Tapatio's Mexican Grill Seafood

This is Mexican food you wish your mama made! The tamales no joke! The flavors are big and bold; the sauce has that special something that I can 't quite put my finger on maybe abuela 's love? All I can tell you is that the last time I had tamales this delicious, they were made, not only by my almost Mexican grandma but also a successful restaurant owner and chef. I take tamales very personally, and these went straight to my heart. The burritos ate big time and scrumptious, too, according to my mom (grilled chicken) and husband (carne asada). Have you seen the size of this burrito? My mom was shocked, and they were just as big in flavor. One more observation the refried beans are fire! Even reheated the following and the next day, they taste as if they were freshly made. I 've been back just to get them! There are self serve chips and salsa bar; these are great before, during, and after your meal (leftovers). The building is small, just like any good mom and pop shop, and it 's next door to a motel. So, if you 're not looking closely, you might miss it. There 's picnic type seating outside and a few tables inside. And yes, there is disabled parking in front of the building without stairs. This is a definite must stop, whether you 're a local or just visiting. Enjoy!

Driving home to SD from AZ and made a stop here for lunch based on a quick Yelp search. So glad we did! Best Mexican food we've had in a long time. The beef tacos were filled with flavorful, juicy machaca and the lettuce and cheese were so fresh. Rolled beef tacos were also juicy and the guac was fresh and delicious. The California burrito was HUGE (I only ate half) filled with plenty of beef and fries. Also the tortilla was soft and fresh. They offer a nice variety of salsas, spicy carrots and tortilla chips. We dined in and the AC in the small dining area kept it nice and cool. We'll def be back when driving through!

Excellent food!!! Nice service Amazing food. Best crispy Chicken Tacos ever!! Nicest staff

Never thought I'd be driving out to Alpine for a Mexican food fix but here we are. And am I glad we did. Serving size is hefty AND the prices are affordable. Great bang for your buck. They have a self serve tortilla chip, salsa, and condiments station. Their tacos and burritos are all solid.

I love this place and am SO GLAD THEY ARE BACK after the fire!!! You have been missed TAPATIOS!!! I love being able to walk here with my dogs and get some breakfast, lunch or dinner for my son and I. The food is so good and the portions are generous and fresh! Pricing is pretty appropriate! Carlos is always friendly and shares a good conversation whenever we come in. I live the cooks and the beautiful outdoor covered patio! TAPS IS LEGIT CONSISTENTLY FRESH AND DELICIOUS MEXICAN FOOD IN ALPINE with always friendly service.!!!
