Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

It's not bad, but it's not great either. Very mid grade quality food and service. The inside is filled and decorated with cheap chinsy type decorations. The price is very fair and they really do load you up with chips and salsa. The service can be really good some nights and pretty awful other nights. Try the queso dip if you go.

Love the chips and addictive salsa! Street legal salsa! The food is made to order , relatively quickly, and always HOT! (temperature not spicy) You can't help but take a bite even when warned. If you look around you will notice others showing the international sign of eating something temperature hot. "Hee! HEee! Haaa! Hooo! Whooo!" My favorite is the fish tacos, or Letter E. My honey loves the Steak Fajitas and the kids love the tacos and enchiladas. Love their rice, and if you can manage to fit in some dessert do it! The portions are large and worth taking home with you just to try the desserts. Fried Ice Cream or Sopapillas are both a family favorite. The four of us usually share a Fried Ice Cream as again, the portions are large. Totally worth the stop, and worth taking home the left overs as they are just as delicious re-heated. lol

Probably 3.5 stars but I will bump them up half a star. The staff was very friendly and cordial. Large variety on the menu and attentive service. Food came out quickly and was hot. I had the catfish fajitas which were decent quality. Dining area is a bit loud during peak hours and the chairs although very artistic and cool looking and not comfortable to sit in for very long. Not many choices in Willmar but this is one of your better ones.

I went here for work lunch. I ordered a beef burrito with rice and beans. my coworker ordered a chicken taco salad. The server was very nice and prompt to bring us our drinks. My meal was not seasoned very well not the typical Mexican food that i am accustomed to. The Rice was very bland and the beans were to the burrito was decent. My coworker was not impressed with her taco salad contained only a few pieces of chicken chunks instead of shredded chicken. One tomato was on top of the taco salad but no other tomatoes were in the salad. The service was good but I will not be eating here again.

Horrible service! Our waiter looked about 12 and he struggled even getting water to us. The salsa was Pace Picante sauce with bits of cilantro added. Some people were half way done eating before others were even served and others finished their meals before their tortillas were brought out. The food didn't taste bad but the meal was hard to enjoy.

On a trip out of town my husband and I wanted to try a local resturant. We stopped by and were not disappointed. The seasoning was excellent. The meat had a tasty char that added to the flavor. I have a weak pallet for spice heat and it was just right. Well done all around. The service as fast and friendly.

Food was great. As a born and raised southern Cali girl I was impressed for the area. Ordered the shrimp fajita salad~ full of flavor and not too filling. My husband got the carnitas. We were both happy. Not so happy with the margarita, otherwise it would have been four stars.

Food was good and fairly quick. Ordered a bottled beer and they even brought out a frozen mug with it! Perfect!! Only downfall was their outdoor sign showed domestic taps for $1.50 during NFL games. Pretty sure the NFL has been done for almost two months.....update your sign and bring back some drink specials!

All right the food taste good and good service. But I though it was Mexican food . It is so Texican food with ground beef tacos . I was just expecting acutal Mexican food. and the margriats are premixed
(3)Christian M.
Very consistent food and service. I would certainly suggest it if you are looking for a good tex-mex menu.
(4)Nathan H.
Great food, great service. Really good chips and salsa. Menu is very reasonably priced, almost on the inexpensive side.

I read some hood reviews so i thought i would giveu it a try. Exactly what you would expect in a typical mn mexican restaurant. Do these mexican places get their food from the same store? Meh. Wish I'd gone to Persopolis. 5x better.

I went to El Tapatio per the recommendation of the hotel manager and I can see why he recommends it. The restaurant is decorated like a kids playground but don't let that scare you away. The food is great! I'm not going to call this "authentic Mexican" but it's better than your typical Tex-Mex. I started with the chips and salsa which were good. I don't like chips that are too flimsy and break into a million pieces when you bite into them (ahem El Rodeo). I ordered the Shrimp Fajitas and wasn't really sure what to expect with the shrimp but they were actually pretty good in size and they give you a fair number of them. I just ate them right off the skillet since I consumed almost the entire basket of chips on my own but the meal was still good without the tortilla! I had to take a lot it home (again, please refer to the fact that I ate almost the entire basket of chips by myself) and it still tasted good reheated the next day! I did find it a little strange that the waitress kept calling me "lady" but I chalked that one up to a cultural difference. I don't know when I'll be back in Wilmar but I'll be making a stop at El Tapatio when I do go back!

Ordered pickup and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. By the time I got back to the hotel it wasn't quite as hot as I would have liked it but even so it was still the best Mexican food I've ever had! I will definitely be going back again. Great prices, but they do charge $0.25 for pickup, odd.
