    Sister's day in Cody & Powell. We were coming back from Cody, had grocery shopping to do & decided to stop for lunch. Sis recommended this restaurant & it was all that she said it was. Decorations & ambiance were Mexican all the way. Service was impeccable & wait staff was very knowledgeable & friendly. Food was served quickly & hot enough to burn the roof of your mouth. Not to mention there was enough to feed a hungry lumberjack. LOL. We intend to be back & this place gets up!!

    We drive to Powell for this restaurant frequently. The food here is so good! This locally owned and managed restaurant has been around for many years. They have never waivered in service or value. I very highly recommend Powell WY's El Tapatio. It is the best restaurant in the entire Big Horn Basin. Most of my preference meals are not on the list below... just go, try something you think might be good. It will be! And reasonably priced as well.

    This place is my jam! The staff are incredibly nice, and the food is always fantastic. Never would have thought that Powell, WY would have one of the best Mexican restaurants I've even eaten at but here we are! It's always a treat and a great place to get a fantastic lunch.

    My favorite place of all time. I've been coming since they opened. I now live in NC, but every time I come home, I come here to eat. Excellent food, and amazing staff. Love it.
