El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant in Denison

Hot plate not so hot food

They have the best salsa, fast service and great prices.

I usually enjoy eating there. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The atmosphere is awesome.

Not great food. Stiff tasteless chips. Great salsa but no refills. Messed up my order. Weird verde sauce, very cheesy. Dry chicken but great spinach in chicken spinach enchiladas. Beans were drab. Had to ask twice for extra jalapenos. Husbands fajitas were overcooked. Soggy veggies and dry overcooked beef.

Great food but the waitress upcharged us on the check not real happy about. They seem to give better service to Spanish folks.

love it! The menu is massive I cant see how they keep it all going, I'd hate to have to do the shopping. The white queso is the best around. I just haven't tried many things on the menu... yet

I tried this place once with my friend and I am hooked ever since. I enjoyed the good ambience and tasty dishes and beverages. Highly recommended.

Good food at a good price

I go with my wife to this place many times a year! This is the best place to have a bite. I go there regularly. The cooking is excellent, the staff members are professional and the rates are reasonable. I enjoy eating in this restaurant for a tasty meal.

Average food, at best, fair price. Margaritas not great.

Pretty good food. Super sweet lady that is your waitress/cashier. Small, but they do offer a brunch buffet. Only Hispanic food place I've ever seen do a buffet.

Its was real good, quick service didnt have to wait forever on food.

Good food and amazing prices for large portions!! A very authentic experience for sure

We ordered a side of guacamole to be served before main course. It came out with the meal. It was too salty to eat. Waitress never checked on us once. No refills on water, soft drink, or asking if we wanted another mixed drink. No refill of chips or salsa. She put the bill on the table and never said a word. There at least 7 other Mexican restaurants in a 5 to 8 minute driving range so we don't have to ever come back to this place.

The food was good and service was good the first time I went. I went a few months later, and the food was so horrible I will never go back. I'm sure you can see how burnt the meat is in the second picture. I had to send it back, and when they replaced it, it wasn't much better. Needless to say I left hungry.

I love the atmosphere! Great music, and all of the art on chairs and caddys is so cute! The menu is so extensive. Something for everyone. I've also always had great service every time. My favorite place for Tex-Mex!

I love this place, but they only have white cheese. That blows considering I do live in America. At least the staff is nice and my food is always amazing.

Food is good service is good but the bath rooms are very sleepery they need to do some about it before some one falls

Generous portions for value of price, food always delicious even if you have a complicated order. Great waitstaff and owner! Try the Pollo caldo (chicken soup) it's the best!!

So far the best Mexican good we've found in the area. The chips were served hot, the salsa waa not too spicy yet full of flavor. The cheese dip was really good, especially with the corn tortillas and warm butter. Fast friendly service with a beautiful smile. Our meal came to the table quickly. It looked great and was steaming hot. Everything we tried was delicious, from the grilled shrimp to the relleno, to the rice and beans. Absolutely no complaints here!

Favorite place to eat, best fajitas around and great prices! Love ordering to-go!

Yummy, yummy wonderful food! Waitstaff was excellent! Really enjoyed my meal.

My mother is in love with their lunch platters and won't go anywhere else!

Fairly clean. Good wait staff. Fast service. Salsa was very thin and watery. Chips were fresh and hot. Enchiladas Supreme was just OK, not a lot of taste.

We ordered one of the lunch specials. Waitress asked if we wanted chicken. Yes. No lettuce on my plate please. No lettuce or sour cream on his please. No problem. When our food came, there was lettuce on mine. She offered to fix it, but since it took 20 minutes to get it, I declined. Husband's beans were burnt. Were offered chicken and got 1 chicken and 1 beef. The guacamole tasted 2 or 3 days old. Waitress was busy flirting with a busboy. Chips and salsa were good. Manager did remove one of our meals to compensate for the problems.

My new favorite restaurant. $7.99 for a huge delicious plate food in a clean environment. Service is great. We will be back soon

Surely a place worth trying, the food is excellent and well prepared, the rates are convenient and it is regularly well organized in here. Keep up the good work.

Good food. Tons of choices. Great service.

Some of the best Mexican food in the area and their service is great. You also don’t have to wait long for the food too.

OMG, great atmosphere. Great food.

Wonderfull place Great service Good food Best fish soup

Great food and fair pricing. We dine here every chance we get! We don't live nearby.

Food was cold and tasteless. We got the wrong order for the first takeout so I had to drive all the way back and they tried to blame it on us!------Let alone charge me additional money. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

Ordered enchiladas & shrimp cocktail. The enchiladas were good but I LOVED the shrimp cocktail. It was so fresh & delicious!!

Great authentic fresh Mexican food. Would have enjoyed more music.

Okay we've been to this restaurant twice the first occasion a very special one, the food was good the server mediocre. The second occasion the food was good nice, and enjoyed the other choices of the menu variety, had the same server.It doesn't seem as though the server has ever been a customer at a Restaurant where the service was excellent.The server or waitress needs more training.

Best place in Denison. I wish they would open back up. *Hint hint*

This place is very authentic. The beans are made fresh, the queso is home made too. Everything is made from scratch. One of my favorite dishes is the nachos supreme. Chicken, beef, bean, queso, sour cream, lettuce, tomato. Every chip is covered. My husband orders the chimichangas, which are not small. The pricing is reasonable. A family of 6 with 2 kid meals runs about $70 before tip. This has become my favorite Mexican food restaurant easily. Way better than a chain restaurant.

Dissent even get 1 starOnly put 1 star as it would not let me post with out it

Fast and delicious...pretty reasonably priced

Always good service. Good food. I had the spinach quesadillas. This Hispanic was enjoying the music! LOL

Good Mexican Good!! Service needs a little work but no problems!!!

Food is great but the price is way toooo steep.

We were greeted almost immediately and seated. The menu has a translation section which is great because the names of the meal is in Spanish while the description is in English. The service is very quick. The food tastes homemade not pre bought in a box or the frozen. The queso was a bit thin in my opinion but very good. Salsa has the right amount of spice. I will be back. Prices are average for a sit down restaurant. I spent less than $40 for 2 of us including tip. Only 4 stars because the shredded cheese tasted a bit sour to me.

The nacho supreme was ok except there was lots of juice of some kind on the bottom making it all super soggy. And we prdered a aide of guacamole and. Was slimey amd taked like bananas. Kinda scary

The food and service was amazing! I highly recommend it. If you have a party of four, plan to spend more than $40. Totally worth it though!

Great service great food great everything. I really enjoy eating here. I am never disappointed when I eat here.

Fantastic food. Authentic tex mex for a decent price.

Good food , service exelent

Place looked dirty. Food not that great either
