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…
use the menu to keep track of prices...or you'll be cheated!

the last three, that's right, three, times my family and i have eaten at this place, the waitress has upped our bill by adding items we did not order OR changing prices from the menu...and each time for $3 to $4 bucks. now, while that may not seem like a lot, multiply that by the number of tables per day. we have never had this problem at the original "la tapatia" in the montrose...i would strongly recommend anyone who likes the restaurant to make the drive and go to the original place (even though it has moved further west on richmond)! also, the queso con chorizo is 10X better at the montrose restaurant...the stuff at the richmond/ chimney rock location is flavorless in comparison. we did wait months between trying the chimney rock la tapatia...hoping it was simply one bad apple. but, no! we will NEVER return...and when confronted, management supports the cheating and lying.
this place should be avoided like the plague...and i would rate it 1/2 star...except that's not an option!
- Pros: near our home
- Cons: the waitresses will try to rip you off EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!
good food, good times

I eat here regularly and my favorite things are a chicken burrito drenched in queso, and a nice strong margarita, and the mango margarita is good, too. Alejandra has waited on me several times and was super sweet!
- Pros: prices
- Cons: none
Good price

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
