This place has some seriously delicious slasa https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-taco-buchon-commerce?select=SZm3B7vHHaHvUWYlL_WuSA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg BUT what the salsa impresses you more than the food......sorry this place is average at best! Nice menu selection between Specialty Buchon Style, Mariscos, Street Tacos y Mas! I thought the menu under the street taco selection was a bit funny, it reads "Made with original Mexican soft corn tortillas" Original Mexican soft corn tortilla, what does that even mean? NO they are not hand-made tortillas!

I drive past this place 5 days a week. I was tempted by the food gods to stop. I was really hungry and order 4 things... Taco Buchón: this taco was a sad take on asada taco. For something that has your name on it and cost $3.99 make it chunky add more meat. Use a better cut of meat. Be proud to put your name on it. 1star Taco Governandor: this taco did not dissatisfy my tastebuds. Had cheese and great combination of flavor. I would recommend this taco and give it 4stars. Taco Marlin: the seasoning was on point, I just had doubts that it wasn't a real marlin fish, I hope I'm wrong. Overall the taco is great, great balance of flavors, awesome taste 4 stars Tostada de Ceviche: this tostada was hearty, it was pretty big. The only thing I have against a tostada, was how cold it was. I felt it to stay that was refrigerated for more than one day to be that cold. The flavor was great it was a decent size once again I'll buy it again. 3 read more

I'm a sucker for a good grilled fish taco, and this place has great ones. I paid  extra for the flour tortilla and was exceedingly happy with that decision. And although I'm willing to pay a pretty penny for a good grilled fish taco, Buchon is pretty easy on the wallet. The salsa bar is on point as well. Plenty of heat, plenty of flavor. I also had my first Birria taco here and it was quite good. I am about that Birria life now. They often had sports on the big screens, and I appreciated that, and although it's not a huge place there's plenty of seating. I appreciated the friendliness and warmth of the staff as well. Food comes out relatively quickly as well. It's not necessarily *fast* food, but it's a pretty quick turnaround between the time you order and the time you get your food. My friend ordered the vampiro when she came and was pretty pleased with that, but she was specifically underwhelmed by the Aguachiles De Camaron. She's had good aguachiles before, but while, this one wasn't *bad*, it reminded her more of a shrimp cocktail than what she was expecting. However, the portion size was pretty big so that was a plus. read more

Maybe we caught them on a bad day but after all these great reviews we expected above average food. What we got was average at best. I had the carne asada burrito and there was minimal meat. My friends got the tacos and were less than impressed by the seasoning. Service was good and outdoor seating was lovely. read more

Carne asada was tough, carnitas dry. Rice was good. Nice looking location. Looks like they might have remodeled recently.

Pretty good food, wish they had more spice salsa for those who enjoy the heat. Get service too

I eat lunch here and the service and food are great. It very clean and the food arrives fast.

Don't even know where to start, just overall extremely frustrated. Customer service was absolutely awful. Feels like no one here has common sense and any understanding of good food. Food was quite literally so horrible, I can't even describe it. Bad food and bad customer service....please reconsider being in this business. read more

The food is delicious. The carne asada nachos are my favorite and the best thing is the customer service. Staff is friendly, and very helpful read more

Where do I begin?! Came here during lunch time (breakfast for me). Their menu selection is absolutely overwhelming. We asked the cashier Tania what she recommended since it was my friend and I's first time. She pointed at a few menu items and everything looked so good my friend and i ordered three different plates to share/try. Our taste buds were happy we did! Their tacos dorados governador are to die for! The flavor, pico de gallo, and crunch on every bite was fire! *My Fav* La burrita bunchon was ok. It was made of birria and a bit dry. It was missing the consome. Overall not bad. Carne asada fries were good. I was a bit full at this point; however, the few bites I ate were good. Their agua frescas were good. I tried their agua de pepino and their lemonade with chia looked good. The atmosphere and vibe were on point and welcoming. A bit too loud; could have been it was getting crowded, however definitely must try! -brownie points for Tania taking the time to ask how our food was. Now that is great customer service!!! Definitely returning :) read more

Great food and drinks! The Palomita and tamarindo michelada was delicious great costumer service!

