Don Taco- El Paso

Eat tacos. Sip tequila. Repeat…read more Probably one of the best taco restaurants I've been to in El Paso! I could say so much for you to believe me, and it honestly starts with the speedy (and kind) service, flavorful profiles and the pricing! My first visit I just simply couldn't believe it. Each visit, I try something new and I must say that I'm hooked on the Jamaica Margarita (with the tajin rim), and the pork shoulder taco, as well as the chicken taco! The Baja shrimp taco is also in my top 3! The staff is kind, energetic and will remember you; not just from personal experience but from my observations as well. Service is fast, food is hot and it's a great place to be! There is no wi-fi, but it is a FUN and engaging place for sure! I'd recommend a bar seat if you're lucky Warning: You may leave planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill.

I've always enjoyed coming to Taconeta because the food is great, and the service is usually…read moreexcellent. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was very disappointing. One of the servers, Jonah, threw away my "half-eaten" food without asking if I was finished. I didn't realize that was his decision to make, and when I brought it up, he rolled his eyes and responded with a horrible attitude. On a positive note, Sara behind the bar was fantastic, and Alexis was incredibly kind. They both provided the level of service I've come to expect from Taconeta. I hope management addresses this, because one negative interaction shouldn't overshadow the great staff and food that usually keep me coming back.

With their recent expansion, the experience is even better. There's plenty more room for everyone to enjoy their delicious tacos without feeling crowded. As someone originally from Los Angeles, I can honestly say these are the closest tacos I've found to authentic LA-style tacos. It's been difficult to find that same flavor here in El Paso, but this place absolutely delivers. The salsa bar is another highlight and never disappoints. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with the tacos. Don't be surprised if it's busy when you visit, that's usually a great sign. The crowds are there for a reason: the food is consistently delicious and well worth the wait.

My dad and I ordered 8 tacos total (4 al pastor and 4 asada) for $15.50 which came with complimentary chips and condiments. The salsa rojo/verde, lime, and cilantro all gave an authentic taste to the tacos. I'm not sure what the other two condiments consisted of (mexican coleslaw and celery?) but I didn't feel particularly interested in adding those in. Pastor tasted wonderful; asada was decent but a little dry. It saddened me to see an empty shop on a Wednesday afternoon. The lady that took my order was very sweet. Although their menu prices can't quite compete with food trucks, the value is still reasonable. Consider supporting this local business if you're near Downtown.

Taqueria Ay Cocula

We keep coming back…read more El Paso is not short of taco joints, and Taqueria Ay Cocula is a dependable one. We go as a family to their hard stand off Mesa on the West Side, but they have a food truck on Fort. Bliss too. I love their quesobirria. On this trip , I tried something I have been wanting to try for awhile, the birria ramen. It's ramen and birria in the birria consume. It comes in a bowl and is loaded with birria. I tossed some cilantro, onions, and avocado in there and it was amazing. The server came and checked on us regularly, but I wouldn't say it was spectacular. They were nice though, and made sure to ask if we wanted more. Another thing I like is Taqueria AC has pretty good aguas frescas. Liz ordered their pina colada agua fresca. That comes loaded with whipped cream and pineapple chunks. The ambiance is kinda divey, but it's definitely safe. Parking is limited. We love their taco Tuesday specials, and we will return.

I was starving when i got here. Nice and patient service. First time here so i had a few questions…read more I got the quesabirria order (4tacos), birria tacos (4 tacos) and 1 taco de asada, 2 pepino limon drinks= total 49.60. I dont know if i was supposed to get toppings but i did not get any. I was expecting cilantro, onion, etc. and the 4$ carne asada was skimpy and dire need of toppings. We took it to go and didnt check the bag. ‍The birria tacos were great even without the toppings. The juice was so flavorful. Plus, since we at home, we fixed them up with more toppings. Not a real difference between quesabirria and regular birria tacos. Quesabirria had a tiny bit of cheese. The drinks were delicious! Now i went on a Thursday and that 4$ taco was tiny! BUT apparently they have mon-Wednesday special of buy 1 get 1 free and if it had been 2$, it would have been reasonable. If you come here, come on Monday- Wednesday!

So I stood at the counter for a while, probably 10 minutes just waiting for someone- she was around the corner at the bar and honestly neither of us saw each other. I just figured you ordered near the cash register so I didn't go looking for anyone. Once she came around the side she apologized for hot seeing me and took my orders. I was hoping they had a big platter of tacos as that's what we wanted to try, but instead I only found meals. I ordered the quesabirria tacos (4 birria tacos with cheese, 2 sides) and the arrachera tacos (4 grilled steak tacos, 2 sides). For the sides I ordered two fries, once loaded potato and beans. The fries were home fried, they were pretty plain but I could see why people would like them. The potato was stuffed with butter, cheese and bacon and the beans were really good. Not super flavorful beans but they did have a good flavor and they were fresh tasting, not old like you get at some places around here. Now the tacos, the quesabirria ones would have been sooo good, would have been but the sauce was crazy salty. Like leave your mouth sore from the salt, salty. I would he embarrassed to serve that to people honestly, much less charge for them. The flavor was good, the meat was tender the tortillas had the perfect thickness and the cheese pull was awesome. If it wasn't for how salty they were I may have thrown in the 5th star. The arrachera tacos were cooked perfectly; the steak was flavorful and tender. Some places make their steak very dry but these were very good. The two salsas that were served which each taco meals were very good. The dark red one burned the crap out of my lips, my husband absolutely loved it. The other salsa (chunkier) was very flavorful and maybe one of the best salsas at a taco place in El Paso. The tortillas here are so good and the meat is cooked well, I just wish they'd taste their food and learn not to over salt their birria. While the service was a bit slow because of missing each other, the service was still very good. The woman helping was super sweet and very helpful. The restaurant is clean and decorated okay. Nothing special but welcoming. I would recommend the tacos just be careful with the birria. I could eat 1.5 tacos before the salt was just too much. Luckily I have teen boys who each everything.
