My favorite place!! I’ve been coming for about 45 yrs. My mom use to bring us. One of her last meals before she passed. It holds a special place in my heart. Food is always good and fresh!

The lady at the drive through has the worst attitude. Now I know why they have the sign that says “we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”. It’s because I am pretty sure she has gotten cussed out by people or they have complained about her. Don’t work the window if you don’t want to deal with people because it looks like this women is rude all the time it’s not just “having a bad day”. One star because although the food is great, get better people for customer service.

I grew up in Downey eating El Taco. I love their quesadilla’s and falautas. They have a flavor that’s so different than others.

I’ve been coming for years here and I love this place ever since that old man retired there’s this other lady that works there she takes forever to answer you when you want to order and she gives you really bad attitude at the window if you don’t like working there then look for another place you’re supposed to be nice, impolite to your customers not run them away the older lady needs to get her act together

Quesadillas, red or green are amazing. Don’t forget to let them sit and cool down a bit. Much easier to eat! And, we can’t say enough about the chicken flautas. If we have time, we stop every time we are back in town. Worth making a special trip!

I have been coming to El Taco for almost 25 years! The service is not always stellar, but the food is comforting and consistent. One of the best cheese quesadillas, it is wrapped like a burrito, not just folded over once.
