Tapizôn 450 Main Street, El Segundo, CA 90245

"Very nice atmosphere with indoor and outdoor dining. I had their ahi crudo, which was not crudo but rather more like an ahi tatare. Was good but didn’t love it. Had their coconut milk curry cod which was good, but might not race to order it again. Service was pleasant."

"Quaint little place. All of the appetizers were amazing especially the bread-based ones. We were there with a group of coworkers and all of the entrees were delicious. The owner stopped by to see how we were doing and we had a great conversation. He even provided us a couple of desserts on the house which were also delicious. The drinks were based on a Brazilian rum and were all fantastic."

"I would not recommend the tacos. The filling is great but they are too dry and fall apart easily. They are so dry in some parts of the tapioca tortilla that it made me cough. The black bean soup is good but needed the hot sauce to add some vinegar. The Cheesy Dice are worth a try. The spicy acai sauce it came with was very good."

"I came to Tapizôn for an event where I got to try their food for free, but I will be back because the people, the food, the music, the location, and the overall atmosphere were awesome! The items I was able to try: CHEESY DICE 4.5/5 This was one of my favorites. I was expecting more of a cheese flavor, but that didn’t detract from the dish. They have a chewy inside with crunchy outside. Imagine fried tapioca and that’s what this is like. The real star of the show is the sweet and spicy açaí sauce; it is fantastic with this! I’ve never had anything like it. PUMPKIN SOUP VEGANA 3.5/5 I am a huge pumpkin soup fan, so I was really looking forward to this dish. Tapizôn’s version is vegan and thus lacks the heaviness from traditional recipes which include lots of cream. It had a ginger forward taste which I really enjoyed. My only comment is that in my opinion, it needed more salt. GARLIC FRIED CHICKEN 3/5 These had a very mild garlic flavor; it wasn’t in your face. Most of the pieces had a great crunch, but a few were soggy. The lemon added a good acidity and I loved the additional flavor of the pickled onions. The dipping sauce provided was togarashi mayo, although I didn’t taste a lot of togarashi. AHI TUNA CRUDO 5/5 This was another favorite. This was so flavorful and the fish was so fresh. Yum! And I loved the tapioca paper chips. MOQUECA 4.5/5 This was a very mild fish which is how I like ‘em! I loved the peppers in it which contrasted well with the coconut cream. My only comment is that this also seemed to be under salted. BRAZILIAN BRIGADIERO 3.5/5 This dessert was surprising due to its consistency; I expected it to be a spoonful of chocolate pudding but man was it thick! It took time to eat… which meant more time to savor the flavor. ORIGINAL CAIPIRINHA 4.5/5 I enjoyed this cocktail and would get it again. It’s both light and refreshing. Mine was very lime forward in flavor. I would like to try their passion fruit flavored cocktail next time! PRIMA PAVE - Rosé dolce 5/5 I wish I asked for a second glass of this! I love that this is a nonalcoholic alternative for people who like wine. In addition to the wonderful food, original caipirinha cocktail, and non-alcoholic wine- all of which were fantastic, we also had the good fortune to try different flavors of a Brazilian energy drink brand called Soda Bossa. SODA BOSSA 5/5 I tried the passion fruit, guayana berry, and dragon fruit Pitaya flavors. My favorite was the passion fruit, because I’m obsessed with the sweet and sour flavor of that fruit. My second favorite was the guayana berry, followed by my third, the dragon fruit Pitaya. However, all of them were good and definitely something I would buy instead of traditional/common energy drinks. Soda Bossa is a much healthier and tastier option. I had a wonderful time, ate some delicious food, and now know a new place to go to. I definitely recommend you give this place a try and bring friends so you can share several dishes. Your experience, of course, will be different because I was here for an event, but I hope it will be equally as wonderful. And I can recommend them if you’re interested in hosting an event there because they did a wonderful job."

"The Cheese Dice was super crispy and delicious and the acai sauce blow my mind, super taste but the Ceviche and the Pao de Queijo sliders was not that good, the Ceviche was salty and the Pao de Queijo was hard to chew."
