El Tapatio - Rock Hill

Preliminary Rating First time there and did carryout First time going and did take out of fajitas, a taco salad, and chips and salsa. Moved to SC from north Texas and closest thing I have found to Tex Mex since being here. Chips were fresh, warm, and salsa best I have had from a restaurant in several years. Nice heat and flavor, and my new place for when I have a craving as I could make meal out of that. Wife and I had Fajitas which were excellent and only recommendation is to give 4 5 tortillas per portion as they only gave 3 per portion. My adult daughter had taco salad and commented first time she had ever eaten a whole one in one sitting, so I know she liked. Service though was very off. Tried to order online but prices were zero out on many items. Gentleman took order over phone and I drove there. When I arrived and walked in, it was not crowded (Saturday night), but at least 2/3 full. No one was rushing around. Directly to left of coming in is small bar and a couple people here and one looked like getting order. There was no server station or stand near door so I just stood there a moment as person behind counter was talking. A couple people passed by me to wait tables, and I was not in hurry but only one standing there. I looked at people and all but called out and obvious I was waiting to either be seated or had ordered carry out. No one said anything to me. I waited maybe 2 minutes and door opens and a couple comes in. Lady who I know saw me looked right past me and asked how many to be seated and sat the couple. I was for a moment ready to walk out the door. After seating them she acknowledged me but no apology or anything. And when I explained I had ordered online, I still never really got any recognition until they gave me food and asked me to pay. We'll go back to have a sit down and then I’ll update rating.

Wanted something good and a little different and decided to try El Tapatio!!! Surely will go back!!! My grilled shrimp was on point and my cocktail was delicious . My husband enjoyed eating here also. This is really an Amazing place and the service is great too!!!!

Update: The food is still good. We tried a couple of different plates as we took the all of our kids, and everyone enjoyed it. Overall, good place to eat, but be prepared to pay a minimum gratuity if you have a larger family. Precious: We had the super chimichangas with beef tips, pork tamal and chicken and beef and chick tacquitos. Very delicious, waiter was attentive. Definitely come back in the future.

Good food, great service, our server was amazing our food was made quickly, and the chips were constantly brought. It was a great experience.

Food is always good here but our server was a little odd and forgot my husband's burrito. So we had to wait longer but other than that everything was delicious!
