El Tapatio Méxican Restaurant - Auburn (CA)

5 /5 Kendra&Jared Bower: This place is so good. We’ve been here a few times and it’s always fire. I usually get the Birria tacos BUT…this time I got the Molcajete with steak and chicken and let me tell you that steak is some of the best I’ve ever had. So much flavor in these dishes. The only thing I wish (of every Mexican restaurant) is that the yellow rice would be more authentic. But it’s still 5 stars in my book.

5 /5 Doug Kim, Roseville Realtor 916: 10/10. This place hits the trifecta Service/Food/Atmosphere. This place is so excellent. Ricardo our server was so congenial, attentive, and welcoming. The whole staff is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. What an excellent. Place to eat.

4 /5 Steven Funderburk: I had the fajitas with added shrimp, and they were flavorful and satisfying. Everyone in our group had a great time and really enjoyed their meals. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was friendly. A solid spot for a good night out with friends or family. Would definitely return!

5 /5 John DuBois: We found this excellent restaurant after buying a new car in Auburn and we’re very happy with authentic and very tasty Mexican food. Service was excellent, great vibe, even had a guy playing guitar that was incredibly talented on a Thursday night, even took home almost half for dinner tonight.

1 /5 Dan Covey: I’m not sure what’s changed in the kitchen over the past six months, but something has. We’ve placed large pickup orders for years, and the experience was great until recently. Last night’s order will definitely be our last. I placed a $230 order (including a $12 tip) online at 3:30, with a pickup time of 4:30, because I was with my 85-year-old grandmother and didn’t want her to wait long in the car. I arrived at 4:30 and was told the order would be ready in a few minutes, but I waited 20 minutes. It seemed the kitchen hadn’t started the order until I arrived, ignoring the scheduled pickup time. Additionally, we ordered $90 worth of blended margaritas for a Labor Day party, but they sat at the bar, melting into liquid and becoming nearly unusable. After waiting 20 minutes for the food and driving away, I received a call informing me that part of the order was missing and I needed to return to the restaurant. This wasn’t a one-off issue; my previous order also involved a long wait past the pickup time. Clearly, the kitchen is struggling to process orders on time. Given how effortlessly most restaurants handle online orders, I recommend avoiding this place at all costs.
