Tapatio Mexican Restaurant - Renton

Tapatio Mexican Grill never disappoints. The menu, food and drinks are always excellent. The freshly baked chips and salsa are delicious. We have been coming to Tapatio for years, both with and without our children. How often the case, during this meal we met several friends that we did not often see enough and enjoyed to catch up. We all agreed that Tapatio is really the best neighborhood restaurant to enjoy a meal and reconnect with family, friends and community. Tapatio is a long favorite place to eat.

Currently living in San Diego, where delicious authentic Mexican foods accumulate, I am on the constant hunt to find it where I go. Tapatio Mexican Grill meets the task. The Guadalajara enchiladas with house made corn tortillas were fantastic. Beans (both black and red) and rice were delicious a must for authenticity.

This is a newly discovered jewel. We came many years ago, but it's a bit far from home. After the Mexican restaurants in the highlands were a bit boring, we decided to go back. So glad we did. My brother had Carne asada fajitas. He loved her and said the onion was perfectly cooked and the beef was tasteful and well seasoned. I had Carnitas Tacos. They were pretty good, but a little too much tortilla. They were doubled, but very thick. Good texture and taste and I think they are homemade. The pork roast was delicious and I would try something else with the pork. The atmosphere is bright, clean and the dinning room is large and good with stands and table and chair options, as well as outdoor seats. The service is excellent, server friendly and professional. Both times that we have recently come has been for lunch.

This is a great classic sitting Mexican restaurant. Chips and salsa are great and the menu is delicious classic Mexican options. The carne is particularly amazing.

Not authentic mexican, but nothing in the PNW is really. I give this place low marks for several reasons. While a few people saw me when I arrived, it took almost 5 minutes to ask me how they could help me and when I asked for a table, he saw trapped by the guard. Why would I be there?!? Once sitting, it took forever for someone to take my order. When ordering my choices, it was like my server tried to tell me when what I wanted to calculate $10 extra for Carne and Carnitas. The food was beautifully presented. But it is the place of frozen peas and carrots in rice... The rice was seasoned, but the beans were beans. The Enchiladas I ordered were forgotten. The Carnitas were too fat and the carne was dry. I paid $36 for my meal (diet coke). My advice, don't waste your time or money.
