“The best birria tacos!!”
The best birria tacos!!! 🌮 Their service was super good too! Never eat the chili 🌶️ from the pozole, I almost cried. But it was super authentic and full of flavor! I love it.

“My whole family loves this place.”
My whole family loves this place. The food is so delicious, the staff is really kind, the restaurant is always clean and well-staffed, and you really get your money's worth! I love their birria, pozole, and enchiladas rojas. Definitely give them a try!

“Besides the food tasting so good, the music, environment, and vibes were awesome.”
Besides the food tasting so good, the music, environment, and vibes were awesome. I’d say it is a great place to hang with friends. Aye, the workers are really nice and friendly. The only suggestion is having better content on TV. Oh, the horchata here tastes soooo good. Back to the workers, these folks are so hardworking. Yadira really is a real g 😎. The most underrated thing here is the dulce de leche treat. I’ve been going here since I was a kid—it’s my favorite Mexican food spot 🤍 Un saludo pa’ Lupita y el brother 😎

“I came home grom a long trip out of the country and felt right at home coming to El Taconazo El Tio.”
I came home grom a long trip out of the country and felt right at home coming to El Taconazo El Tio. The staff was so so sweet and the food was sooo good. I ordered a Gordita and taco. You can tell the tortillas are hand made too. And the portions were pretty good. Seriously I felt like I was at my own families home. Definitely support this business, it’s so authentic and delicious 😋

“Best tacos ever!!”
Best tacos ever!!! Lupita was amazing. I came with my friends very late and the 3 servers were very friendly. Lupita recommend the Birria tacos and they even gave us a sample to try them as we wanted to know difference between Birria and barbacoa . They’ were very good. I had lengua tacos, i asked for more as they were very amazing. The servicié was just so perfect. Friendly and very professional staff. Drove an hour to try them and I will come back

“I absolutely love this place.”
I absolutely love this place. First, I'm basic, kind of. I love asada tacos, they are a safe food for me, if they're good. Here, they are good. Everytime. The aguas are great, and everyone who's joined me has loved the different things they've tried. Last, the service is great. They're attentive and have excellent people working there. Highly recommend that you visit this authentic Mexican restaurant and support them, while benefitting from great food! Tonight it was Adriana, Janet, and Matilde who made me feel at home, like always, and I can't leave out Liz either.

“I haven’t ate at the restaurant but if the service and atmosphere is anything like the food it’s top notch then.”
I haven’t ate at the restaurant but if the service and atmosphere is anything like the food it’s top notch then. Food is so good you’ll definitely remember this joint. Even my picky coworker enjoyed every bite of their meal and wants to order from them all the time. If you’re in the mood for great Mexican food this is the spot!
