La Tapatia,

2730 East Snelling Ser Drive, Roseville, MN 55113

"So fresh and full of flavor. The chips are made to order with homemade salsas to pick from. You can tell that they really care about flavor. Our waiter was attentive and explained the menu! Definitely recommend for lunch or date night."

"Exceptional and authentic! The salsas are wonderful, and decently spicy. Highly recommend getting some grilled onions as a side with some street tacos."

"La Tapatia was recommended to us! We are so glad we had lunch there. The food is very fresh. Great combinations of flavors. We had the best waitress! They even brought out a complimentary desert for the "birthday boy"! Thank-you for making lunch fun!! PS. This restaurant is a place to go to for dinner!"

"La Tapatia 5 stars because the food really showed out! Authentic, flavorful Mexican food, definitely some of the best in Minnesota and felt like it was a hidden gem for sure. We came on a Saturday, at about 4/4:30, before the dinner rush, purposefully. Service: We were warmly greeted after entering their somewhat long hallway. Our server was helpful with the menu when we asked but never smiled. They weren’t busy at this time and I felt like they were attentive. Food: this is where they shine! We loved everything we ordered. We started with Queso Blanco, Guacamole and freshly made chips. Everything was good, particularly the chips. For our main course we ordered tacos and Burrito. The Tacos we ordered (which were all corn) included the Al Pastor (4/5) street style, Chorizo (5/5) Tejano style, Pescado (fried fish- 4/5), Camarones (grilled shrimp 5/5) Tejano style, Burrito was vegetarian (5/5). We also ordeeed a large rice, which was the best Mexican rice we have ever had. We loved all the salsas and tried each of them. The hot was hot but totally still enjoyable. The Salsa verde and Salsa Aguacate (w/avocado) were are favorites and both milder. The only drink menu we were given has beers on it (which neither of us usually do) but we shared a raspberry beer, it was nice. Unfortunately we were too full to try desserts but they looked delicious and I heard they are. Food portions are not large, so you definitely won’t feel like you’re overeating. They have gluten-free options, and vegetarian options so you can find something for almost everyone. Atmosphere: It was warmly decorated with high ceilings. It’s not a large place but I’m sure would accommodate a lot more if it were summer and the patio area was open for sure. It wasn’t loud but then again, we came before a rush. The seating is not the most comfortable, as it’s high tops or diner tables with metal chairs (high top chairs have no backs). It felt like a family/kid friendly area and lots to look at. You go for the food and you will be pleasantly surprised. I definitely recommend and we plan to come back!"

"This place is quite good! The tacos were tasty, juicy, and everything seem quite fresh! This was also my first time, trying a torta, which was absolutely delicious. The avocado was so very fresh, and the sandwich is self was delicious! Our server wasn’t the most friendly person ever but it didn’t completely take away from the tasty food experience. I was very pleased and will definitely come back."
