Im giving a 5 star because service was great but I had an issue with the price of the chicken chimichanga dinner. Every Mexican restaurant we go to 90% of the time i order a chicken chimichanga meal and it always is served with white melted cheese on top and its included in the price. My son and I got the same meal and we each were charged $3.50 a piece just for the cheese which should have already been included in the toppings.
If you've ever been to Mexico and eaten someplace other than a resort, you'll get an idea what authentic Mexican food is. Plenty of chicken, eggs, various ground meat, tortillas, etc. But there's a brand of homemade to it of course, in the quality and presentation. I see that come through at Tampico. The dishes are Americanized, yes. But they're done well and some of the stewed or simmered meat dishes like carnitas are especially yummy and remind me of time in Jalisco. And yes, the margaritas can be purchased in XL. Service is quick and nimble. And they've done the best you can do with a main street building that is 10x deeper than it is wide. I award five star reviews sparingly, but I think they deserve it... Arguably among the best Mexican restaurants I've dined in across the country
We had the shredded beef chimichanga. The shredded beef was tender and melted in your mouth! We also ordered the beef and shrimp fajitas as well. They were also delicious and the portions were awesome! Lastly but not least was the cheese dip. It went perfectly with the chips that had a great crunch to them. We will be back 🔜
What an amazing experience all the way around from the fresh chips and delicious salsa to the great service and the mango habanero salsa is to die for! Bring your friends because your going to have fun!
On our way back home and decided to stop in bedford to check out the food here cuz of the reviews let me tell ya idk whose posting these 5 star reviews but you realy need to eat good Mexican food haha this place is not worth the hype at all
