" What a fantastic find! El Tapatio is the perfect spot for our family gatherings. We went for a Saturday lunch, and the restaurant was bustling with energy. The portions are massive – you definitely get your money's worth! The carne guisada was succulent, and the salsa fresca added a superb kick. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the place. We will make it a regular stop on our visits to New Braunfels! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tapatio has a very casual vibe with solid food. I had the carne asada burrito and it was packed full of flavor. The service was average at best; it took a while for our orders to be taken. Overall, I’d call this place dependable and worth trying if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand all the great reviews. My experience was far from perfect. The service was slow and inattentive, and I struggled to even get basic refills. To top it off, my shrimp tacos weren't fresh and tasted rather bland. The ambiance was nice, but there wasn't enough redeemed by the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at El Tapatio was heavenly! I particularly loved their enchiladas – they were cheesy and bursting with flavor. However, the service was a bit delayed during the busy dinner hours, which was a little disappointing. Regardless, the friendly nature of the staff made up for it. I would return mainly for that delicious enchiladas! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited El Tapatio based on a friend's recommendation. The chips and salsa were a nice start, but my main dish, a carne asada plate, was pretty lackluster. It felt under-seasoned and the onions were raw rather than grilled. The service was friendly though, and I can't fault them for trying. For a casual meal, it holds its own, but don’t expect the best. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm glad I stopped by El Tapatio. The food was well presented and flavorful; however, my dish seemed a bit greasy. The staff was pleasant, and the restaurant had a nice vibe. I would likely consider revisiting considering the good options available. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re seeking authentic Mexican food in New Braunfels, you won’t find much better than El Tapatio. We feasted on their extensive menu and I was particularly fond of the ceviche—it was fresh, zesty, and had a generous serving size. I also loved how the environment screams local eatery with a homey appeal. Staff were very attentive to our table as well. We'll keep coming back. " (*Curated Review*)
