About
Established since 1962, Tampico is a restaurant
offering traditional and Tex-Mex cuisine at
moderate prices in a Hacienda style environment.
Tampico's food is different than typical Mexican
food in several ways. Our food is lighter, uses
more mesquite grilling, and has a greater variety
of tastes. On every plate there is typically three
or four unique tastes. In general, our total menu
takes Mexican food and uses modern cooking
techniques seen in contemporary American
restaurants. Words such as "freshness", "healthy",
"grilling", "light", "colorful", and "unique
ingredients" all help describe our food.
Our cantina offers the customer a hip, friendly,
and lively environment. Our signature drink is our
Tampico Margarita. Our margarita is hand made and
hand shaken. It combines Sauza Giro Gold tequila,
Cointreau, and Grand Marnier with our sweet and
sour mix, creating a refreshing margarita that
doesn't have the extreme tartness of other
margaritas. We also offer an extensive list of
tequilas, a full range of liquors, a wide variety
of imported beers, and a small but excellent wine
list. Our wine list features several wines by the
glass. Our Happy Hour features hors d'oeuvres and
a variety of salsas.
Tampico prices are moderate, resulting in our
ability to offer our fine food for an excellent
value. Our music is Latin Contemporary, and our
decor projects a simple Mexican Hacienda look. Our
overall atmosphere is South of the Border,
informal, and high-energy.