The food is amazing. We ordered a mulita, 3 tacos, and a quesadilla. Plus they came with chips and salsa. The menu looks pricey. Like for 1 taco it's $5 non seafood, but it everything is stacked. Plus they are renovated and currently remodeling so it looks new inside. If you're in the area look no further. read more

So many food options that your taste buds will love!! I got the birria quesadilla and I'll definitely be coming back

Do you guys even try your ceviche and cocktails before putting it on your menu and serving it to people? The worst ceviche and shrimp cocktail I've had in my life. ceviche de pescado was disgusting. It had old mango with cinnamon all over it. Who the hell puts cinnamon on ceviche??? The shrimp cocktail was gross! the juice tasted like spaghettio sauce. I can make better food than this and I'm not a chef. Very disappointing. read more

Food is good but I never had this problem, I had glass inside my shrimp tacos, I even chewed on it and it broke inside my mouth.... Honestly was too scared to even eat the other taco. read more

Came here with my family after searching on tell for some asada fries. This is the first place I've ever been to where they allowed me to put more than one meat on my fries, so I chose asada/cabeza! My sis played it safe with an asada torta, her bf got a wet burrito for the first time, and my mom got some tacos and a vampiro. We all loved our food, and as far as the fries go, they're the bomb!!! So many places put beans, soggy fries, and yellow cheese... Real gross. *These* fries were crispy, had crema, guac, white cheese, and pico de gallo. None of that cheap filler of beans and shredded american cheese. The asada and cabeza was full of flavor and honestly 10/10 for those fries itself. The reason I knocked off a star, however, was because unfortunately my mom's vampiro had no flavor. I think she also got cabeza, but the meat was still a lil red and had no flavor. Also my sis bf's burrito had too much rice and beans. They seemed to take up the whole bottom half of the burrito, so it wasn't mixed with all the ingredients to make the whole burrito even. Regardless, we all left full and satisfied enough to come back again! read more

Ordered through grubhub. We got a birria taco, a burrito, and carne asada nachos. Everything was tasty and it came with a free bag of chips! The nachos were lackluster; it was just cheese, meat, and beans. I thought there would be more toppings or even some pico. The chips were also pretty stale. Overall, flavor and value were good, I would just skip the nachos next time. read more

Close to the Citadel outlets, if you're looking for reasonably priced Mexican food with heaping portions, amazing customer service, and delicious food, you should check out El Taco Buchon ! A friend and I decided to eat here for lunch before hitting the outlets as they are located just down the street. They have outdoor covered seating so we ate outside on a beautiful sunny day. It was our first time here and we were both impressed. We did expect a fair amount of food based on their prices, but were blown away with what we actually received. Definitely got way more than we expected and it didn't take long for us to receive our order. I did look at their menu a few days prior in an attempt to decide early to avoid lingering too long, but it was all in vain. Everything on their menu looked so good, it was difficult to pick just one thing! What we ended up getting was a birria quesadilla, a burrito, and carne asada nachos. With how much food they gave us, we were unable to finish everything, but I'm glad we were able to at least try a variety of dishes. I would gladly come back to this place to try something else on their menu as I'm sure they won't disappoint. read more

Visited this place on our way home and don't regret it at all!! The customer service was excellent! I tried a chicken taco, and asada. My boyfriend also tried al pastor so I got to try those too. We also tried the fries with shrimp and they were super good!!! The portions for the food were a good size! Will definitely be going back when in town. read more

