    Tacos, rice and beans
    Kim C.

    The staff are always pleasant. The food is good, the prices are reasonable and the hot sauce is flavourful. I love their jamaica. There is outdoor seating available.

    Best place ever! This is my new go-to spot when it comes to buying food. They're not stingy with the meat, everything is very affordable, and I love this place. The owners are super nice too. Also, try the mango and orange agua fresca it's so good!

    Delicious tacos!
    Alden C.

    Got recommended El Taco Man for my baby shower and they did not disappoint. They arrived on time and the food was delicious. Both rice and beans were seasoned well and my guests complimented how good the food was. I love how they left the leftovers after the event so my guests could pick at it after. We chose the asada/al pastor/chicken and they were all great. Highly recommend them for your event and they were also affordable.

    I have been coming here for years and haven't left a review on this place yet! Food - For my last visit I decided on Carne Asada Tacos and Carne Asada Mulitas. I typically do the tacos which the meat is very well seasoned and not dry, and the salsa they provide is amazing. It was my first time trying a mulita from here, and I'm not sure what it is, but this was the best mulita I had. Service - Service has always been amazing here. No matter who it is, I have always been greeted so kindly. Ambiance - the restaurant is more of a home where you order from the window for take out or dine in (which they do have a patio area with a few tables). It's more on the quiet end but it is next to streets so you may hear cars driving by.

    All breading,tiny sliver of fish,so very disappointing.

    For starters,'I DO NOT RECOMMEND. " THE WET BURRITO was all rice and tortilla, tiny portion of carne asada,and meat was minced small,you couldn't even taste it,a lot of nasty green sauce,I didn't care for the taste,it was off,and for $9.00+tax you would expect a fat portion of meat,but what you get is tons of rice,and not at all worth it. We ordered 2 fish tacos and 2 shrimp tacos $11...all thick breading and a tiny sliver of fish,((see photo))the shrimp tacos were no better,2 tiny shrimp per taco,in a greasy breading,I'm telling you now, 'JUST DON'T GO" a waste of your time and money. My burrito had a 3 inch hair inside,that's toe straw from the camel...I'm done.

    Asada, Fish, and Al Pastor Taco
    Alan K.

    Highly recommended by several of my associates, this hole in the wall boasts some delicious Mexican eats. I had ordered three tacos which were asada, al pastor, and fish. All three tacos were delicious, especially the fish taco. You can tell that they make their food to order. My friend tells me that they recently started to accept credit cards too! Parking is very limited in their lot, so it may just be easier to find parking on the street instead. Can't wait to come back again to try their remaining menu!

    New menu prices. I haven't been here in 5 years

It was my first time coming and was so amazed when I saw that my sopes were made with fresh masa. The fresh masa truly does change up the food taste.

I liked that they use refried beans inside, and the overall flavor was good. My only issue was the meat to rice and beans ratio. There was definitely a lot more rice than carne asada, and I would've liked a little more meat in there. Overall, the burrito was good and the portion was a decent size, but I think it would've been much better with more carne asada. I noticed their wet burrito seems pretty popular, so that's probably what I'll try next time.

We also ordered the guacamole--YUM! And the chips were warm and fresh! Their Jamaica was absolutely delicious too! Next time I'm craving a Jamaica or Horchata, I already know where I'm going.
