El Tapatio
For fans of Mexican spice, El Tapatio is Yankton’s premier Mexican restaurant with an equally buzzy atmosphere. With 100 percent authentic recipes brought from the State of Jalisco (also the home of the Mariachi music you’ll find playing in the background), it’s safe to say the dishes are as traditional as they are delicious. The dinner combinations are a great way to sample the menu and come highly recommended. Tostadas, chimichangas, enchiladas and, of course, burritos are certified winners with customers. The festively colored restaurant and friendly staff are as inviting as the meals they serve.
2. Murdo's On The River
Murdo’s On The River
As the name suggests, Murdo’s On The River has an unbeatable location overlooking the Missouri River. The outdoor decking is the perfect place to enjoy a cold beer with friends. One of Yankton’s best restaurants for meat eaters, Murdo’s On The River has a menu of classics such as surf ‘n’ turf (with Canadian walleye and sirloin steak), spicy orange chicken wings, and rack of ribs, which are among the highlights. Regulars note that both the food and service are consistently top-notch. Weekends and evenings are usually busy, but the scenic views alone will be worth the wait.

The classic but hearty meals will be a treat for any appetite, in-house aged steaks (the whisky sirloin is particularly good), authentic pasta bowls such as Caprese shrimp capellini and healthy, freshly tossed salads are excellent.

And for an alternative to sushi, try the hibachi and spicy tempura.
