Platillo Mexicano
Ashley E.

Stopped by here for a business trip. It was close to our work site. Signs out front are what brought us in. Service was good, a little bit of a language barrier as we are only English speaking. This is a little mom and pop Mexican restaurant, very clean. They offer a lunch buffet for like $8 and that includes your drink. Salsa is a little on the spicy side. So if you don't like heat, it won't be for you. I ordered the platillo mexicano. It comes with a flauta, taco, enchilada, chile rellanos, rice and beans. Food was pretty decent. Very authentic.

Clean, good food, attentive service. I was there for breakfast and I will be back. So close to downtown that it is worth giving it a try.

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!

One of the best ambiences I have experienced at a Mexican restaurant. The service was very friendly…read moreand fast. I would rate both the ambience and service highly. The food arrived within about 10 minutes for our group of six, which was impressive. The complimentary fried tortillas were very good, and the salsa was enjoyable as well. I ordered al pastor tacos. The flavor was good, but the meat was very dry. I liked the portion size, especially the amount of meat, but it would have been excellent if it were not so dry.

Food was fine, but the last time I'm going to this place. Called in the morning to make a…read morereservation for 12, they said they don't do reservations. We get there and wait an hour and the said "Well you didn't make a reservation, that's why it's such a long wait". I guess that's a privilege they offer some people. My daughter ordered a taco, and they messed up that order. I ordered the fajitas and they were decent, and asked for a side of sour cream and cheese--$10 up charge for a tiny portion of the condiments. Ask for a few Cherrys for my daughters dessert, they up charged $3. Clearly this establishment is resting on their laurels of their former glory days as the whole experience and food was mediocre at best. We come in from Dallas every year and plan to hit up Kiki's, Tres Gallegos, or La Morena, or Track 1 next time. Not spending another dime here.

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.

I only had one day but when i come back in town , I would eat here again.
