Our History

A Tradition of Flavor Since 1986

At El Tapatío, we bring the heart of Mexico to your table. Founded in 1986, our family-owned restaurant has been serving authentic Mexican cuisine for nearly four decades. Rooted in the rich culinary traditions of Jalisco, every dish we prepare tells a story—of heritage, of passion, and of the flavors that make Mexican food unforgettable.


What started as a small, humble eatery has grown into a beloved local favorite known for its warm hospitality, handcrafted meals, and vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're joining us for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a special celebration, we strive to make every visit feel like home.

I have been eating here for over twenty years, since I was a young girl. Every time I feel welcomed and like family. Their food is always good, their margaritas strong, and always so sweet. Their enchiladas are a comfort go to. Definitely worth it.
