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.

I have only been there once, so perhaps it has changed. On my girls night out, I ordered a fancy burrito that claimed to have mushrooms in it. There were no mushrooms in sight. In fact, my burrito resembled the normal burrito that is a few dollars cheaper. It was essentially a tortilla wrapped around sauced chicken. Keep that in mind when planning your next rager in Rock Hill.

First of all, I love that this place has Dos Equis Amber on DRAFT alongside a few light beers to satisfy most, and serve draft beer in frosty mugs. What else to expect first thing in the door? A very traditional Mexican restaurant; servers often seem like family of the owner, everyone is courteous, they serve fresh warm chips with their salsa once they seat you. The food is excellent. I have been there on a Sunday afternoon when it was more busy, and on weeknights when it was slow; the food was still fresh and hot though. Enchiladas and fajitas come out sizzling on warm plates. Carnitas are one of my favorites to order in various dishes but also a gamble since its not as common as beef or chicken. Theirs tasted like it had slow-roasted, not an after thought or rushed out at all, very excellent. Their verde sauce and crema sauce dishes seem done well. Rock Hill has a handful of decent Mexican restaurant. I will continue to stop by here when I want a comforting Mexican meal and a beer or take out and hope they do well.

I've been looking for a good Mexican restraurant in Rock Hill and tried this place based off of the reviews. The staff was friendly and accomodating. I had the chicken taco salad and my friend had a huge black been burrito. The chips and salsa were good. Overall, no complaints. They were fast and the food was good. I will be back.

Very disappointed from previous reviews. Food very salty. Salsa salty. Margarita was small and taste like a mix. Sent it back and got top shelf. It taste some better. Chips were OK but nothing special. Service was good. I guess I have to continue to go to Charlotte to get good Mexican food.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to! It is clean and the food is wonderful. I got a beef burrito with rice and beans that was a lunch special. Very reasonably priced and came out so quickly. The chips and salsa have a little bite to them, but I'm a wimp with spicy food. I rarely finish my food, and always take home half my meal. This was so good I couldn't stop. We even got dessert. You HAVE to try the flour wrapped and fried banana!! It comes with a scoop of ice cream too. My husband is Puerto Rican, so I've had my fair share of rice and beans. This is the place to go!

My wife and I went on a Tuesday night and the parking lot was full, a good sign. Service was quick and the food was tasty and hot. The salsa was one of the better salsas I've had at a restaurant. It was not runny and it actually had a bit of a kick, unlike many places that give you runny mild salsa. When I want authentic Mexican in Rock Hill, I hit the taco truck on Celanese... but as for Americanized Mexican (ground beef, cheese on the tacos) this place is very good.

Went Friday after work not long after 5p. Place was practically empty. Promptly seated and brought chips and salsa. Salsa was good. Ordered cheese dip and was brought out one that was completely cold...not even remotely warm so sent it back and received one slightly warm...cool enough was forming a film on top. Food was okay but nothing great. Rice was probably the tasiest thing. Other items were just bland by Mexican standards. Chicken kind of dry. I am wondering if we got served stuff left from the lunch service earlier that day. Not a terrible experience, but having other options in RH, we won't be back.

I have tried almost every Mexican restaurant in Rock Hill. This one has become my go too! The food is excellent and the staff is pleasant. I highly recommend this place!

Brand new to the Rock Hill area is an authentic Mexican restaurant named El Tapatio. I am hoping to up this review after a couple more visits, but right now, it's on par with most other authentic Mexican restaurants. What I really liked about El Tapatio was the sign on the door letting me know that the lunch special is $3.99 and the dinner special is $5.99. Does it really get any cheaper than that? My wife and I got different lunches, but the total came to a little over $11. A $3 tip and we were in and out for less than $15. I should be giving this restaurant 5 stars for price alone. The inside is exactly what a traditional Mexican restaurant looks like. I'm hoping the business does well enough to eventually get rid of the tables and get something more permanent. The walls are traditionally decorated and the only TV in the place is by the bar. Most likely for the bartender to avoid boredom during the day (been there, done that). The server was very friendly and helpful. There was a bit of a language barrier...and if you've read my reviews before...I think that's a good thing. Before we get to the food, I'd like to say that this is a real Mexican restaurant...and I'm still not sure if Rock Hill is ready for something that isn't Americanized or covered in bells and whistles. Let's talk food. The traditional basket of chips and salsa: Nothing special here. Just like anywhere else...except, not one of the chips was stale. The salsa was what you'd expect. Beef burrito with rice and beans: Good taste of seasons except an abundance of salt...but I like salty. The beans and rice were cooked just right and tasted nice. The "Easy Way Out"...Chimichanga: Fried without all that folding weirdness. The meat was seasoned perfectly and the chicken and peppers were done just right. I little queso on the top...very nice! The sides were beans and a small lettuce, guacamole, queso salad to use how you like. I would really have loved to have some fresh guacamole with this dish. I know most restaurants don't do fresh, but I think it makes all the difference. Maybe it's just the fact that it's cold from coming out of the refrigerator. Did I mention how nice our server was? She only topped it off by bringing us some free sopapillas for desert. Take my advice on this one...whether you get a free sample like we did or not, get yourself some for desert. It's just enough to satisfy a sweet-tooth, and for such a simple desert...they are great! I hope everybody gives El Tapatio a try. I think this could turn into a great place get together with friends. Good luck El Tapatio!

One of the best authentic Mexican restaurants around! Well worth it! The salsa is great, and service is quick and friendly, even on a busy night.

The food here is fresh and well prepared. Their pico de gallo is amazing. Obviously made on site from fresh ingredients. Don't let the small shopping center atmosphere throw you off. The staff is friendly and the food creates a happy feeling at the table. I do have to say, I've had better margaritas.
