To start, we showed up at closing time with a party of 6. We asked if they would serve us, and they graciously said yes!The staff was extremely kind and took our drink order. We decided to buy a round for the house since they were nice enough to feed us at closing. We ordered a pitcher of their Tapatio margaritas. They came out quickly and were delicious. After a few minutes of looking at their large menu, we made our selections, and not long after, our food came out. Everything was soo good. I snapped a few photos.Overall, it was a great stop that was friendly to our large group and took good care of us even though they were closing.

Are here 2-3 yrs ago on a December wknd in Salida. Was driving through Salida today and knew where I wanted to eat - Tacos El Tapatio.Came in on Wed at lunch, not overly crowded & seated right away. Guy up front was serving the tables, answering phone orders, & handling take out by front register. He was very busy, but his svc level was pretty good given the situation.I ordered the veggie enchiladas. I think he told the kitchen veg burrito, but it was tasty so nbd.(It was one 'enchilada', very large and overstuffed as enchiladas go. Lol. Pic attached.)The salsa of the chips & salsa pre meal definitely had a kick to it, but flavorful. If you don't like spicy salsa, be aware at least.Enjoyed the veg dish, and accompanying rice and black beans. Flavor was good in all. I remembered enjoying the food a few yrs ago, and the food is still tasty here. And a robust menu in a small town, too.

Stopped here on my way back home in the Denver Metro area. Was by myself and just looking for a good local place. This showed up because of the good reviews. I had to ask if I could just sit anywhere, but it was confirmed I could. Once I did the service was quick. The chips and salsa were great and good portions of both. Nice spice to the salsa. I ordered the Tapatio Burrito with the green chili (shredded chicken) and it was delicious. I was quite hungry after a long drive (with still hours to go) but it was really quite tasty. I did have to wait a bit for the check as I think my waitress went on a break, but someone else noticed me waiting and took care of me. Overall a solid experience and would absolutely come back here when I'm this way again.

Okay at first I was skeptical. We went in and wait a while for drinks. However, get we're short staffed. We almost left, but decided to stay and give patience. I'm glad we did! The house margarita was so good, the food was amazing! Our server was so nice. Food arrived very quickly and it was worth it. I got the Mexican pizza and it was yummy!

While passing through the area, we were looking for a good meal before heading to the hotel. We discovered Tacos El Tapatio, and the breakfast scramble was both flavorful and well-prepared. The dining area was tidy, prices were very affordable, and both the meal and service were outstanding.

Very underwhelmed after seeing the reviews. Went on a Friday night, and they were busy, which is to be expected. Though nobody seemed interested in acknowledging us as we waited to be seated, not even a "hey, with you in a second." Not the biggest deal on its own, but kind of set the tone. Eventually checked in after maybe five or ten minutes of just standing there with the bartender because it was the only person I could get to make eye contact with me. Not sure that did anything as he kind of just shrugged and pointed at one of the staffers running around but not every looking in our direction, but we soon got seated. I ordered the burrito supreme, which it said was served with beans and rice. No beans in mine or on the side. Just a big mush of mediocre and sometimes chewy but edible al pastor and a thin layer of bland rice. Got one Pepsi, but nobody offered to refill when I was done, never really saw the waiter again, and then had the check unceremoniously dropped on our table and confusion abounded when we asked if we could please order dessert, if that was OK with them. Dessert was the highlight for me. Deep fried cheesecake was tasty enough, but that was probably as much novelty with me as anything else. Could have been an off night, but food and service were a firm meh. Absolutely no rush to go back when I'm Salida way again.

Complimentary chips in salsa in Colorado?!! It's seriously unheard of by us in Gunnison & Crested butte. Well, they were good too...We had a house marg & mango margarita, I think the house was stronger than the mango & it was good, not artificial tasting. Not pictured: my husband had combo fajitas & I had the asada bowl. The fajitas were large, well seasoned but a little over cooked. My asada bowl was really good but if I could chose a different meat I would, it was pretty gristly. We sat at a patio outside, it's covered & the weather was beautiful! Service was quick & everyone was very nice. We will definitely come back.

My wife, teenage son and his friend and me stopped in for a late light lunch. I wanted a margarita with a specific repasado and he said he would have to go to the back and get some. He came back and apologized but said they were unfortunately out of repasado in that brand. I was grateful for his honesty as he could have just made on and not told me. I likely wouldn't have noticed. The food was very good. I had a combination of street tacos which were very authentic and tasty. The boys had burritos which were huge, so much for light lunch, and they cleaned their plates. The wife had their Mexican pizza which was huge and so a lot was left over. I tried a bit and I wasn't thrilled but she enjoyed it.Great place just a block off Main Street with good food and an honest staff.

Small place so 5:30pm had a wait and service was slow even though the employees were working extremely fast. Steak supreme burrito was bland as well as the pina colada. Won't be returning here

I went here once, and the prices seem excessively high compared to other business in Salida. I will support fair market prices that have meals at $10.
