" For someone like me who craves authentic Mexican food at odd hours, Taqueria Tapatia is a lifesaver. Their tacos are made to order, so you can guarantee freshness. I particularly enjoy their pork tacos—so tender and bursting with flavor. The standout for me has always been their salsa; you can tell it's made fresh daily. True, the ambiance isn't great, more like a casual eatery, but given that they are open all night, convenience trumps everything. Posting time: 2024-11-23 03:20:10 " (*Curated Review*)

" Don't let the looks fool you—Taqueria Tapatia might not have the most appealing atmosphere, but the food is phenomenal. I stopped by late one night and ordered a chicken torta, which was incredibly flavorful, with fresh ingredients throughout. I find myself coming back repeatedly for their tasty dish combinations and diverse salsa bar. All in all, if you are looking for quick, affordable, and good-quality Mexican food at any hour of the night, this is the place for you. Posting time: 2024-11-20 21:35:53 " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in San Antonio for quite some time, I can say there's no other spot for late-night grub like Taqueria Tapatia. The al pastor was amazing—perfectly seasoned and juicy! The overall environment had a neighborhood feel and was perfect for casual late-night dining. No pretenses here, just solid Mexican food. Cash only might be a hassle, but it's well worth it!

" While I appreciate the late-night convenience, I prefer my food to come with a touch of hospitality. The tacos are undeniably delicious, especially with the variety of salsas available, but the service staff hitting a sour note affects my overall enjoyment. Still, roll with the punches; you come for the food, and it won't disappoint! I intend on returning regardless. Posting time: 2024-11-06 21:30:10 " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Taqueria Tapatia #2 and I'm so glad I did! The carne asada tacos were perfection, and the tortillas were fresh and slightly warm, just how I like them. The ambiance is nothing fancy, but it has that cozy, 'hole-in-the-wall' vibe that feels authentic and welcoming. I also had a refreshing horchata to wash it down. This is definitely my new late-night go-to spot. Highly recommend! Posting time: 2024-11-27 20:30:12 " (*Curated Review*)

" A casual dining experience where food speaks for itself. The tacos here are genuine with flavors that remind me of trips to Mexico. The prices are affordable which is a plus. I do think they could improve on keeping the space cleaner. Regardless, if you're looking for consistent and authentic Mexican food, this is worth considering.

" My experience at Taqueria Tapatia was mixed. While the food was undeniably tasty, with great flavors in the tacos and burritos, the service left much to be desired. The cashier seemed overwhelmed and didn’t engage with the customers, which is a big letdown. I appreciate a friendly service, especially when enjoying delicious food! I might return for the food but wish the staff were more approachable. Posting time: 2024-11-29 12:15:37 " (*Curated Review*)
