“Incredibly delicious! The cabeza taco was one of the best I ever had. Highly recommend!”
“Hace unos días tuve el placer de probar las gorditas aquí y son unas de las mejores que he probado. Les recomiendo a todos que pasen a El Tata! Recently, I was in this area with a craving for Gorditas. I stopped by El Tata and I was blown away. I had 1 gordita de asada and 1 quesadilla de Cesina. Both the gordita and quesadilla were handmade. The meat included in both dishes was SO FLAVORFUL and the portions were huge. The place is casual and it’s cash only. I bought 3 gorditas and 1 quesadilla and spent under $20. This place is a steal in my opinion, given the food, portions and service. Also, the owner was the only person there when I stopped in and he was extremely friendly. He talked to me about spirituality, his family and his upbringing in Mexico. The energy here is great and I recommend it to everyone.”
