The restaurant is simple yet fairly clean. The low rating is based on value and flavor. I got a Carne Asada burrito -$9.50. (it arrived luke warm). The burrito was mainly refined pinto beans (good flavor) and spanish rice (not good), there was a little meat, but it was dry and had no flavor. I also got a Carne Asada taco-$3, it too was luke warm. The meat had no flavor and dry. The salsa was very watered down & bland, it wasn’t like any salsa I ever seen or tasted. The Nachos ($9) were a good size, it had a good amount of Carne Asada and other ingredients, the chips were bot traditional, has a corn meal flavor. It was good, but we had better. The prices are high for a express restaurant (like Chipotle or Taco Bell) I cant say this food is authentic. Its not a good sit down restaurant. The price isn’t worth the value and flavor or lack there of. Is why we wouldn’t return.

Incredibly reasonable prices for 2 tacos, rice, and refried beans with all the fixings!! I’ve not gotten anything from El Taco Riendo that I haven’t enjoyed. No fancy decorating but who cares?? I’m all about the quality of the food. Superb.

Second time eating here. I do agree sometimes the taste or ingredients are hit or miss but for the most part the food is tasty. My friend had the giant burrito and I had the Al pastor tacos with an elote. The pastor and Elote was pretty good. The rice could’ve been better. It didn’t seem like it had much seasoning. I did notice that this place gets a lot of orders going out so service can be spotty.

2 of the 5 times I’ve been there, they’ve forgotten items in my takeout order. Today, they forgot shells and salsa for my platillo combo, and they gave me a horchata from their fridge that had been there long enough for the milk to separate from the rice/spices. The food is actually pretty good but I won’t be returning.

Food is always exceptional, even though I never know what to order. I usually end up getting the Alambre, which is amazing, but I should be more adventurous and try more things.

Food is great but the service, not so much.

As soon as you walk in you can tell this place is indeed very special. It’s warm and inviting as too were the folks that work behind the counter.
