Our Story

Not Fast Food.
Fast Good.

Tampico Mexican Restaurant has been a fixture in Smithton since day one — a place where the scent of cumin and grilled onions hits you before you even open the door.

We don't cut corners. Our meats are marinated daily, our salsas are made from scratch, and our tortillas are pressed fresh. That's not a marketing line — that's just how we've always done it.

Whether you're grabbing a quick taco lunch on Main Street or settling in for a family dinner, Tampico is where real Mexican flavor comes to Smithton.
