Taqueria El Tapatio

UPDATE: got the newly offered birria burrito, which was delicious! One hell of a mess to eat it but much better flavor. The **quantity** of food you get is excellent for the price you pay. I was pretty surprised by the underwhelming flavor, though. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good, either. Just ok. I got the Al Pastor super burrito. The salsa bar is just ok, too. Seats in the restaurants are kinda dirty. I’ll give it another try sometime, but with lower expectations.

The service was friendly, and the super Carnitas burrito was absolutely exquisitely amazing. I wish I knew about this place sooner, because it is superior to another place. I’ve been going to locally.

I had a soaked torta stuffed with carnitas. It was flavorful but light on the meat. My friend loved the chili verde plate.

If you're unsure about what to get, ask for the crispy (shredded chicken) tacos. They are amazing! Truly a 10/10 food once you drench them in your favorite salsa. My friend and I keep coming back over and over because we can't stop thinking about them! They taste just like my grandma's cooking straight from her kitchen in Guadalajara. What makes the crispy tacos here so good is that every ingredient, flavor and texture comes together beautifully to form such a perfect, wonderful gestalt. The meats here are never gristly and are perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The tortilla is fried in such a way that the shell never falls apart or breaks! The shell holds its structural integrity every single time, down to the last bite. The vegetables like shredded lettuce and dice

Fantastic food. I come here often. They're super consistent in quality and always friendly. The recipes here are perfect: food is always salted just right and the ingredients are bright and fresh. The owner really takes pride in his food and it shows. I'm addicted to the crispy tacos there. They're really really good. Almost exactly like they taste in Mexico.
