Reviews for El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant in Brandon, SD

Went for lunch and it was okay-ish. Nothing special, most things tasted the same and overall not a lot of flavor, seasoning... or even salt. The waitress was kind but there was a lot of very, very loud talking by staff, mostly in Spanish which is finebut REALLY loud. Made us feel like we were just in the way overall or an inconvenience.

So.... I was actually really worried about walking in to eat at this Place but In actuality it was Really good. Went with a... party of 8 people and all the food was Good! (Had Horchata, It wasn't the best for me) Read more

Very disappointed in the taste. If bland food is your thing then this is your place. Pretty sure the chicken is boiled with no... flavor at all, by far the worst tasting Mexican food I?ve had. Rice tasted like plain white rice. I?d rather go to chipotle andget better flavor in my food. I?m shocked by the great reviews, and that this place stays busy. Read more

I really want to like this place because it's by far the closest Mexican restaurant to my house, but I just can't. It's not... outright bad, just consistently underwhelming. The food has ranged from sub-par to fairly good and the service has ranged frompoor to average. The dishes are palatable but pretty uninspiring and lacking any real flavor. Read more

The food and drinks were excellent. The staff was very attentive to the details and our needs.

If I could do zero stars I would. Absolutely disgusting example of Mexican cuisine. Taco shells were soaking wet and fell apart... just trying to pick one up. Rice dry and flavorless. Service about the same?. Had to ask for silverware and refills on water. Iwouldn?t let my dog eat here. Read more

Typical Mexican food. No bells and whistles, nothing special, but decent food. I ordered a side of rice and it was over cooked,... cold, and stuck together. One bite and I was done with it. It was early in the day, so maybe lunch isn't the best time to go,but I am from our of town. Read more
