" The food is generally great, but my last visit was unusual; the service was slow, and I was disappointed by the lack of some items on the menu. Cleanliness was also an issue, with some tables left uncleaned for too long. I love their tacos but they need to step up their game on service and upkeep. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic tacos + great prices = my new favorite taco spot! I had the asada tacos, which were cooked just right – savory and juicy. The staff was friendly but a bit overwhelmed during peak hour which made the service a tad slow. But the food is definitely top-notch, and I loved the casual ambiance! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was mixed for me. While I enjoyed the tacos and they were definitely flavorful, the bathroom situation left much to be desired. It was inconveniently located, and cleanliness could be improved. I also found the service a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, the food is worth it, but they need to step up their game on service and cleanliness. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Tapatia for the first time last week and it was an incredible experience! The al pastor tacos were out of this world, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. We also tried the cantaloupe agua, which was refreshing. The dining area is a bit quaint but it adds to the charm. I'll definitely be back for more tacos very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A group of us got together for a late-night taco run and we chose Taqueria Tapatia. The al pastor tacos were savory and packed with flavor. I also appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, even if it was a bit rustic. Prices are hard to beat! If you’re looking for a solid taco spot that feels authentic, this one should be on your list. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic authentic taco joint! Love the vibrant flavors, especially in their al pastor. My only complaint would be that the tables need to be cleaned more frequently, as we ended up sitting at a dirty table. Regardless, the taste of the food makes up for it. Highly recommended for taco fans! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tortas at Tapatia are legendary! The size is unbeatable, and they are stuffed with fresh ingredients and meats. Each bite is a delight. However, be prepared for a limited menu at times as some items may run out; it’s a high-demand spot for sure. Cleanliness could be better, but the food makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)
