    El Portillo right outside Keesler Air Force Base ain't fancy but it ain't trying to be, and that's the whole point. You got 20 minutes, a tight budget, and a serious taco problem? This is your spot. It's quick, it's simple, and somehow it hits better than it has any right to. Folks complain but that's like going to a dive bar and asking for a wine list. They're back there working with what looks like half a kitchen and a prayer... and still putting out solid food. That alone deserves a little respect. And knowing it feeds the men and women in uniform including folks like my daughter in the Air Force that gives it a little extra shine. It ain't perfect. It ain't polished. But it's real and sometimes that's exactly what you're hungry for.

    California burrito

    WOW. A true sleeper on the coast. Extensive menu. Awesomely good find. Great service. One of, if not the best, taco salads I have ever had! The California burrito plate was huge, hot and tasty. The churros and fried ice cream were spot on! Our server, Stephany, was super friendly. Very knowledgeable about menu items and ensured a great experience! The ambience is awesome, a true cantina feel. Decorated tastefully with a lot of thought.

    Honestly, the food was really disappointing. I usually don't leave negative reviews, but this was bad enough that I felt like I should. The portion of beans was tiny, the food did not taste fresh, everything was stale, and the overall quality was just not good. My partner ordered tacos and ended up getting sick afterward, which made the experience even worse. Maybe this place is considered decent locally, but compared to other Mexican food I've had, it was extremely disappointing. The service also wasn't great, so overall I would not come back or recommend it.

    Great food. I had a chile relleno and a chalupa (tostada). It was delicious and authentic. The chips and salsa were typical American style chips, very thin Tostito style. I would have preferred Mexican totopo tortillas chips, but the salsa was good. I could tell they were heavy on the cumin. The service was great; my server spoke both Spanish and English. There are few tables in the small dining room, but much of their business is take-out, and there is a drive through window. Parking spots behind the restaurant are also limited, but I did find a spot. The music was very loud, so I changed tables to one farther away from the speakers. I would not consider this an intimate restaurant for a date, neither suitable for a business lunch because of the loud music. The limited seating makes it unlikely for groups. But if you like great Mexican food, this is your place. I recommend them.

    Not bad. I have to say this place is authentic and great for Mexican street tacos. They had great flavor and good customer service. If you are looking for some good authentic street tacos this place is not bad. They also have $1 taco Tuesday deals but that's for your regular American Tacos which are not worth it to me. If I'm going to have a taco, I want a real Mexican street taco and that's what this place serves. I had the Pastor Taco and the steak and chicken combo street tacos. They had great flavor and the toppings were grilled perfectly the hot sauces were flavorful and not too hot. I would eat here again for Tacos... the street kind not the American tacos. It's just not the same.

    I got here pretty often. If you want something authentic then I was suggest El Potrillo! The tacos are amazing and the staff is always ON IT! They remember your order when you walk in the door. These ladies work hard. The place is a little small but it gets pretty packed around lunch from experience.

    Your typical Mexican taqueria, simple, affordable, and flavorful. Their salsas are spicy (served on the side), you been warned. The food is made fresh and fast, but full of flavor. The tacos are served with rice and beans on the side. The meat is served in really good portions, if you were used to eat 5 tacos in other taquerias, you will be fully satisfied here with 3. There are fountain sodas, Mexican bottle sodas and others.

    This is the coziest Mexican place I've been too not at all what is expected from the exterior Small dining area but very adequate seating And the food and service is top notch. I had the taco salad and my company had the steak and peppers fajita and both were more than enough and absolutely delicious for the price my only concern was the taco shell and plating that had water on the bottom which cause my shell to be soggy like they put the lettuce in wet but didn't take away from the taste at all.. could not finish the whole thing

    Lots of seating inside and the server was great. I highly recommend their tripas tacos as long as you don't mind no chitlins. Delicious!

    El Taco Larry? Yeah, we'll be back soon!!…read more Our Order: 1. Taco Appetizer. This comes with 5 tacos with meat of your choice. We ordered 2 asada, 2 carnitas, 1 tripa. We'll be ordering more tripa next time around as that was our favorite!!! 2. Quesadilla Loca. Hello? Just look at the picture and video. No regrets. 9/10. Would order again, again, and again. Would be 10/10 however, doesn't come with rice & beans. Easy fix though, we ordered it on the side. 3. Burrito de Carne Asada. The pico and guac typically goes inside however, i ordered on the side as a personal preference. Not the best i've had but pretty good overall. Honest rating 6.5/10. I'd like to try the other burrito options as this one was the most basic. 4. THE HORCHATA IS DELICIOUS!!!!! Not too sweet and just hit the spot. If i'm ever in the mood for some, this will be the go to spot. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and felt homey and welcoming. Enjoyed the atmosphere!! Hasta Luego Larry!!! (for now)

    El Taco Larry is located on Pass Road just east of Debuys Road, in a location that has been a few…read moredifferent places over the years. It has an odd but memorable name, and they only have a social media presence and no website that I could find. I've been here a couple of times in the past several months and forgot to take photos, but their Facebook page is loaded with pictures of different dishes as well as their menu, so you can see what you're getting. They have an extensive menu with traditional offerings plus a lot of stuff you won't find in other Mexican restaurants. Last time I went, we were seated in a booth and it was very poorly made because you can feel every movement of the person behind you. The guy behind me was violently enjoying his meal because I was getting bumped around every time he moved. It was incredibly annoying and uncomfortable, like the back had become partially separated from the seat. I had the quesadilla combo, which was only $10.99, and it came with rice, beans, and salad. The "salad" was a small bit of lettuce with a dollop of sour cream and a few bits of tomato. It's not a side salad in case that's what you're expecting. The quesadilla actually had a good bit of chicken in it, but very little cheese, and everything was dry. It wasn't bad, but I don't think I'd order that again. If you're looking for a unique non-alcoholic drink, I highly recommend the Mangonada. It's a frozen blended fruit drink with lots of mango chunks and the straw is a tamarind candy stick. I really enjoyed mine but it does take a while to drink since it is completely frozen. Our server was great and friendly, and the food came out quickly, so this is a good place for lunch. It was packed last time I went, and I think it's helping to fill the void left by El Saltillo closing near the mall.
