Our camera team was exhausted and very hungry after a heavy work day. We tried El Taconazo for the first time and we all absolutely loved their tacos! The service was also excellent 🌮🌮🌮

PERFECTION! All around! Everyone was so welcoming and everything was so wonderful! 🤤🤩👌 MUST HAVE THE CEVICHE! Blessed to taste the most traditional Mexican food! Had to order more to go! I wish we could have taken every sauce home! ¡Certificado por mi amigo mexicano de la piedad!

“The food was amazing I had the steak and shrimp fajitas.”
The food was amazing I had the steak and shrimp fajitas. When I say it felt like my granny was back there cooking how the food came out and everyone was polite and respectful. The steak was tender and juicy and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The birria tacos was a hit and that broth you can drink it alone if you wanted too. You can heat the excitement as we ate. This is definitely my new spot for late night eats 🫶🏼🫶🏾

“Amazing and reasonably priced.”
Amazing and reasonably priced. I had a fantastic birria torta, and my partner's carne asada burrito didn't survive 5 minutes. Our favorite part, however, was their homemade horchata, which was incredibly flavorful. Definitely worth your time if you're on the West side!
