Tortillas have RANGE, and we have proof. 🌮

Three very different ways to appreciate Mexican cuisine at Cafe El Tapatio:

1. Nachos: Housemade chips piled high with ground beef hash or chicken tinga, refried beans, salsa dulce, Chihuahua cheese, pico de gallo & sour cream.

2. Birria Pizza: Chile seared corn quesadillas stuffed with housemade beef birria, served broth, cilantro & onion.

3. Tacos: 13 different options. Because committing to just one is a little unreasonable.

Three personalities, one very hardworking tortilla. 🇲🇽
