    Popular casual Mexican spot. There's a cash discount but they do take credit cards. Friendly service and solid food. My friend and I came here for breakfast before heading over to the White Sands National Park. I got a Mexican omelette which came with your choice of flour or corn tortillas and home fries or hashed browns. They did give us chips and salsa for the beginning but the salsa was a bit watery. My friend got the huevos rancheros. Our food was filling and came out quickly. You pay at the cash register. Lots of people filled up the spot starting around 9am. Free parking lot in the front.

    Chicken tacos and enchiladas soooo yummy!

    The service was fast, the food was amazing, and the ambiance was so welcoming. I highly recommend that you try it.

    I haven't been to this cafe in YEARS. Not because of anything bad, just circumstances didn't allow. So when my husband and I were finally able to have lunch together yesterday I suggested that we go to Cafe East. The service was very friendly and I was very comfortable eating here because of the spacing measures and walls they have put up. The waiter was attentive, our food was served hot and delicious . 10/10 recommend.

    Very good Mexican breakfast. Service is quick. Don't expect too much but they do get the job done. I had enchilada montadas with hash browns instead of rice and beans.

    Amazing little place they are adding onto it so it's under construction or something in the back. The food is wonderful we will be back. They have there regulars that they know by name and order! I think that is amazing. My coffee never wen under half a cup the lady would come by and ask if everything was ok and fill are drinks. Amazing service and wonderful people with great food I would recommend coming here to try it you might just find you favorite little hole in the wall spot for a meal. We will be back

    Food so soggy, no flavor and cheese taste like plastic. Also, the salsa just taste like water.

    Good for breakfast, All Day. But nothing special ; good tacos, beans and tamales. Didn't care for the tortilla soup, rice or the enchiladas.

    El Taquito - Flautas- excellent!

    El Taquito

    (513 reviews)

    $$

    Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle. It's got heat as it's also creamy...I would call it medium (I like spicy food.) If you're getting them to go, you might want the sauce and toppings on the side. They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

    Stopped at El Taquito for breakfast during our move from WA to TX, and it was such a great choice…read more The staff was incredibly friendly, and the whole place had that warm, local-favorite vibe. We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!

    I think solid is a perfect word for this place. Not the best Mexican food I've ever had, but not…read morethe worst. I bumped it up to four stars for the super friendly service and the excellent aguas frescas. We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here. What you get is a good amount of decent food at a good price served by great people.

    Heard this place was good. I get there and am seated immediately. The waitress brought drinks…read morequickly and took my order. The combo plate sounded good. I ordered that and got a ton of food. The serving was huge. Everything looked fresh. When I finished, man, was i full. Everything on that plate was excellent. Good flavor. The place was clean and the people were nice. I only had one day but when i come back in town , I would eat here again.
