    Chicken Quesadilla
    Robert R.

    Place has been here for a bit and I remember going here frequently until we moved across town. Now we are back in the neighborhood and it is still solid and reliable as it used to be. Consistent and great tasting food is why I used to frequent this establishment. I had ordered a few things for the family for takeout and the gals were friendly and helpful. I had ordered a Chicken. Quesadilla and a few other items. It was ready really quick and I got a few of their salsas which were also tasty. Definitely going to go and get more of their items like Tacos and other fare.

    Carnitas Tacos

    Our favorite (almost weekly) place for authentic Mexican food! Friendly and always clean and quick! Great food! I get a Regular Chili Verde burrito (wet) and he gets soft carnitas and or chicken tacos. Never disappoints! So yummy!

    This is what I call the " best hidden gem on the periphery of Concord, CA ". If you are craving for burritos, tacos, Chile Mole, Fajitas, Nachos and other authentic Mexican food, this is the place to be. Bring your family and friends and enjoy what ever your palate desires in their menu. The food is flavorful and I'm very sure your tastebuds will surely enjoy a whole new world of flavors. The price of their meal is very reasonable. The staffs are courteous and professional. The interior space is ample for your family and friends. The design concept of the interior is well thought. I believe the theme concept of the interior is a " Rustic Revival ", an industrial farmhouse decor ideas. The theme provides a contrasting elements, evoking the simplicity of farmhouse house decor and the rugged charm of industrial aesthetics as shown by the metal feature surrounding the incandescent light bulbs. You will surely feel at home. How can you resist great food, excellent service and a relaxing ambiance. The place is clean and very organized. I highly recommend the place for special family events. This place is also great for your everyday dietary needs. After a tiring day at work, this is the place to be........ to relax and enjoy a hearty and flavorful meal with your loved ones and friends.

    Crispy chicken tacos plate - Yummy!
    Shayla B.

    ***3.5 Stars*** A solid option for fast casual Mexican cuisine. If you know me, you know I love me some Mexican food. Especially when it's good and cheeeaap! Mm hmm. Concord has a TON of wonderful taquerias and I'm on a mission to try them all. Literally. Came here for a quick dinner about a month ago and this little place definitely hit the spot. They have a cute little outdoor patio area setup in front of their building. Since it was a nice day out, decided to dine outside. There's no table service here and they're still using to-go containers whether you dine there or take it to go. They are still closed for indoor dining (it's a tiny space, so it'll probably be a while before that happens any time soon). Their menu is pretty simple but still full of most Mexican food faves. I came here for the crispy tacos. I've been in search of a replacement crispy taco spot ever since the last taqueria that I used to frequent for them let me down hard. Ordered at the counter and the ladies were really pleasant. One thing to note is that they charge a fee if you're paying with your card, and I believe that this is regardless of how much you spend. Womp womp. But honestly, it's not that bad. Plus, they give you free chips and salsa and I'm ALL about that life. And, they're actually really yummy too. All of their salsas are pretty bomb, but my favorite so far is their hot red salsa. It has a wonderful kick to it. Price-wise, I'd say that they're pretty on par with the other taquerias in the neighborhood. So about those tacos; me likey... me likey a lot! They were beautifully deep fried and stuffed with fresh lettuce and cheese. Also really enjoyed the crunch factor. I ordered them with chicken. While the chicken wasn't the most flavorful that I've ever had, the meat was pretty juicy. The only thing that was missing was all of the other condiments that you'd typically find on crispy tacos. You know... sour cream, pico de gallo, and even just plain tomatoes. They only serve their crispy tacos with cheese and lettuce. Hmmm. Def need more than that on my tacos, but they were still yummy nonetheless. The beans and rice were both very flavorful and they tasted authentic. Portions were adequate for the price. Also had their horchata and is tasted perfect. You can definitely tell that it's homemade. There's tons of parking since this taqueria is located in a large shopping complex with several other businesses. Cinco De Mayo is actually a small taqueria chain that has a few other locations in both Martinez and Concord. This was my first time ever trying them, and I would definitely come back again if I was in the area. Just hoping that they'll add some more toppings to their crispy tacos in the future because I really do enjoy them.

    Carnitas Taco
    Glenn L.

