About La Tapatia Mexican

Old Kern's Finest Place since 1960's!

La Tapatia is among one of the city's oldest Mexican Restaurants, it started in the 1960's.As more people learned of their authentic food and friendly service, La Tapatia became an old Kern favorite. Still in the family and still in the alley, Alma and Angel continue the tradition that Charles and Alex started. Our food is not trendy or flashy, it's simply Mexican.

We call this place The Alley--well because it is in an alley and if you do not know where you are going, you are not going to eat here. We usually meet family here for Sunday breakfast: chorizo and eggs, papas and beans--you know the good stuff. It cannot be beat.

Lots of fresh ingredients in everything, and the guacamole ruled. It's always nice to find a little lighted jewel like this in an otherwise complete wasteland.Try the chile relleno -- it has a different type of sauce than most you'll find, and it is mighty tasty. They only have wine margaritas, but they have a few Mexican beers, so that will do the trick. This isn't nouveau Mexican food, and certainly isn't anything fancy, but I sure think it's great! The wait staff is very friendly here as well.

    We eat here a lot and always enjoy the food. However, I decided to try the chicken alfredo and I didn't even want to eat it. The sauce and chicken both came out of a can, I am sure. But I would come back for the lasag
