We tried El Tapatio with some friends the other evening. You know this place; it has been Maxwell’s, BC’s and Alexandria’s, some kind of deli, an Italian place and lastly The Boiler House. It is on the west side of Cleveland Rd. near the Ford dealership.
The margaritas were strong but not all that tasty. The food was plentiful and very reasonably priced but it was really nothing special. It is typical cheap “authentic” Mexican food, beans and rice and so-forth.
The service was OK but I wouldn’t brag about it that’s for sure.
The restaurant looks just like it did when it was the Italian place (Boiler house closed so fast that we never got a chance to try it). The only new additions were a few Mexican looking wall decorations and orange and grape soda bottles all over the place.
My complaints are that after leaving El Tapatio my clothes smelled so bad that I had to throw them in the washer that night! Also, there were four deserts on the menu and none of them were worth ordering.
I don’t really see myself going back unless they take out an ad saying “We have a brand spanking new ventilation system and you won’t reek of burritos after eating here”.
