I don’t give a perfect rating lightly. I went with coworkers for lunch, and they were talking it up like an authentic Chipotle. This restaurant was clean, literally spotless. The two girls working the front line were attentive, and for the 30 minutes, we were there and did not once check their phones. They were cleaning or assisting the chef the entire time. The chef greeted us as we walked in and said thanks for coming as we left. I have and will continue to recommend giving this restaurant a try if you are in the area!

I got food poisoning from here and had to go to a hospital the same night.. the food wasn’t tasteful but the torta de pastor made me really sick and I have a pretty tough stomach for the most part. Maybe I just had bad luck,no disrespect. Not for me.

Wish I would have tried El taco sooner. I got a burrito bowl and two tacos. Wish I had more tacos they were so good.

A better, more Mexican-authentic version of Chipotle. Basically the same setup as the chain but with authentic sauces and meats. Very clean inside.

We stopped in and went in the drivethru and we ordered chicken quasadilla with sour cream and cheese and a steak and rice bowl with black beans and corn salsa sour cream and guacamole. That was the very best bowl I have ever had and it was only $22.00 for the whole order that included drinks and it was so much food we had to take half of it back with us. Awesome

I’m putting 1 star because I have to select at least 1 to write a review. If I could put ZERO stars I would. You don’t even deserve a star eL tAcO. Ordered through a delivery service. Tacos, chicken burrito, chicken quesadilla, tortilla chips, and 1 horchata. Driver gets here with 1 TIED “el mercado fresco” GROCERY bag. No drink. We open the bag, No tacos, 1 $11.99 STEAK burrito (because it’s understandable for a TACO RESTAURANT to run out of one of the most popular meats on a Friday evening right?.. sure. WHICH WAS ALSO RIDICULOUSLY TINY AND LACKING PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING RESEMBLING ANY FLAVOR AT ALL), 1 $11.29 STEAK quesadilla (INEDIBLE. FLIMSY. PAPER THIN. TASTELESS MEAT. CHEESE? SURE IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL IT), 1 bag of some really salty really greasy chips. 1 cup of SUBPAR “salsa”, AND LAST 1 box of churros (undercooked, disgusting, with some kind of dipping sauce cup that looked and smelled horrendous of which we couldn’t even identify) to make up for not having chicken. So like any average person we call the restaurant and ask about the missing food. They answered us with “WE GAVE THE DRIVER 2 BAGS AND A DRINK. THE MISTAKE ISN’T ON OUR END” so we call the driver and he says no they gave him 1 bag. I figured the driver was telling the truth and then LO AND BEflippingHOLD, not 5 minutes later did the driver call back saying HE CALLED THE RESTAURANT AND THEY ADMITTED TO HIM THAT THEY ONLY GAVE HIM 1 BAG…. I wouldn’t really be upset about the missing food if the quality was half decent but man.. don’t claim to be a Mexican kitchen with what you guys are dishing out. Not even the TORTILLAS were passible. No reliability on service, no quality on product. Also… What Mexican restaurant actually sells chicken wings?
