We should have turned around and left when we walked in and saw the manager/owner running plates with no mask on. They seated us, and by that I mean the manager pointed across the dining room at where we should sit. Our waiter was polite but seemed unaccustomed to his job. We ordered and our food took forty minutes to come out. My wife ordered shrimp cocktail. It was large and she enjoyed it. I ordered pollo poblano. It wasn't bad, but If you put an ingredient in the name of a dish you should put more than three pieces of said ingredient in the dish! There were three pieces of poblano pepper in the entire dish. The tortillas that came with it were hard. When our food arrived I had to ask for silverware. Twice. Y'all I am generally a very Easy customer to please, especially as it relates to Mexican food. This was an overall unpleasant meal.

This is becoming an obsession. Every time I’m in Madison I eat here. Their food is outstanding. Had the carnitas tacos amazing. It reminds me of the Mexican food in San Diego.,

I’m from San Diego And these rival any Mexican food I had there. I highly recommend it.

Pretty good decent service but who doesn't like Mexican and a good margarita?? Really I go their more for the Margaritas then anything else!! Lol and the super donkey burrito!!
First day in our new office location - unpacking, cleaning & ready to take a break for a meal we turned to Yelp to find food. Decided to try Tapi for dinner and a drink to relieve a little moving stress. The restaurant is decorated in very bright, festive, and welcoming. The menu is extensive with lots of choices and photos of food options. It all sounded and looked delish. The food arrived and looked just like the photos. We ordered queso for an appetizer (very good!). My dad ordered beef fajitas and I ordered a chicken chimichanga. The food was good but seemed to lack some seasonings. We added salt/pepper which improved it a bit though still lacking some spice. The frozen cup was delight for a Corona Light, relieved a little moving stress. Will definitely give it another shot.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Madison. Tapatio's has great margaritas and good food. Their service has always been good, but it does vary a bit. The location is convenient if you want to have a couple of drinks and then walk over to the local theater to see a movie. I suggest you give it a try.

My dad used to work at the tapatios in Seymour IN he was the manager there so we went here on our way back to Seymour good food but my dads order was a bit dry but we both have the same taste in food when it comes to meats

Lunch at Tapatio while on a day trip to Madison. Tapatio is hidden behind a McDonald's and sits next to a movie theater on Hwy 62. My wife had the tamale off the lunch menu ($6.19) which is served with rice and refried beans. I had the Chile Relleno off the lunch menu ($7.29) which also was served with rice and refried beans. Both meals were very good. My wife stated her tamale was one of the best she's had. The tamale was tender and stuffed with pork. It was also topped with ground beef. My Chile Relleno was a mild poblano Chile filled with cheese, battered and deep fried. The Chile was smothered in their queso. The queso was good and a little more spicy than I was expecting. I liked it. Both of us felt the refried beans were better than many we've had at comparable Mexican restaurants. They were smooth and creamy with a nice bean flavor. IMO this meal was above average and the lunch menu a great value.
