Nuestra Historia
Welcome to El Tapatio — named for the proud people of Jalisco, Mexico. We bring the soul of Guadalajara to the heart of Gatesville, Texas, with sizzling fajitas, handcrafted salsas, and the kind of warmth that makes every guest feel like family.
From our fire-grilled parrilladas to our slow-cooked birria, every dish is a tribute to the bold, festive spirit of Jalisco. Open seven days a week across two locations — always ready to welcome you.
Bold Guadalajara flavors, traditional recipes.
Domestic & imported beers, micheladas.
Available at our East location only.
Open Daily 6AM–10PM · Two locations.
