Tampico Restaurant

"This place is not Mexican at all the food had no mexican spices. It has probably never had a Mexican cook or employee. The salsa was more like warm tomato soup. The meat in every dish was plain with no flavor or spice at all. Will never eat here again. Go somewher..."

Tampico is a very good Mexican restaurant, and possibly one of the better restaurants in the general area. Morgan City is not exactly known for their fine dining, so the competition is low; regardless, it is clear that Tampico goes above and beyond to make the experience in their restaurants authentic and memorable.

This restaurant is located in a largely abandoned strip mall complex, and if it had not been recommended by a friend, I likely would  not have "just stopped in." The restaurants exterior is not very appealing, but there really doesn't seem to be much they can do about that...

The food was very good... the homemade chips and salsa were great, especially with the noticeable "kick" to the salsa. Its rare that you find a good spicy and hot salsa in restaurants today... some would find it too much, but for me, it's perfect.

Today they had an awesome steak dish... it was two fajita steaks stuffed in between with a chipotle cheese mix. It was SO good... I really enjoyed it and will look for it again on the menu next time I stop in.

BOTTOM LINE: Best place to eat in Morgan City? Quite possibly so.

It's a great place to eat mexican food and socialize with friends.
