La Tapatia serves Mexican street food from its Roseville location on Snelling Avenue, with a food truck that travels separately for parties and events around the Twin Cities. The kitchen makes its tortilla chips in house and builds its menu around street-style tacos — carne asada, fish, shrimp, and al pastor loaded with pork, onion, and pineapple — alongside burritos, quesadillas, and esquite served in a mason jar. A burrito filled with beef cheek and carnitas topped with salsa verde have both developed followings among regulars.
The restaurant runs a full bar and offers a lineup of house salsas, including a version with real heat behind it. There's a patio for outdoor seating, and La Tapatia also handles catering for private parties and larger gatherings.
