★★★★★ 5.0 Sueann Rafferty · Jul 2025

Excellent authentic Mexican food! It’s the absolute best in the area. Service is very good just be prepared for a language barrier And you’ll do fine. I love this place and the food. Give it a try you’ll thank me later

★★★★☆ 4.0 Stephen Ferguson · Jan 2020

Truly authentic Mexican cuisine, crazy delicious, super satisfying, and very well priced. If your going to do Mexican, do it right, go to El Tapatio.

★★★★★ 5.0 Joshua Cohen · Jul 2024

No frills Mexican food in South river, food is consistent and tasty, portions are big without being absurd. Prices are reasonable. Wait staff is very nice, interior is a little worse for the wear and on the hot side. Not unexpected for the location. If your in the area and looking for authentic Mexican food, this is your spot!

★★★★★ 5.0 JDubs · Jul 2025

It's insane how delicious the food at this place is. Best birria tacos I've found in NJ. Super authentic Mexican food and the staff is incredible even with a little bit of a language barrier!
