About us
Our Story
Our story is one of family, tradition, and a love for authentic Mexican culture and cuisine that transcends borders.
Our journey began in the vibrant city of Guadalajara, Mexico, a place where the air is filled with the tantalizing aroma of sizzling tacos, joyful mariachi music and the folklore of charrería, our beloved national sport. Our family, with generations steeped in the art of charrería, has always had a passion for sharing our rich cultural heritage and culinary delights.
Inspired by our roots and driven by a dream to share our love for authentic Mexican cuisine, we embarked on a journey that led us to the beautiful shores of Tampa Bay. Here, we opened Taco Tapatío, a taqueria that serves as a bridge between our past in Guadalajara and our present in Tampa Bay.
Our Food
At Taco Tapatío, we bring you more than just street tacos; we bring you an experience. Our menu is a savory journey through the streets of Guadalajara, featuring traditional dishes prepared with love and authenticity. Each bite is a celebration of our heritage, crafted from recipes passed down through generations and perfected over time.
We take pride in crafting our food through traditional methods like nixtamalization, real mesquite wood in our grills and no artificial flavors or chemicals, just like tradition and love calls for.
Our Commitment
Our connection to charrería goes beyond sport; it’s a symbol of our commitment to tradition and excellence. This commitment is reflected in our restaurant, from our warm, rustic decor that echoes the spirit of our family to our friendly staff who serve you with the hospitality Mexico is known for.
We believe that food has the power to bring people together and create lasting memories. Whether you’re joining us for a quick bite or celebrating a special occasion, we’re committed to making your experience at Taco Tapatío as memorable as the stories that brought us here.
Welcome to our family!
