El Tapatio - Naples

Delicious, fast, fresh Mexican food. Outside looks like a part of an older motel, but cozy and welcoming inside. The place was almost full all the time, and even though the tables were turned around quickly, we felt no hurry. Portions were very large the pigs Tacos were my favorite of the a la carte plate I ordered. I think the bathroom could be outside the restaurant, but I guess the furnishings and chairs were not the same bright parrots as elsewhere.

Don't judge a book by it's cover would best describe this place. Small, quaint authentic Mexican restaurant. The homemade sauce that is served with the chips is spicy and authentic. We tried the enchiladas, gorditas, taco and quesadilla with an assortment of meats. All were delicious, fresh and properly prepared. This is definitely one of those little local places people talk about and will always be on our list as one of the better authentic Mexican restaurants in Naples.

Holy mackerel! This place is an undiscovered gem in Naples. We were hiking in lely, and found El Tapatio nestled off 41 between a gas station and a small apartment strip. We waited a few mins for a table to be cleare (top to bottom wipe down and everyone was wearing masks) and it couldn't have been more amazing. We got sope and gorditas- steak was piping hot and the vegeterian option was unrivaled. However, you can stop without getting an order of guacamole. Put this place on your list!

The most authentic Mexican food in Naples. Absolutely delicious food, the staff is super friendly and the best micheladas ever.

I had my first visit to the restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere was cozy, the customer service was friendly, and the guacamole was delicious.
