El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Kingsville

Terrible experience, would never go again. Please, for the love for all that is holy do not order the Burrito Tarasca. I was served guacamole that turned brown after being served and not having my plate for even a full five minutes. The plate comes with a watered down milk like sauce that tasted rancid. The drinks were fine, probably the best option the restaurant has to offer. The service here is not great. When I sent my food back I was met with hostile glares for telling them the what the problem with my meal was, and did so calmly and quietly to be respectful with them about the entire ordeal. The management staff took everything straight to the heart and became furious. Needless to say I got food poisoning and raced home to throw everything up. Once I was able to settle my stomach, I called the restaurant to tell them that whatever was going on with that meal should be looked at because the rest of the party in my table was fine aside from another who ordered the same plate. The manager did not give their name and was totally abrasive when I was calmly speaking to them that something was wrong. They said and I quote: " Take them to the hospital and sue us, we have insurance. I've never had a complaint like this before and I don't see what it has to do with me or my name.". Maybe this place is going through a slump now and became prideful after the small success that they had. It's safe to say that this place definitely does not serve what it is...

servers are good. Most of The waitress are well mannered and polite when taking orders. Understanding english at fair levels but mostly Spanish speaking waitresses present. This place has electric outlets/ phone charging USB plugs connections on most of all the walls along sides of resturant. But unfortunately, none of those electrical outlets are working. Sadly when the cashier, also a manager was asked why these plugs are not working . Her response was that those plugs have not worked since they were installed. She stated, the restaurant has not addressed this situation for over a year. I stated that's very bad because this resturant is close to the university and many professionals bring their electronic equipment to do work or communicate with their businesses and other important contacts making these restaurant's electrical outlets and USB outlets pretty vital in their daily business transactions. Whereas, both their restaurant and the customers benefit. The manager was not positively responsive to the customer's awareness of their restaurant. Nor did she state any action would be taken to address their situation. I will not be returning to this establishment in...

We actually ended up going here for lunch Saturday and then met friends here for breakfast Sunday. Both times the food and service were excellent. I lived in Kingsville 10 years ago and this place just gets better. They have totally renovated the inside. It looks great! We loved the chairs and booth art! I got the al pastor burrito & he got chalupas. Both were fabulous! Their salsa is still to die for. It's my absolute favorite ever & I've had a lot of varieties. They also gave us fried tortillas with our chips. So good and not common in most Mexican restaurants. For breakfast I got tacos & he got the migas. He'd never had migas before but liked it. One of the kids got big fluffy pancakes. Another ordered a bacon & egg taco but it only had bacon when it came out. The kid talked so much about the bacon & how they wanted it cooked I don't think the server even heard her mention the eggs (she is also a very quiet talker when strangers are around). We just laughed & her mom gave her some of her eggs. I'm sure if we had said something they would have fixed it immediately. I've rarely had an issue with my food here and if I did it was always fixed quickly, no...
