Reviews for El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant in Arvada, CO
We had a Saturday afternoon meal. Service was great. I had Spicey Shrimp Tacos and my wife had the Chile Relleno's platter.... Atmosphere is really nice. Food was great and the medium house margaritas are giant!! Read more
Would not recommend going here. Everything we ordered was not good. Everything was so bland. Their Green chile needs some work.... It is so bland it tastes like water. We Ordered fajitas for two Togo and they didn?t give us tortillas. Ordered a smotheredburrito and they did not smother it. The enchiladas we ordered were so bland. I also asked for green sauce on the side and didnot get any. Had to go back to get some and they claimed that they put it in the bag. Would give this place 0 stars if I could Read more
Met a friend around 5:30 for dinner. We had the pick of outdoor seating in the shade with an umbrella. Service was prompt and... attentive. The prices were fair and the food was good. Menu had many choices. Happy hour 1.00 off draft 3-6 M-F Read more
I was taken here with my husband by my brother and sister for dinner when we flew here for visiting, and may I say, it was truly... an unforgettable experience. We were greeted by the owner, and were seated right away with smiles and free flowing freshly madenachos and a superb salsa...Then we had ordered the house-made special with a combination of steak and chicken, and was sodelicious. Their strawberry margaritas were spot on as well. I would like to thank the staff and the owner for the tremendousand warm experience here. Keep up the wonderful work and I hope to someday have the delicious Mexican experience again. Read more
Bland food overall. Chimichanga did not seem to even be fried it was just a soft tortilla. As well as for fajitas plate did not... come out steaming etc as you may typically see as if it had been cooked before and just set on the cast iron. The waitress didnot check in at all throughout the meal till we were essentially done eating. Drinks were strong so one was enough. About halfthe cost of other places so not going all out but it definitely shows in the food quality and flavour. Overall environment wasvery well done interior wise very cozy and not noisy. Read more

If I could give this place no stars, that would be the rating. First off, the service was horrible. We had to wait forever to... get our order taken. I had to wait at least 20 minutes to just get a margarita. Then when our food finally came, my order waswrong. When I told the server this wasn?t right she said I said something else, & acted like she wasn?t going to correct myorder. Girl. I know what I said!!!! It just was not a pleasant experience. The food was gross and the pricing is outrageous forthe service & not authentic food at all. Read more
The food, is good. Where this restaurant fails, is the service, and the blah margaritas. The margaritas fail, big time. I don't... know if they're using the cheapest tequila they can get their hands on, but I've been to other restaurants where you canliterally taste the GOOD tequila, and the price is the same. Service is hit or miss. This place can be empty, and you may stillend up waiting 15-20 minutes to be served. No excuse for that. I've served for years, in establishments that were packed. Betterservice, and way better margaritas are needed here. Read more
