La Tapatia Mexican Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Round Rock

I’m writing this review 1 hour after leaving the restaurant - it was that bad of an experience. Upon arriving, we were greeted by the sound of an extremely loud action film unsuitable for kids and because we had our 7 year old with us, I kindly asked our waitress if they could change the film to something more kid-appropriate. She said she would ask management. The film played loudly in the background with violent scenes and expletives for the duration of our visit. Not sure why the volume needed to be on blast for such a terrible action film. Some people just have bad taste. Our waitress also never came back after making my request, perhaps she was embarrassed or told not to bother with us. As for the food - the rice was cold, over salted and mushy. The beef in my caldo de res was mostly bone and the broth was also too salty. If you want good Mexican food, take yourself somewhere delicious, like Juarez Bakery. If you’re looking for something friendly and accommodating, this restaurant isn’t it. Management should take his stubborn, machismo attitude elsewhere…good luck in life with that. All that being said, I tried making this review as fair as possible, but you know what? The service was bad, the food was mediocre, it was a miserable experience and that’s all...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Tapatia and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of cozy and modern decor. The staff greeted us with a friendly smile, and the service throughout the meal was impeccable.

The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The enchiladas were a standout, bursting with rich, savory flavors, and the horchata was the perfect way to end the meal. It’s clear that the chefs take great pride in their craft, using high-quality ingredients to create dishes that are both innovative and comforting.

One of the highlights of the evening was the attention to detail. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured that we felt well taken care of throughout the meal.

Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special celebration, La Tapatia provides an exceptional dining experience that’s worth every penny. I can’t wait to return and try more of their...

Wow. I had really loved this place before in it's old location. The food quality has gone down. The meat in my burrito was burned and dry. The soup had too much onion flavor and the tortilla syrups in it were soggy and came in the soup instead of on the side the way they used to. There were bones in the chicken in the soup my daughter got. The rice was overdone and not very good. The beans taste like they were from a can or they used old lard or something. Just NOT the way they used to. And to top it off, their prices went way up. So disappointed. This will probably be my last time going here. Next time, we'll go to Garcia's. Or even la margarita would be better. I really can't stress how disappointed I was. I had been telling my kids how awesome and amazing the food here...
