Tapatios - Alpine
Tapatios
Description
Nestled in Alpine near a local brewery, this beloved Mexican spot earns praise for oversized, well‑seasoned burritos, standout fish tacos, carne asada and carnitas, and a lively salsa bar with five varieties (including a fiery habanero). Portions are generous, prices reasonable, and service friendly, with a pleasant terrace for dining. It’s a family‑friendly, worth‑the‑drive destination — currently temporarily closed for reconstruction after a recent fire.

We absolutely adore this restaurant! It's our family's go-to spot for Mexican food in the Alpine area. Everything I've tried here has been fantastic. I’m especially fond of their green sauce, while my husband can't get enough of the red sauce! I recently noticed the restaurant has boarded-up windows due to what seemed to be a fire. Our thoughts and well wishes are with the Tapitio's team during this reconstruction phase. We’re going to miss you while you’re closed!
Food was delicious and fast! The chicken was very good. Forget to put guacamole on a sequence of tacos, but for them safe. You did not get guacamole its pretty smooth as a saucethan a dip. We stopped there when we went back to San Diego. Taco bowls a tad greedy, but GREAT portions.
Yum! The food, especially the carnitas, is excellent. I had the carnitas torta, others in the group had the beef tamales, chicken and carnitas tacos and a California burrito. Everything was great and the staff was very friendly and nice. They also gave us ordering suggestions that were spot on.
The breakfast burrito was delicious and large enough to share. There were five different types of salsa to choose from. The terrace area was lovely for dining. The prices were reasonable. You really can't go wrong here. We'll definitely be trying the carne asada again.
This is the best fish taco I've had outside of San Felipe! New favorite taco shop in San Diego and I can't believe it's in Alpine! It's worth the drive though. I'll be coming out here a lot more often. The carne asada and the surf and turf were also great! I'll need to try more so I can see what else is good, but so far, not a single thing to complain about.
