Lá Tapatia

Had 4 tacos and nachos locos with beef and it was so good!! Food and people there 10/10. Would highly recommend for anyone craving tacos and nachos with meat

Amazing authentic Mexican food and dining experience. This family owned business has been serving Racine for several decades. Stepping inside this establishment and smelling the fresh tortillas being made, along with the delicious Mexican food freshly being cooked, was an instant attention grabber. I love the small grocery store portion of the business. The owners run the entire operation from cooking, serving and being cashier. The friendly and accommodating service is over the top. My mother and I could've spent the entire day visiting with them. Such lovely people and the food is second to none. Amazing flavor, fresh and a authentic as it gets. The homemade pico is the best I've ever had! I recommend the combination plate. Try a little of everything. The portions are more than generous. Come hungry! We will be back. Beautiful people, service and food. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

Updated Review - 11/16/24: Once again…. The food was delicious! I normally get tacos when we go there, but this time I got a ground beef burrito. Wow! There is no way you can ever say they don’t fill their burritos with lots of meat. It was huge! I love La Tapatia! ————— Original Review: One of our favorite restaurants to get Mexican food from that is close by and in our neighborhood. The food is ALWAYS delicious! The service was incredible. Super friendly and helpful. We got our food to go. It was last minute, so I had to wait… but didn’t care. I looked around at all the fun and interesting items in the store part of La Tapatia. They have everything from beer, to milk, to produce, and more choices of hot sauce than I have ever seen! It makes sense to call in your order, so it is ready when you get there. I highly recommend La Tapatia!!!

This place was recommended by my friend from Chicago. Well I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the Carne Asada and it was delicious. It was a very generous plate as well. I'll have to go back and try different menu items

Fantastic local spot! Got the steak quesadillas and I am very satisfied!

The BEST ground beef taco I've ever had. Steak and Al Pastor as amazing as well. Lauro (the owner) makes you feel like family when you're here. And it was my cousin's cousin who told me to drive all the way from Central Illinois just to taste these tacos. It was worth the trip; after traveling extensively through Mexico and eating plenty of Mexican food between Tucson (where I was born) and San Antonio, I can absolutely confirm that this place has the best of the best. There's something special about your first bite in. The meat is steaming and the corn tortillas have a certain fresh, heated sponginess to them that can't be beat. The amount of toppings are perfect. And while my first bite added nothing, I was also just as happy to top it with a bit of Lauro's extra spicy salsa that he shared from his own family table. I also added a spot of sour cream. Wherever you're traveling from, consider yourself lucky if you've stumbled upon this place - or if you were fortunate enough to have a friend / family member recommend it to you directly. This spot is flavor central, with food that is authentic, fresh, and hot. It's clearly made with love, and you absolutely feel like family when you sit down. Don't do take out. It's worth the time to eat in and get the true experience that he's worked over 40 years to create.

This was our first time visiting the corner convenience store/kitchen, but it definitely will will not be our last. All three in the group decided on the same Barbacoa burrito with some tamales. Some in the group liked the pork over the chicken tamales, but both were good. But the burritos… They were to die for! Packed with steak, and the outside shell grilled to a crispy, flaky texture, we all killed those burritos in no time! We would all highly recommend stopping at this place to grab carry out before heading home. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best taco I've had. The corn tortilla is VERY DELICIOUS. Cash only. If i could give 10 stars I would.
