    Complimentary red and green salsa and chips
    Joyce M.

    This place is such a little hidden gem. Only our second time here, but both times we've had excellent service and the food was scrumptious. The complimentary salsas that you get with the chips were spicy, but edible (unless you don't eat spicy--- then don't try them ). Restaurant is clean and comfortable. If you're ever in this part of town, give it a try!

    Pork carnitas

    El Paso - Typical of Mexican 'fast-food' restaurants in this area. Lots of carbs (tortillas, beans, rice, etc) and cheese with every meal. Salsas (two types, served with chips) and pork carnitas were good: garnish with fresh avocado and jalapeños nice touch. Will fill you up and it's relatively cheap.

    Came here due to previous reviews. Not disappointed! Service was prompt and very friendly, food quality and quantity was very good. I will eat here again.

    Very tasty food at a affordable price, no need to search more for authentic Mexican food. Really friendly staff too.

    Fish & Shrimp Soup
    Ed R.

    While in Rome do as the Romans right, the surroundings had all the pizza and burger joints you find in every city then I found this place. Service is great, atmosphere is welcoming, clean establishment. I ordered Fish & Shrimp Soup came with a side of rice and toasted buttered roll, Awesome! Very tasty, fish pieces were fresh not frozen and meaty chunks no fishy taste, shrimp had a snap to it also not frozen, vegetables crispy not limp, broth not spice over bearing.

    1 guac and bean burito and 1 barbacoa burrito.  They are big, yessss....

    Good service. Good mexican food. Just not the steak. It tasted old. Maybe that's why the steaks were so cheap.... Maybe...

    El Taquito - Flautas- excellent!

    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.
