Tampico Family Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Bedford

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.

Keep up...

Wouldn't even leave a review but feel like I need to because I was completely deceived by all the reviews. From reading the reviews you would think this was one of the best hole in the walls ever. It's not. The food was bland salsa tasted like ketchup of all things. Just a warning the reviewers have either never left town and it's the only thing they have had,o or it's all family. Idk but 100 plus reviews not a single below 3 stars seems odd to me for what I had. I didn't even finish my food. I guess some of the reviews were not wrong you do get plenty of food if you can...

First visit and very impressed! The fish tacos were by far the best I have had in the Midwest and rival some in the coast! Everything was fresh and nicely spiced! Loved the cheese dip for the chips! Large servings so had to take some home for later! And the service was fast and friendly! Will definitely be back and highly recommend making the trip if you have...
