El Taco Express
Chris L.

You have to be pretty bold to park your taco truck just down the street from the iconic and outstanding Taqueria Sanchez. I've driven past several times, but decided today that it was time to stop by. I'm so glad I did. El Taco Express offers the standard taqueria truck fare: street tacos, burritos, tortas, etc. Most tacos are $0.99, with lengua and tripa tacking on another $0.50. They have some soft drinks, water and several varieties of Jarritos. I didn't see any mention of horchata or aqua frescos. Per my typical first visit, I ordered carnitas, barbacoa and lengua tacos. All of the meats were tender and juicy. The carnitas had a good flavor, as did the barbacoa. I added a little green sauce to the pork, and red sauce to the beef tacos. Both were better than most, and within reach of the best. And while I'm thinking of it, the pickled carrot was nicely flavored. I don't know what you do to make one pickled carrot better than others, but they need to keep doing what they're doing. What really stood out was the lengua. It was perfect, and as much as I love the lengua at Taqueria Sanchez and Taqueria El Dolar, this edges them both. The texture and taste is amazing, and is well worth the extra change. So please give this place a try. I can't imagine you would leave disappointed.

The location is nice and has shelter.

Great food, fast, friendly. Better than the blue truck, their asada is fatty now. I wish the mulitas had cheese and avacado.

The ultimate set up…read more Frozen mango margarita. BOMB. My bartender Valeria is the absolute best. WATER. Bc you're gonna need it. Why? Because the sauces are spicy GOOD! Sauce bottles left to right... Mayo. Yes. Mayo. Don't knock it until you try it. Creamy Green sauce. Spicy af but amazing. Red salsa. Spicy too with an addictive kick. Original salsa in the cup that came with my chips and salsa. Hot too but not crazy. BUTTER. Yes. Mix butter with any salsa and a chip and you're in heaven. You're welcome. Customer service, food and vibes are on point. Will be back a lot. 10/10.

Ambiance: Very loud live music and chaotic in general. More chaotic than a standard Mexican restaurant. One visit, tacos were being cooked outside on a Santa Maria style grill. Food: Birria Tacos are the best thing on the menu. Cheesy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Topped with cilantro and wonderful consommé. The white sauce is a great addition as well as the green sauce. The Pin Wheels are not the best for the salsa. The salsa is mediocre and also spicy. The Surf and Turf Quesadillas are cheesy and packed with meat. The same meal as a burrito is good, but not preferred over the quesadillas. The Ceviche is out of this world. A heaping portion of perfectly citrus and not too fishy. The only meal that was not good was the Marlin Quesadilla. It was too fishy and tasted like fishy BBQ.

Some meals spark conversation. Taco Empire ended ours. Chef…read moreKoumbis 405 and I stopped in for lunch after our original plans fell through, and what started as a backup option quickly turned into one of the best meals we've had in Oklahoma City. The experience started with their house-made sauces and a fantastic dip trio featuring fresh guacamole, creamy queso, and salsa. Everything tasted fresh and made from scratch. Then the tacos and tortas arrived. The Birria Torta was packed with flavor, and the quesabirria tacos were outstanding. The homemade blue corn tortillas were crispy, flavorful, and held together perfectly from first bite to last. Paired with their rich, savory consommé, it was easily some of the best birria I've had in OKC. What impressed us most was the attention to quality. Fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and homemade tortillas elevated every dish we tried. Taco Empire is the kind of place that makes everyone at the table stop talking and focus on the food. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food and exceptional birria, this spot deserves a visit. We'll definitely be back.

Save your money, This place is so over hyped. The food is flavorless. I bought some overpriced…read moreTamales that were missing meat and dry masa. The taco's are no better with the extra dry tortilla. I went a few times to give it a try and hoping it was a fluke but each time tried something, I was not impressed. I I cannot understand why people rave about this place. Such a shame that they even reopened. I was hoping for a different establishment.

Yelp search quickly helped us find this restaurant while visiting OKC. We needed something…read morekid-friendly, and this place definitely fit the bill. We didn't get photos of all of our food, but everything we tried was really enjoyable. The service was attentive, and our waitress was very patient with us as first-timers, I had a few questions about how some of the menu items were prepared, and she was happy to help. Nice use of space isn't as it's not the largest restaurant- there's a bar area, then a layout of tables and booths that would work great for large groups. Will return again the next time we're in OKC area to grab a patio seat.

I came in on a Saturday evening to have dinner with my cousin who was coming into town who I hadn't…read moreseen in well over five years. The restaurant was not busy. There were plenty of tables and places to sit. The hostess got us to a table and we sat and ordered our food and talked and caught up. There was this guy I can only assume he must've been a manager, he kept hovering over our table, making sure our drinks were filled even after we had got through eating and just kept hovering like he was waiting for us to leave. I looked around the restaurant and there were plenty of tables that were empty. So I don't understand why he was hovering over us and trying to rush us out of the restaurant. It was probably the worst experience I've ever had at this restaurant. I don't know if he was just racist or if he was just being an asshole, but either way if someone comes in to pay for a meal and is sitting down and talking in the restaurant isn't busy. I don't see why there's a reason for you to turn around and try and force people out. To say the whole experience turned me off and I will probably not go back to this restaurant for a while.