    Just came in for a quick bite and kept it simple - carnitas soft tacos and shrimp soft tacos. The carnitas tacos were on small corn tortillas, so more in line with street tacos. Just some onion and cilantro and a squeeze of lime and they were good to go. Pretty juicy so get some napkins. The shrimp tacos were a little bigger and had this chipotle sauce and cabbage - very good. I am looking forward to trying some other items.

    Grilled chicken super burrito no beans.

    I have gone here since 2007/08 of course prices went up everything has gone up. As far as down hill....not at all This place has gone up. It was always a good place but the last few years we frequent cinco at least once a week. Food is always hot. and good. I prefer the grilled chicken as my meat here. Chile relleno is good, wet burrito has been my go to lately. But I always recommend the grilled chicken taco at least 4! We also get the Al pastor a lot as well. Rice and beans are always consistent. I always order my burritos without beans and they fill my burritos with plenty of meat and not skimp since I order no beans and I love that. The ladies are never rude to us they are always sweet and food is served up fairly quick. The girl at the front is always nice and We even joke because they recognize us being regulars. We usually get takeout but I know it is still a popular place for the high school still too. A nice local small business and happy we have them right in the neighbir

    My al pastor burrito.  It was amazing!!!!!

The zucchini was cooked perfectly and not overcooked or soggy at all, which made the whole burrito taste fresh and flavorful.

Everything paired together really well and had a lot of flavor without feeling too heavy. I also tried the mango margarita with tajín on the rim and really liked it because it wasn't overly sweet. Super refreshing and balanced. The Dude ordered the chicken enchiladas with verde sauce and really enjoyed those as well. Customer service was also really good.

The mango margarita.... Best thing I ordered! Cons- Burritos lacked flavor and was pretty unremarkable. The cheesecake. Idk if it was spoiled or a different type of cheesecake but it didn't taste good at all. My daughter ate it bc she's greedy lol and said that it tastes "interesting". I do feel like the food we ordered is not prepared the way I'm familiar with, so I'll own that. BUT flavor is flavor and this place did not do it for me at all.

We did find one that had excellent street tacos but they were very pricey, three tacos for $16.99 with no chips. I would need to get two orders so 6 street tacos with tax and tip would be well over $40 which is No Bueno. We weren't sure what to expect from La Tapatia but I liked that the menu had crunchy tacos. I ordered a pork tamale, a crunchy ground beef taco and some arroz. My friend ordered a chile relleno and a crunchy ground beef taco. The food came with complimentary tortilla chips and a salsa dip with frijoles. The dip and Chios were fresh and the salsa with blended with frijoles was enjoyable. The crunchy tacos were fried nicely and had a good amount of filling. I thinking about trying carnitas as the filling but there a bit of a charge. The tamale was pretty good. The masa was not too dry or too wet. The meat to masa ratio was about right. My friend liked his chile relleno. The rice was more well done than I usually prefer and needed a little more seasoning. Overall, the food was delicious, service very attentive and pricing was a bit higher than other restaurants but still fair. I plan to take the family next trip and try other dishes. For a good family meal or with friends, drop on in for good food and service. You won't be disappointed.

Our two plates arrived. Chilli relleno and Grilled chicken enchilada. I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the smallish squair white plates. Reminds me of trying to look upscale. We own plates like these and that didn't work. Wife's enchilada plate was covered with three hot and very tasty chicken filled food bombs plus sides. The chili plate looked a little weak (too much plate showing) but that was the tastiest chilli relleno ever in 40 years of me enjoying these. Served hot with cheese filled up to the ying yang, an extra spiciness I have never had before that I loved and me wishing I had a spoon to scrape up the end of the sauce. Unfortunately the smallish rice and bean servings on both plates were luke warm and tasted so so. . I had similar hotter to those with tv dinners back in the day.

Isla's fish tacos are phenomenal--easily the best in the area and a must-have every single time. I usually go for the tilapia, though I've sampled the red snapper as well. They come out super crispy on the outside yet remain incredibly moist inside, with the salsa and toppings melding together perfectly. I also visited their new location today and was pleasantly surprised by the ample parking and comfortable seating. The space is beautiful, making it even more enjoyable to stop by for those irresistible fish tacos. Here's a quick rundown of my ratings: Fish (all varieties): 8.7/10 Birria: 7/10 (good, but not their standout item) Carne Asada Super Burrito: 5.8/10 When it comes to satisfying my fish taco cravings, Isla remains the only choice.
