- MMeganVIPPhiladelphia County •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe love Cafe El Tapatio and so does our 2 year old who requests to for “papatito” at least once/week. ❤️ Amazing authentic Mexican food, yummy spicy margs and the vibe is always on point. The Chicken Tinga is fire. Even our daughter thinks so as she adds it to her quesadilla.More infoCafe El TapatioPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Lakeview / East Lakeview•4.8
