It's been 4 years since my last review, and I decided to give Los Tapatios another shot. I'm happy to say that I'm glad I did, as most everything about this experience was much better than what I remember from my last experience. Los Tapatios was a great stop for some authentic mexican food this weekend. During COVID their bar is currently not open, but they are doing indoor seating with the requirement to wait for a table outside if they are at full capacity. On this visit I ordered the "pick 3" plate with Chile Relleno, Burrito, and a Chicken Quesadilla with a side of Tamales for our table to share. (Side rant, the pick 3 is only 50 cents more than the pick 2. Who in their right mind would ever do the pick two over the pick three? Just take the leftovers home for lunch the next day!) I was happy to see the tamales were wrapped in corn husks, as is authentic, and they were delicious. The pick three is plenty of food and on this visit allowed for me to take some home for lunch the following day. The service was good! Wait staff was always prompt with topping off drinks. We did have a little wait for our food, however it was a busy night and the wait was not terribly long, maybe 15-17 minutes? Overall, a much better experience than my first experience and Los Tapatios will be added back in to my rotation of dine-in restraints for the foreseeable future.

While it's not often that I travel from out of state to try a restaurant, this was one of the places I had to hit while I was back in town as I completely missed it before I moved to Michigan. The chips and salsa were on point. Queso was awesome! The Birra Tacos were good however it seemed as of most of the meat was in the last taco. The shells were nice and crispy yet soft and flakey*. The consume was also a very good. It's not on the staff that they were busy & I was a single seated individual but after I was brought my meals I wasn't visited afterwards vs. the table across from me having extremely tenantive service. I would have loved to order another drink and some dessert for my mom to-go as she hadn't had sopapillas in many years and I didn't get brought my bill. At least 20 mins went by. I was slightly confused, so I went to the counter to pay for my meal & left a $20 tip on a $14 bill before leaving. I hope whoever helped ring me out took notice of this. While I understand that I was a single individual vs multiple people with a larger bill I still value good food and quality atmosphere. I'll have to give it another shot with friends suppose.

Salsa tastes above and beyond. Actually, it has some, not a lot, zest to it like you would expect. The steak they use or prepare for their fajitas has some sort of flavoring. I'm not sure what it is, but it is good. I knock a star off this place because there isn't anything over the top that makes it "great." Would I go back? Yes, absolutely. Nothing food wise is bad. The second one I knock off is for the 4% you charge for using a card. I haven't been to many places restaurant wise up North, but let me tell you something. This is not common practice anywhere below Kentucky. Matter of fact, I'm going to go on a limb here and say out of the 1200+ cities and counties I've been to in the last 8 years, I work on the road all over the country, this may be the only one I've seen do this. Unless I've missed the find print somewhere. You at least have Coke here instead of Pepsi, so that is a plus.

It’s a cute restaurant close to Binghamton University. Their staffs and servers have great courtesy, but I can not give so much credit to their food. The quality of the food was less than average. The portions of the Lunch Specials are so small, you can check my photos, so if you are starving and walking in there, you need to order at least two of their lunch specials, which will be the same price as other options on the menu. Even I had the coupon from Localflavor; it still doesn’t worth it. I am not recommending the chicken taco, either chicken enchiladas and chicken chimichanga. They made it with can chickens and did not taste good at all. Chicken fajitas were ok but not like the photos on their menu. Make sure to try their ice cream; it was good.
