EL TAPATIO – Mexican
El Tapatio has anchored West Vine Street in Kissimmee since 2012, when Oscar Perez opened the room on a promise of scratch-made Mexican cooking. Meats are marinated overnight in the kitchen's own spice blends before they hit the plate as carne asada, carnitas or fajitas, and the kitchen also turns out molcajete, camarones al ajillo, chiles rellenos and hand-folded tamales alongside the standard tacos, enchiladas and chimichangas. A wide tequila and mezcal list backs house margaritas at the bar. Thursday nights bring live marimba, while mariachi plays both Friday and Sunday afternoons, giving the dining room a lived-in, celebratory pull.
