I've been going to Tapalpa for more than 25 years. The people that work there are nice, the food is good most of the time although I had a tough overcooked steak last week. I'll continue to go there unless things start to go south

Always a very nice meal. Quantities are good, preparations are great, and so is the service. Occasionally, there is an ensemble of troubadours playing songs (by request and their own selections) that adds a very nice touch. The Baileys shot with a dollop of whipped creme at the end is part of the experience. Can't go wrong coming here for dinner. I'm sure they probably serve lunch, but I'm never in this vicinity for lunch. Nice patio dining in the warmer months.

Delicious food and nice ambiance! The drinks were delicious and it was very refreshing. The food was excellent and the service was awesome! I would really recommend this place to try the drinks. The ambiance was nice and had some colorful atmosphere. The tacos were really delicious. Will definitely visit this place again to try more food options.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in my area, although I have only one item on the menu ever. The 1st time I ate there, I ordered the Huachinango a la Veracruzana, which is red snapper with olives and everything else you could ask for in a Mexican meal. In addition, the salsa served with the chips is awesome.

This place has been a family favorite for 24 years! The owner and staff always made you feel like old friends. Great food, service and my favorite salsa! They recently changed ownership and havent missed a beat! Great food! The steaks are thick and flavorful - quality food - great neighborhood Mexican spot!

How does this place stay in business? Poor quality ingedients ( mushy, tasteless shrimp that should have been thrown out it was so old.)Uninspired menu choices.Our waiter couldn't make any recommendations or just didn't care about our dining experience. Then he rushed to clear the table before we were even done eating.We were seated in a booth that was falling apart. The cushions collapsed when we sat on them.So many better choices for food elsewhere.

Service was excellent staff was very nice place was clean. The food was awful though. Churrizo was heavily burnt, low quality steak very chewy, and the elote was ooooooooold it was either over boiled or left under a heat lamp either way the corn on the cob was weird texture and it was bland toppings, I've had better in cups from shops or la michoacana. Good horchata though.
