Have you ever noticed that when we step outside of our comfort zone, even just a little bit, we often stumble upon the most amazing hidden gems? Maybe we prefer our go-to restaurants when we’re hungry, but we keep driving past a cute but unassuming eatery that some might even call a hole-in-the-wall. Instead of heading to our trusty go-to, we stop at that one place that’s had our eye and discover one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Don’t be surprised if that’s what happens when you stop by this tiny restaurant in Osage Beach, Missouri.

Nothing quite cures a hungry stomach like the flavorful and authentic Mexican dishes served at Taqueria La Tapatia in Osage Beach.
