Editorial Review for La Tapatia Taqueria – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
A bustling dining room with mustard walls is lit by neon advertising signs. A full bar on the right greets customers, while a fountain adds some soothing trickling. Televisions and a jukebox pick up the pace.
The Food
These kitchens offer perfectly straightforward shrimp tacos: eight to ten small, grilled shrimp, folded into double corn tortillas lined with a bed of sharp white onions and cilantro. The tortas (sandwiches), built on toasted bolillos (small loaves of Mexican bread) are smeared with refried beans and sour cream, and your choice of fried fajita, pork al pastor or chicken breast. Soups are excellent, but enchilada platters and the like are too greasy. Overall, the food is hearty, if a little Spartan, but you can spoon on either of the two good table salsas to add some flavor.

The food at lunch time was excellent. It came out in 5 mins after I ordered and was piping hot and fresh. Yummy enchiladas and taco. 7 dollars for 2 enchiladas a taco, rice and beean plus a tea. Great food and service

When I was a student at UST (1992), I discovered the great TexMex food at LaTapatia and for $5.00 you fed 2 people easily. I love TexMex and I have tried all sorts of restaurants with outstanding reputations for latin cooking. Now I live on DC and when I visit Houston I head directly to LaTapatia because the authentic tacos (barbacoa, carnitas, & shrimp), tortas, tilapia, enchiladas are excellent! It has been fun introducing LaTapatia to my friends that venture to Houston with me and as much as they enjot Papadeaux's they talk about the food at my favorite tacqueria. Try it!!!
