Reviews for El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant in St Helens, OR

The crab enchiladas are to die for. They will ruin all other ones that you know.

I can?t believe that they change 5.99 for the rice 1cup and the bean 5.99 for a 1 cup won?t buy it any more the cheaper to make

Try the Camerones Chipotle......probably one the of the better plates I have ever had at any Mexican restaurant. Service is... sometimes slow, but they do still serve beans with their chips, so I would call that a wash. Overall pretty decent place toenjoy some good food. Read more

This place use to have you going home with a third or half of your meal. Not the case anymore. Also what happened to the passion... for making delicious meals? I'm disappointed. I'm not sure if we'll come back, my husband doesn't want to. Read more

I give this restaurant 3 stars because it really varies depending on where you sit. If you eat in the restaurant...Great food,... quick service and good experience. If you eat in the bar...you are usually ignored and it takes 45 minutes to get food. Mylast two experiences have been in the bar and it was NOT good. That said I have never had a bad time inside the restaurant, soif you stick to sitting on that side you are golden! Read more

We went here Saturday with my family after the school dance. My son was at the booth with us and he had gum hanging wet onto his... leg from the table. We proceed a complaint and the waitress told us it wasn't their their problem as she can't control what theydo. We weren't moved to another table or compensated for the uncleanness. My son looked under the table and discovers about 20or more pieces of gum. This place is not clean and claims it's out of their hands. We left and she proceed to tell me in frontof my family a kid who is 10 and 6, saying " I'd imagine how he is at home" that was completely out of line. I don't recommendthis place it is a disaster for covid and spreading of germs . This is where our food is sat at. Read more

Tapatio's is a great place for individuals looking for large portions that won't break the bank. The service here is friendly... and checked up on our drinks at regular intervals during our meal. Food quality and size is as good or better than mostMexican-American food joints, and the menu has plenty of options depending on your taste (There's even an 'American' foodsection for those who can't handle the flavor. The building itself is the reason for a loss of star, the dining area is somewhatsmall as half the building appears to be under some type of renovation. The construction zones are blocked by tarps whichseriously make you feel like your at a construction site. Some false walls or tapestry would do better to match the restaurant'sdecor. If you like Mexi-American at a favorable price, then this is the joint for you. Read more
