will definitely love recommend to family members and friends. I love this place and I love supporting local resteraunts especially if their top notch.

Whenever I'm anywhere near this place I try and stop in. I think the food is excellant and they have a large menu with a lot of variety. Their lunch menu has lots of options at a reasonable prices.

The food here is good. I'm not Mexican, so maybe my palate needs adjusting. But every time I've come here (about four or five times), the food has been to my liking. And I like the chips and salsa, although they are nothing to write home about.The interior is clean and the atmosphere is festive. I can't say for sure because I haven't been to Mexico in quite some time (like 40 years), but it sure feels like I'm in Mexico once I get inside. The building is dated, but even so, the bathrooms are nice and clean, albeit very small. And for the life of me, I could not find the light switch. And the door kept shutting on me leaving me in the pitch black.Service was excellent. We didn't even have to wait five minutes for meals. And our waiter was very attentive to our needs throughout our meal. I even forgot my take-home box and somebody ran it out to the car.Overall I recommend El Tapitio.

Delicious Mexican classics in large proportion; consistently lacking in simple flavors like salt, but reliably well made.Margarita Perfectas are the way to go; though the Salmon Creek location also does spicy margaritas, which are my personal fave.

Good food, just a little pricey, but the portion sizes are generous.

I have been eating here for over twenty years, since I was a young girl. Every time I feel welcomed and like family. Their food is always good, their margaritas strong, and always so sweet. Their enchiladas are a comfort go to. Definitely worth it.
Michelle Featherby
Good food and good service. Great margarita of many flavors. And the BEST chips & salsa in town. Worth going just for that.

The portion sizes are HUGE, so expect leftovers. It is a busy restaurant and I can see why because the food is delicious. I am new to the area, but their food is really good and I highly recommend it. It is as close to authentic Mexican food as you can get. The servers are nice, however they look worn thin and understaff for the amount of customers they get. Maybe it is because I came in on a busy Saturday night.

Becky Watkins

Shawn Draper
Great service excellent food, I will eat there again.

Great variety of food. Excellent staff, always friendly and fast. If you like strong drinks, this may be your place. They are very accommodating for special sides or changes off the menu, which is filled with a large variety. They offer different lunch and dinner specials daily. Thumbs up for one of my favorite restaurants. They have single restrooms, in other words, one at a time.Parking can be a problem if you are towing a trailer, they share the lot with stores and a gas station.
Taylor Rabe
My best friend and I would always come here and have lunch dates. The staff is super friendly and the portions are huge.

This place is the best been coming here since i was a kid with my family now i come with my family. Food is excellent. I have never been disappointed.
Claire Schmidt
This place was great. We were a little wary due to the 3 star rating but it was very close to our house so we gave it a shot. I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised. Good atmosphere. Plenty of booths (I love booths). They provided free chips and salsa, which were delicious. When we demolished the salsa, they immediately brought more. I had horchata, which is hit or miss, some restaurants do it really well and some don't. This was good. I ordered the #17, Enchilada, Tamale, and Chile relleno. The food came surprisingly quickly and it was all super tasty. The waiter was extremely nice and polite. All in all, it was very satisfying experience. I would recommend it, and I will definitely be returning.

I really enjoyed their food. I always get good service there. The place is well organised and the employees are always very nice. Will come visit again.
Tony Horvath
Great food and service. Definitely won't walk away hungry.
Connie Kuhn
Decent food for decent prices. This is not gourmet but you get all the standard type Mexican food. Huge portions so good value for your money. Drinks are varied and enjoyable. I come here when it just needs to be no frill food.
Kristine Metcalfe
The food had great flavor. However the salsa was very mild. I like some kick to it. There was a good amount of yellow cheese. The service was very friendly.
Juli Crewdson
My husband and I used to go here years ago when we lived nearby. We were in the area recently and stopped in for dinner. The food was delicious - they still have the best fajitas, good serving sizes, good atmosphere and great service! Love this place!

Good food, big portions and reasonably priced.
Dave Lyric Gonzales
Very nice place. The music is low in the background so you can actually have a conversation with your dinner partners. Friendly staff and good food make this a family favorite.
Elizabeth Atkinson
Friendly service, large portions...all "yellow" cheese in my dish, tamale, enchilada, chili relleno...taste was ok but not much variety to it.