A diamond in the rough, and a great culinary addition to Commerce. Calling this a hole in the wall is a disservice to the amount of work and thought the owner and soon-to-be restaurateur has put into it's menu, the consistent quality of their food, and the look of the place. He has big dreams and backs it up with a great deal of commitment and love for the art of giving people great food. The restaurant is a true reflection of his heart of gold and charisma. First off, it's necessary to point out that many other well-funded taco spots have tried to make something happen in the real estate El Taco Buchon sits on. Rakken Tacos, a 626 Night Market regular, tried and eventually walked away. However, the fact that El Taco Buchon has been able to thrive where others have failed is a testament to their product. I already mentioned the owner...who is just a stand up type of guy and mature well beyond his young age. The food...well...where do I start...I'll start with their coctel/cocktail. Why? Because I'm a recent convert. I am of the belief that a taco spot that sells good land-bourne meat, cannot make good mariscos/seafood. It's just my experience. Well, I've found the exception. In fact, they are so confident about their cocktail that they don't even push it or have it on the menu. Its availability is part of a meager sign in front of their cash register. Why is it good? First off, it's huge. Forget cup size. This is a soup container size. They don't add the usual "filler juice" that other places have nor the cucumber to water it down. In fact, they don't add any juice. All the liquid in the cocktail comes from the seafood itself. Secondly, the combination of the seafood in the cocktail is in larger pieces and had more variety than other spots I've been to. Lastly, and this was why I loved it, I didn't have to add any salsa, ketchup, salt, or anything. The flavors were enough to keep me working on it. Next, the vampiros are great. The meat is juicy. The tortilla is the right amount of crispy. The cheese is a good quality Mexican cheese that's neither over nor underwhelming. It complements the meat very well. I am particular to their carnitas even though I don't normally eat carnitas. The portions are well sized and well worth the $. The aguas frescas are great and the owner is constantly trying new iterations of the traditional aguas. My wife and I loved the strawberry water, but the owner only makes it every so often. They also have a neon-ish green salsa that the owner makes sparingly and keeps in the back. It is distinctly delicious. I've been telling him to make it regularly, and just think it's great. In terms of ambiance, the place has two large TV screens for watching sports, and, according to the owner, he's moving towards making it a spot where people can lounge while they watch sports. All in all, this spot is a great spot to have a great tasting and decently priced meal. Provecho! read more

Honestly the staff was super nice and attentive which is why I am not leaving a bad review but listen...I ordered two tacos gobernador and my man 2 de birria, we went to eat in the car, and ate a taco when I realized I had barely tasted shrimp. I decide to open the second taco to find 4 cup of noodle looking shrimps staring back at me. I couldnt believe my eyes and started touching the cheese all over to find a hidden shrimp or something. 1 dollar per shrimp? I think not. Luckily the manager was cool about it and gave me a refund for the taco. The cashier was nice and the girl who put our things in the bag was too which is why I felt bad going back in to say something but I got skimped, no other way to put it. read more

This place can get pretty busy during lunch time, pretty popular spot for construction workers and truck drivers. My husband and I ordered and ate in the car. We had an order of the carne asada fries, shoe string fries with melted cheese, chunks of meat. Guac and sour cream on the side. Both red and green salsas were tasty, I think there was a hint of cumin in the red salsa which made it very interesting. We also had the tacos, great portions of tasty proteins and the tortilla was just right. We would definitely come back for this spot! read more

I was between giving this restaurant either 4 or 5 stars and I choose to give it a 5 as an over all restaurant. Customer service was wonderful and the ladies had beautiful smiles. So I think, because they were wearing their masks, but their beautiful personality came through their eyes. So here is the run down of the food we ordered and tasted. Each one will be rated from 5 stars Carne Asada taco 4 Tripa taco 5+ Pastor Taco 4 Governador taco 5 Ceviche tostada 4 Coctel de Cameron 4 Aguas Frescas 5 Asada French fries 5+ All their salsas and different types of onions 5 Cooks seem devoted to their craft. Nice and clean. I would recommend this location. They have something for everyone and I think they will make you something that is not on their menu just to please the customer. I was very happy with everything. Can't wait till we are able to actually eat in the restaurant. read more
