5.0 of 5 stars. Whenever I am hungover, I crave a super burrito with carne asada from La Tapatia. They are the best! Thank you, La Tapatia, for making my hangovers more bearable.

4.0 of 5 stars. I grew up eating La Tapatia so I am biased, but I have not found better carnitas anywhere. I typically order a super burrito with carnitas, refries, little rice, and extra, extra hot.

They make great burritos here, in addition to awesome salsa and the best guacamole ever. The service isn't the greatest and the atmosphere is lacking but since it's only take-out anyway it doesn't matter much.
