“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. 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 🫶🏼🫶🏾”
“We stopped by as this was one of my favorite taco place. Well $20.00 for a Burrito and it wasn’t even big and $5.00 for 1 taco plus $4.50 for the salsa, chips and sour cream. $6.00 for a cup of Horchata just a regular cup. It is NOT worth it. The food wasn’t even good and restaurant wasn’t clean enough.”
“De que sirve ordenar para recoger si te dicen que en 10 minutos está listo y llegas a recoger la comida y se tardan 14 minutos mas por un simple pozole 😡😡😡y eso que soy el único cliente en el restaurante 😡😡😡😡🥵”
“Esta muy mal servicio la mesera una vez ledije si me puede darme un poquito aroz más en vez de la tortillas medijo que nooo compré 🌯 burrito esta muy salada”
“Amazing experience! The tacos were absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and full of flavor in every bite. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made everything even better. Highly recommend this spot for some of the best tacos around”
“I absolutely love this restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming every time I visit. One of my favorite things is their salsa — it’s SO good! I always end up asking for an extra cup of salsa to go because I can’t get enough of it. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and amazing service!”
