Located inside the grocery store, there is a small room to the right with very limited seating and…read morecounter space. There are also a couple tables and chairs outside, at least with warm weather. These tacos are SO GOOD and the price cannot be beat, $2.50 for steak and as you see, they are a good size and don't scrimp on the filling. It smelled so delicious I started eating and forgot to snap a pic for yelp! I don't make it up to the area much but if I ever do, you can bet I am going to stop by and snag more.

We wanted something good and quick... and cheap. And at $2 a taco, this place definitely did the trick. They have a wide assortment of authentic taco fillings. We didn't get to try all of them, but everything we had was really good. This just means we need to come back and try more tacos! Everything is made to order and it's just a few minutes wait for super fresh and tasty food! Not a whole lot of seating area and they were pretty busy, so we took ours to go. Why is it that the hole-in-the-wall places always have the best food?? Definitely seeking El Senor next time we're in the area!

For the most authentic Mexican street tacos in greater Cleveland area, I highly recommend hopping…read moreover a county and going to Painesville for your tacos. It is fully worth the 30-50min drive (depending on where you are in Cleveland). This and La Mexicana in are the best tacos you'll get in the state having been in Cleveland for 6 years and traveled to Columbus many times. This one is attached to a Mexican grocery store! We got individual tacos but they have combos available as well and very affordable. We got al pastor, costilla (ribs), and barbacoa. All cooked ready to order, hot and flavorful. If you're used to a pineapple al pastor, that's not what they serve here, so a bit of a different flavor profile. I was pleasantly surprised by the costilla (ribs) - super tender and packed with flavor. They take cash and card. Has bathrooms and ample parking. Not much else going on in the city, but we always stop by the headlands state beach park (one of the best beaches in the area) when we come for tacos and stop by the TJs on the way back to get some groceries.

The bartender/host was super friendly. I ordered shrimp tacos, which he said were "really good." Hurrah! I waited maybe 10 minutes, and a trio of piping hot corn tortillas (my fave) packed with shrimp and peppers & onions were ready. Chips, a small container of freshly made salsa, and a large container of Spanish rice came with it. I was kinda shocked at the large bag I was handed. The food was good. The shrimp fresh; the peppers and onions cooked perfectly. It needed something - guacamole? Cilantro? Still, the tacos were good. The salsa - while fresh - needed something, too - a bit more cilantro? It just lacked a bit of flavor. All in all, though, it was a good lunch. If I'm back in town, I'd definitely go again.
