Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

As soon as my husband pointed out that they had tacos al pastor on the menu, I should have just ordered a whole plate of them. Instead I got a more pedestrian taco/enchilada combo and one taco al pastor to try. That impulse-purchased side item was the highlight of my meal. I've considered El Camino Real at 7th & Central to be the pinnacle of tacos al pastor quality, but I think Tapatio edges them out if only because the pork is a bit leaner. Admittedly the rest of my meal was kind of meh, but I'd go there again just for the street tacos. Next time I'm looking forward to finding out if they pass my tamale test.

I met a friend here for an early dinner. Lots of parking available and easy to find. There was a pleasantly boisterous atmosphere as they had a live band playing for a family's party as I walked in. They even had a tuba player! Fun stuff, great atmosphere. Clean tables and floor, etc. I stayed pretty safe and ordered two chicken tacos and a margarita on the rocks with salt. The chicken was nice and spicy, it came with cilantro and onions is all. I added salsa on top. The tortillas were doubled up which was good since they were thin. I have no complaints at all, service was good, price was ok, 2.99/taco. My drink was ok, kind of had that pre-mix taste. I only gave it three stars since I'm comparing it to the great salsa bar I had at another place, so ever since then every other place is a let down. I think if they made available more fixings to add and hand made drinks (fresh lime, etc), it would be a significantly more enjoyable restaurant.

My friend and I ate here a year ago, it was fine, service was slow, but the food tasted fine. We both had food poisoning the next day. I rarely get sick from food and my stomach was a mess that night and then I had food poisoning/diarrhea the next day as did my friend. So.. fast forward a year, my go to place for Mexican closed and in a pinch the same friend and I tried this place again.. good going down, nice waiter.. but, horrible night of sleep due to stomach stuff and then food poisoning the next day and a half.. both she and I had the same exact reaction twice.. won't need to return. And if a similar situation arises, I suggest Imodium, it was the only thing that slowed this thing.

The location is convenient. The service was okay (it took a bit too long to get refills, and our particular server wasn't a bundle of enthusiasm...it was clearly a 'job' that night). The food was plentiful and good. Ask for queso with your chips; it wasn't brought out automatically. If you don't eat Mexican food, the pickings will be slim, but you can order off the kids menu for an additional charge of $2. The drink prices seemed reasonable. The price for 3 meals was only $22, including a drink.

Wow, it's taken me 2 years to come back. I really don't know why. I got the same dish as I got last time and it's still good! I had drinks this time, the last time I was here they didn't have their liquor license yet. So, an update. Hubby had the Carnitas and he liked it. I thought their white cheese dip was really good. I don't know why or what made it different but it's good! I had oysters there and it was delish!

Tapatio is located in a convenient location right off i-70. The restaurant is large and looks nice on the inside. It definitely does not have the feel that most of the Mexican restaurants in KCK have. The service and pricing is also pretty good! I am not a huge fan of the food. It's only good, nothing fantastic or special. I also feel that the flavors are a little muted. It's close to authentic Mexican food without the "punch." I'll go back for sure because they have GREAT nachos but I don't think that I'd try much else. mmm...that's a lie, they have killer queso!

This restaurant is in the Prescott Plaza shopping center, at the north end of the 18th Street Expressway in KCK. It could be a good place to stop for something to eat if you're also shopping at the fantastic Sun Fresh market in the same center, which has a fabulous selection of Mexican groceries! I had the chiles rellenos today, one of my "go-to" dishes at Mexican restaurants because they're kind of tricky and messy to make at home. These were OK, but not stellar. The red sauce that covered them seemed to be freshly made, but for some reason didn't appeal to my sense of taste. The rice and beans were also OK, but not remarkable. The chips were fine, and came with two sauces, one mild, one hot. To drink I had horchata, which was good (but didn't include free refills like at some restaurants).

The food was disgusting. The red sauce on my enchilada tasted like marinara sauce. The service was just as bad with inattentive and inept servers. A terrible experience across the board.

I've eaten here 3 times and loved it each time. I am a vegitarian and had no problem finding something tasty. Margarita's are tasty and the fried ice-cream is something to write home about. The location is clean. I prefer Tapatio to any of the other area Mexican resturants... my in-laws didn't have a good experience... but this isn't their review, so i'm giving Tapatio 5 stars. :)

Love this place. Close to home. Many good selections and everything has been good. I had the alambres the last time which I wish were dressed up a bit more but they are delicious. The servings are large and we always take some of our food home. Everything always seems fresh and appropriately cooked. The atmosphere is clean and I like the big screens for sporting events. Bathrooms could be policed a little bit better.

Really great food, atmosphere, and prices! Definitely coming back!

Yes there are veggie dishes, and it isn't swimming in queso. Which seems just wrong if I order a nacho dish. I mean cheese is the name of the item. Dry chips with little meat. Yuck! My main draw there in the first place was I wanted to try the fried banana dessert. It was ok. Also, the other reasons for not being thrilled with this place is the bait and switch played on me and others. There was a commercial on the night before (which re-perked my interest), for a 2 for 1 entree. We get there and our not so friendly waitress tells us, that was a grand opening deal and it is no longer available. I told her I just saw the commercial last night. Before we left, my roomie over heard another lady ask about the same deal and her waiter said it was good. Roomie pulls him over and ask, what's up? He talks with the manager and goes back and tells his customer that it is not available. I won't be returning here. Bad business ethics.

Awesome! Really clean and great vegetarian options. Not your standard 'swimming in cheese and sour cream' mexican place but also plenty middle of the road options for those not looking for beef tongue stew. I've never seen a veggie flauta on a menu before in KC and they were fabulous. Great flavor, plenty of spinach and peppers. The horchata was thinner than other places but a really lovely amount of vanilla in it. One of the better horchatas I've had in KC. The rice is even super fluffy and not greasy. Prices were great - $30 for lunch for 3 adults. $2.99 margarita. Will definitely be back to try the tacos pastor.

We had a Groupon, so decided to try this place. I don't remember too much about the decor, but it seemed roomy and family-friendly, with plenty of seating. I can recommend the chicken tacos, the chorizo tacos, and the chips and salsa... (Beware Teh Hot Sauce - it may make you sweat!) The rest, well -- meh - it wasn't that memorable - knowwhutImeanVern? They kinda messed up my dining companion's meal ( they redid it with no complaints or fuss, however. ) The waitress we had kinda gave off a vibe like she didn't really care. If I was in the area (JITB Taaaaacoooos....) I might stop by if I felt like it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return here.

Very good and fast service. Very tasty food and a nice environment at any time of day.

I was actually impressed with this place. i have heard mixed reviews, but hey-everyone is a critic. However, if they could do better then they should open a restaurant. I dislike cooking, and I had a coupon-Bonus!! I chose take out and it was ready in 10 minutes. I will definitely go back!

This place turned out to be a big surprise. I brought a Groupon by mistake and almost waited till it expired before using it. So to my surprise it turned out to be nothing like I expected and was sorry I waited so long. The place is nicely decorated. Both my partner and I ordered the lunch fajitas. The fajitas were just Ok, not the best, but not bad either. From the looks of other plates surrounding me there are a lot of good choices here. The price is very reasonable and the service is beyond excellent. Would I eat here again? The answer, you bet!
