Service was okay but the garlic fish and shrimp were good
Beware, the owner of el Tapatio steals the employees tips. Apparently, he’s not doing that well, why else would he resort to stealing? he resorts to stealing money that isn’t his. It will be reported to the state, you are not meant to be stealing peoples wages/tips. The best part of all this? Roaches are pretty much overrunning the place. Be careful, when you order, check your food, or you’ll be getting extra protein.
Service was terrible, my extra grilled chicken didn’t arrive till end of meal idk why. my jalapeño never got it, that’s even after main dude took are service cause first dude didn’t understand us, food was on point, 3 stars cause of service, an my ticket was 100$ which you would imagine they would care
