La Tapatia

This place used to be great but we went in here to purchase some tortilla chips we bought two bags and they were stale and hard. This used to be the place to go for rolled tacos and chips and salsas but maybe they got new management or sometimes they lose the cook and things change. Maybe next time we stop they would have had better quality control. What this place has is that it's really clean and well kept.

Serving the community for over 50 years this is a staple restaurant in the heart of Ysleta. The smells remind you your grandma's kitchen and the decor brings you back to your heritage. Everything you order here is going to have a taste of authenticity with its unique flavor. Come for the tostadas, Chile, corn gorditas,or tamales, they are made fresh throughout the day. This family run operation has out lasted the tough times, this is how you know they know what they are doing. Hands down no question, absolutely definitely recommend La Tapatia to any and all of you.

So I went back to this place but this time to try their gorditas. Boy oh boy, was I wowed. I ordered the colorado and picadillo on corn and to say they were full of flavor is minimizing the experience. They serve it with a red and green pico de gallo salsa. Both were perfect on the picadillo gordita. Doubt let the plain watery looking red salsa fool you. Its flavorful and hot. The pico taste like my childhood. The place is colorful and proudly portrays our Mexican culture through their decor. Prices are budget friendly. Cant wait to bring my picky parents here to have some gorditas.

When looking for a good, inexpensive lunch, this is the place to go. I recommend their daily special, which consists of two home style tacos (ground beef and potato) and a bowl of tomatoey macaroni and ground beef soup for under $5 is sure to have you coming back for more. Other items I've tried are the potato tacos, gorditas, flautas (Chico's tacos style) and tamales. They are pretty basic as Mexican food goes. Good, but nothing to write home about. Also, they could improve upon their salsa a bit. The red salsa is just your typical watery, red, spicy salsa, but the green salsa isn't much to be desired. Either way, trust me when I say that you won't go wrong with the daily special.

The rice was hard my Gordita was not cook all the way no flavor so ever and the chilaquiles sauce was straight from the can not a pleasant flavor very disappointed with my order just like u see in the picture I left my plate.

Service is great and so is the food! The aguas are delicious and I always order the rolled tacos.

The Gordita was very thick and sand like not completely fried. The filling was bland the only good in the Gordita was the red sauce.

I have been eating here since I was a kid! Try the Gorditas, they are fire!! They offer chips and salsa and if they don't just kindly ask. Great family team...especially during tamale season! The masa there is soooo good!

After living away for so long I was thrilled to find that the service was great and the tamales were still delicious. If you have a chance stop and eat there. It's a cute and fast place to eat.
