"June 25, 2022: Today, I had the Surf & Turf Burrito, wet with salsa verde. This burrito is massive! It's both delicious and filling, so be careful not to overindulge in chips or you might not be able to finish it! June 11, 2022: I tried the Camarones a la Plancha for lunch today, and it was fantastic! The plate featured plenty of perfectly pan-fried shrimp, along with rice, beans, salad, and shredded lettuce. June 4, 2022: We dined there for the first time and I ordered the Chile Verde dinner. The pork was tender, and there was an abundance of delicious food! May 21, 2022: The Albondigas Soup is truly delightful, filled with four tasty meatballs. May 8, 2022: The Birria was perfect on a cool spring day! It’s a hearty bowl of beef soup, loaded with flavorful beef, and paired with freshly made tortillas—there was no room left for dessert! April 24, 2022: The Super Tacos live up to their name and are even better on Sundays when they're served with homemade tortillas, which are only made on that day. Just a note, this restaurant is relatively new, having opened about 10-11 months ago. Any reviews older than that likely refer to the previous establishment. April 3, 2022: I had the street tacos today, featuring four different fillings, and they were excellent! Next time, I plan to try the Super Tacos made with their own tortillas. The owner mentioned they could make the street tacos using their homemade tortillas. March 20, 2022: I sampled the Carne en su Jugo, a special dish from the owner's home state of Jalisco. It was scrumptious! This beef stew, which comes with bacon, beans, diced onions, and avocado, also includes fresh tortillas. They even showed me the process of making them to order in the kitchen. Check out the pictures I took of the process! March 13, 2022: I think this is a new restaurant that has opened in place of another Mexican restaurant that closed down during the pandemic. Therefore, any reviews prior to this should not be associated with El Tapense. March 13, 2022: We loved the place so much last Sunday that we returned to try more dishes from their menu! First, we had the Vegan Sopa Azteca—what a creamy, rich soup, more like a stew! Next was the Albondigas Soup, perfect for a cool, cloudy day. I would happily order it again after I’ve had a chance to explore other menu items. Finally, we enjoyed the Two Vegan Enchiladas again! We can’t wait to return next Sunday to try something else from the menu, and hopefully, we’ll have the chance to enjoy some freshly made tortillas! March 6, 2022: This was our first visit to El Talpense. We arrived right as they opened on Sunday, eager to try their extensive menu, which spans 7-8 pages and includes a variety of vegan items along with classic Mexican fare. I ordered the Chorizo Con Huevo, Al Pastor Taco, chips, and guacamole. We definitely plan to return next week to sample more dishes from that impressive menu. I asked the owner if they plan to offer a vegan version of the Chorizo Con Huevo, and they are working on it to match the deliciousness of what I had today!"

"We had eaten at this location frequently over the last several years. We usually get a large take out order for the whole family. There have been frequent errors in getting the order correct with items often left out. Despite that, we continued to go there for the convenience and decent tasting food. However, the last couple of times have been different. 2 times ago the meat was spoiled and smelled badly. The manager/phone person claims not to know how to refund a credit card over the phone so we had to actually take the meat back to them for a refund. Last time they messed up the order and put cheese on all items meant for two people in our party with a severe dairy allergy. We had very specifically told them about the importance of this given the huge health risk and they had heard this numerous times in the past. Upon calling them, the manager/phone person said sorry bro, what can I do, they messed up in the kitchen. He took no resposibility nor really cared about a significant mistake. And again we had to return to the restaurant for a refund on food that we couldn 't eat. We have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they have gone down hill in quality of food, and service, and simply don 't care. Mistakes happen and that 's understandable, but they absolutely do not take responsibility or try to fix them in a reasonable way. We have eaten here for the last time."
