What reviewers say about Tapatias Taqueria

SABOR A MIEL6 months ago

My experience was amazing. We called to let them know we had a party of 20. They accommodated us right away for my bridal/ family shower. Bibi (Luis) did an amazing job, his staff went above and beyond. We were so pleased that decided the next day to celebrate our wedding reception. The ambiance, the place, the staff went above and beyond. Bibi thank you. I also want to thank the owner Evelyn for making us feel special. Her staff went above and beyond. We are thankful and blessed.

We stopped by Tapatias Taqueria, a small Mexican "hole in the wall" in Cleveland, and it was a fantastic find. The food was great and the service was absolutely fabulous. The salsa was excellent and fresh without being overpowered by onions. I also highly recommend the Jumbo Mango Margarita, which was delicious. For our main courses, I had the steak Fajitas Burrito—the meat was incredibly tender and flavorful—and my fiancé really enjoyed his Chimichanga. We also shared a Barbacoa Sope; while it was good, it is likely the only thing we wouldn't order again. It was a great experience overall, and we would definitely go back if ever in the area.
