Second time trying this restaurant. Each time it has hit the spot. The portion sizes are absolutely gigantic. We've had a couple different menu items as you can see in my photos. All of them have extremely amounts of flavor. I would definitely recommend this place.

I'm surprised that this place isn't rated better. We have been here twice now and the food is quite good. This place is huge and I can imagine renting it out for special events and parties! We had both of our favorites, carne asada and carnitas with rice and beans. The portions were fair for the price about $18-$20 a plate. They have a bar with margaritas, beer and wine plus all the regular drinks. The service was super fast and the staff were exceptional and very friendly. If you haven't tried them, I'd suggest giving them a try...

Arrived for happy hour in bar. Order bean dip and fried cheese stuffed chilis. Loved the chilis. Opted out of margarita specials and ordered expensive fresh squeezed margs. Small shaker holding little drink but strong. Ordered chicken chalupas which were priced right, good portion and yummy. Great interior w lots of booth and good service.

In the heart of Catedral Tapatia's charm, Savoring Chile Colorado, no qualm. An old church's embrace, Adds to the grace, Five stars, for flavor and historic balm!
