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.

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.

It's been 2 years since I first came to El Paso and I never got to try any of the Mexican cuisine…read more I beat myself up over it because Mexico is a stone's throw across the border and if anyone has authentic Mexican food, it would be El Paso. You see, my only experience with Mexican cuisine is the Mexican restaurants in Kentucky and Tennessee. I'm told it's authentic but how do I know? I have nothing to reference it to. This time around, I researched which restaurants were recommended in El Paso. There's a laundry list of them, so I had to filter it based on where I was staying. Carlos and Mickey's popped up and off I went. Full disclaimer, I felt stupid ordering. I explained to my waitress about the stuff I eat at Mexican restaurants back in Tennessee. She flat out said we don't have that. Here I was, some out-of-state guy, spouting off dishes I thought were authentic! She did however give me some recommendations. I ended up with a beef, chicken, and crab enchilada trio with half house chile con queso sauce and spicy red sauce. I also ordered a cheese chile relleno, since that's one of my favorite dishes. For my drink, I ended up trying both of the aguas frescas (Jamaica and Horchata) with free refills! First the chips and salsa. I love how they give me whole tostadas as my chips. Those circular shapes are perfect for scooping up all the salsa in the bowl. The salsa was flavorful with a medium heat. The chile relleno was fantastic. The right amount of melty cheese and sauce but what I especially loved was that the pepper was cooked to that perfect balance of tenderness. You see I love chile rellenos but they are always overcooked on my side of the country. So the pepper itself is super soft and almost mushy. For my enchiladas, they were served with Spanish rice (not Mexican) and refried beans. I really loved the Spanish rice. It was light and earthly with firmness (not super fluffy). The refried beans were also light yet smooth. I like how the food isn't heavy. Like, the Mexican food I've had all my life were rich and heavy, sometimes almost too greasy. Not here and I loved it. My enchiladas were great. The chile con queso was a welcome change, giving it a twist on standard queso with that lightness I was talking about (not heavy). The spicy red sauce was smoky and had a good amount of heat. My crab enchilada was alright. I don't think it was real crab, but rather imitation. I mean I do like imitation crab too, so it wasn't a disappointment. The chicken enchilada was great. The chicken tasted like pulled rotisserie chicken. Whether that was how it was really cooked, I don't know but it was really good. The star however was the beef enchilada. My gosh I could just eat that flavorful, juicy, shredded beef filling in a bowl by itself. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Last but not least are the aguas frescas. The Jamaica, I don't even know what's in it because I've never really tried them before but it was sweet, tart, and floral. Almost like cranberries and flowers. I downed that within minutes. Since the refills were free, I asked to try the Horchata. Lightly creamy, cinnamon-y, with vanilla, and a balanced sweetness. I fully recommend this place. There was so much food AND it was very affordable. All that was just shy of $21. I left stuffed. I felt good that the majority of the patrons here were Hispanic because if the locals are eating here, you know it has to be good. Oh and I don't know if they always do this, but there was live music until close. What a great experience.

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.

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!
