" This was my first visit and I was impressed! The staff made me feel welcome, and I was seated right away. I ordered the chicken fajitas which were well-cooked and piled high with veggies and chicken. The portion size was definitely worth the price. My one downside is that the restaurant felt a bit noisy but it was buzzing with laughter and conversations. Next time I’ll make sure to come early, as I’m eager to try more of their menu.

" El Tapatio has always been a solid choice for Mexican food in Sikeston. I’ve been coming here for years, and I can always count on them to serve well-prepared dishes full of flavor. Their margaritas are nice and strong—perfect for a warm evening. The staff are consistently friendly and you seldom have to wait long for food. I particularly enjoy their shredded beef tacos! But, on occasions, I’ve noticed that the food lacks a bit of seasoning compared to previous visits. Nevertheless, I will continue to support this establishment! " (*Curated Review*)

I also loved the vibrant decor which added to the cheerful ambiance. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone traveling through Sikeston! " (*Curated Review*)
