Fodor's Expert Review El Tapatio

This small, colorful cantina inside a modest-looking former fast-food restaurant is part of an affordable and consistently good chain. Spend any time waiting for a table perusing the astoundingly long menu's mix of Americanized and authentic Mexican dishes, including charcoal-grilled carne asada and mariscada a la diabla (real crab legs, tilapia, scallops, octopus, and jumbo shrimp cooked in a spicy sauce). Mojitos, margaritas, and other colorful cocktails are served, too.
