Tampico

I have been coming here since I was 10 years old and this is my first ever time to think to do a review the service was horrible, there is me and my wife and one other table getting served at the time and the waitress messed up my order i got the super nachos as a meal "no jalapeños" and im flabbergasted that lo and behold there was jalapeños on my nachos. Apparently i Found out from the waitress there is two separate guacamole's, my wife's guacamole had no jalapeños but for some odd reason when i ask for no jalapeños my nachos guacamole has jalapeños. Received actually regular nachos and still charges me for super nachos. Yes its a $2 difference but its just the fact that they put sour cream on the side it should be on the nachos. Our waitress, Yenisleiey was very RUDE. Will never be coming back again when im in town, not worth it.

A friend and I went to eat tonight and had the worst experience with service and food. When we arrived we ordered drinks. I ordered sweet tea and my friend ordered a margarita. I quickly was out of tea and took nearly 7 minutes to get a refill and that was after the waitress came to the table and took the food order. I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich which came out with no buffalo sauce, so I asked if she could get me some Buffalo sauce. Waitresses response was, "let me see if we have Buffalo sauce." Uhhhhh... it's on the menu as a Buffalo chicken sandwich. She brought some Buffalo sauce and the check. I again was without tea and my friend out of margarita. I'm assuming she was saying it was time to go. We were there less than 40 minutes and the terrible service and rushing us out and apparently she was doing it with every table lost them a lot of money because we were going to watch the game and have more drinks and also dessert before we left. There were many open tables and zero people waiting to be seated so it wasn't not due to them being busy. I will never return there the my Buffalo chicken sandwich seemed to be frozen tenders and frozen fries. I had eaten there before and the service was great from the waitress Joy. She was exceptional. The chimichanga was below below average but the service made up for the food with her.

Me and co-worker went to have dinner after work. The food wasn't that great, I ordered "Supreme Ranchero", which I see is not on the menu any more, Thank God! It had Steak, Chicken and Shrimp but then they threw in Potatoes. Not tasty at all, but the couple of Medium Margaritas I had were good. Got there at Happy Hour, the cost only $13.00 bucks, not bad. So have Alyssa get you drunk before you order and after you eat, this way it's a fantastic restaurant deserving of Michelin Stars!

The food here is great but the drinks are even better. I love the stroke a nut . It's great! There is always happy hour the margaritas are half off. Great Mexican restaurant

Not Mexican flavor at all. Don't even try it. They don't even know how to make enchiladas verdes. Expensive for the garbage they sell

Worst Mexican food ever. I would rather eat at Taco Bell. The salsa tasted like spaghetti sauce and the food was mushy and over cooked. Obviously using the lowest quality food ever.

I grew up in this area and Tampico's is one of the only restaurants so people are highly critical of a place they go to all the time. A review under 4 stars is not at all warranted. Every time a new Mexican restaurant opens up (and closes shortly after) people proudly exclaim "It's better than Tampico's!" Why? Because Tampico's is the bar! They have set a high standard and those places are never really as good as Tampico's. Admittedly I've settled on one dish that I really like, the Super Nachos. I also like the Burrito Allegra (chili & cheese burrito) and the Chimichanga. They have, hands down, the best salsa anywhere. I love that it's served hot. Some people are used to salsa being cold and think it's weird to get hot salsa. Those people are wrong. Their margaritas are also consistently fantastic. I get the Patron meltdown most of the time. I hope they stay open forever.

This place was completely horrible. The service was terrible. And there wasn't a rush or anything. He was just slow. I'm from the Hammond area and have never seen "hot" salsa. Like temperature wise. Like it's gross. There is 6 Mexican restaurant just in Hammond and none of them serve hot salsa. Including all over the country. Like if ppl like it cool. Just have the option of cold salsa too. And on to my meal. $12.95 for a plan chicken quesadilla.... like what? And it wasn't even good. It was cut up for me. The tortilla was burnt and greasy and there was hardly any chicken on this. I basically had a cheese quesadilla.... like I'm use the paying $4.25 for something that's full of chicken and is actually good. So basically I had crappy service, weird salsa, bad tasting over priced food. So I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Absolutely unorganized First I have to compliment Tampicos for opening after Hurricane Francine; everyone was happy to get out after the storm. My issue was the lack of accurate timeframes and lack of organization at the restaurant. When I called in my order at 6:03 I was told the wait would be 45 minutes. When I arrived the parking lot was packed. The waiting area was also packed, I was asked it I was picking up or wanted a table. I was never asked my name for the order. I only saw the cashier who handles take out twice IN AN HOUR. Finally the poor hostess went to the kitchen to find our orders. Some people waiting behind me ordered an hour after me, however, all of the orders came out at the same time. Several people waiting for a table were sat, served and left, while us waiting for take out were STILL standing in line. It is one thing to be busy, it is a complete opposite to have such poor service at an established restaurant.
