What User doesn't like about El Tapatio:
I don’t recommend you come here. The food is salty and didn’t seem fresh, the price was too high for the quality of the food. I ordered tostadas and they were not crunchy as I’m used to, also the servers claimed to be “too busy” to make the drinks requested and asked me to just get a soda! Please, if you’re looking for a good family place with authentic food this isn’t it!! View all feedback.

"From the beginning to the end, The Palace has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. We knew immediately from our tour with Richard that this was the venue we’d be getting married in, as he was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. My planner, Antonia, answered all of my questions for the last two years with patience and promptness, and was extremely supportive. When I met my maître d’, Josh, I absolutely knew we were in good hands. He reassured me with how detail oriented and meticulous he was with his timeline and organization. Not once did he seem annoyed or upset at me for my anxious brain, and kept me calm and centered. A huge unfortunate event occurred during my wedding day in which my husband and three of his groomsmen got into a serious car accident on the way to the venue that left the car completely totaled and two of my groomsmen to be brought to the hospital. By some miracle, they made it to the ceremony and Josh was able to work with his team to push the wedding back by only 10 minutes. He constantly asked me for what I needed, and was there every step of the way with the bridal attendant, Anahi. We had fresh fruits, charcuterie, drinks, and hot foods replenished all throughout the day while getting ready. When bumps occurred along the road, Josh quickly resolved them. He truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us. Not only did Josh pack us extra entrees to go and upgrade our lighting, he surprised us with a creme brûlée and cannoli station during the Viennese hour! He also gave my MOG an extra side of whipped parsnips that she was craving, and offered an extra meal for my groomsmen who were in the accident out of the kindness of his heart. It meant so much to us to hear how dedicated him and his team were to ensuring that our guests were taken care of. Everything was impeccable from start to finish with the Palace, that my husband and I both felt like weren’t just “clients” they served but almost like family. I wish I could get married all over again here, and we are truly joyful to have had our wedding here with The Palace."

"Good quality. Good portions of food. You will not be disappointed. Price was a bit high for two plates and 1 appetizer but the way things are today everything is much higher than before."
