    The food is amazing especially the chilaquiles 10/10 I come in almost every week just for the chilaquiles, the best I've ever had . the service here is amazing as well very nice and very clean space

    Quesabirria
    Carlos V.

    Recently attended to this local place and just want to say ¡wow! The food was great and it is beautifully presented, the prices are not bad as well compared to other latino restaurants, the salsa was excellent. The waitress was very friendly and the food was fastly served, we ordered Chilaquiles, quesabirria and some egg with ham for the baby, they even threw in some beans and rice for him at no extra cost, the place might be a little small if you are a larger party but the place overall is very clean and nice looking.

    Caldo de Camaròn

    I had the Caldo de Camarón. It was amazing, flavorful with perfect seasonings to compliment the fresh shrimp (10 pieces). Also had fresh zucchini, carrots cabbage. Comfort food for sure! I would order this soup again!

    My husband and I just came back from a vacation in Mexico and we were missing the authentic food from Mexico. So I went on yelp and found this place. It was soo good! We got 3 dif shrimp dishes, portions are good and it also comes with beans and rice on the side. All the food was rich in flavor, the staff were nice and accommodating.

    Not bad, fast friendly and quick to serve. Salsa was marginal but the asada meat was seasoned and cooked well. Would do well in a late night pinch

    El Taconazo tacos (steak,chicken,shrimp)
    Runa M.

    Was kind of nervous to try this place since it looks so small. I got the el taconazo, three tacos of steak, chicken, and shrimp. The tacos were super good! I finished every single bite. I should of taken a picture of my plate after I finished, it looked like it was licked clean. My husband got a burrito and kept staring at my tacos haha. After moving to Daly City, this is my first Mexican place I have tried, I don't know if I will try any other! The horchata is also very good, very refreshing! If you need a drink to go with the food, don't forget the horchata!! Anytime someone asks for tacos, I will for sure recommend this place!

    Pollo asado y al pastor tacos

    Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 We ordered huevos de la mexicana and al pastor and pollo asado tacos. Everything was really good! Cute little place too. The service was fantastic! Will return.

    Menudo with all the fixings

    This past Wednesday I had the HUGEST craving for menudo, which is a weekend offering at most Mexican restaurants. After a long search in my area, I finally found El Taconazo in Daly City and it was so so good!! Flavorful with plenty of tripe, garnishes, and tortillas. Delivery was quick and it totally hit the spot. So now you know, menudo everyday. YEA!! With that said, I also tried their other offerings like enchiladas, birria, and chile relleno - they were all okay and can skip.

    Molcajete mixto
    John F.

    I ordered a super michelada and it's delicious. The shrimp are super tasty and the Michelada was spicy and just perfect. I definitely recommend it. To eat, we ordered the camarones a la diabla extra spicy level and they did not disappoint. We also ordered the botanazo appetizer and the mixto molcajete. This is definitely the place to come for mariscos and seafood, and don't forget about the super michelada!

Like they really out here gatekeeping seafood heaven. They don't even advertise it online fr this one them "heard it from the homie" typa deals. Whole time I thought people was exaggerating... nahhh. They bring out this BIG BODY lobster lookin like it got its own zip code. Then they dip that mf in butter???? MANNNNN. Simple. Juicy. Perfect. No extra goofy stuff needed. Just straight seafood crack. Every bite had me quiet at the table reevaluating life choices. And peep this - it come with chips, bread, AND coleslaw so lowkey this the ultimate hangover brunch spot. Like if you survived the night before and need resurrection food? THIS IT. Grease soaking up sins immediately. Vibes cool too. Indoor seating if you tryna chill comfy, outdoor seating if you wanna sit outside actin rich while demolishing a sea monster.

Fun atmosphere, and the place was well attended, but parking is weird. Lots of people competing for parking for a weeknight church service?? Had to park 1/4 mile away. But I will be going elsewhere for a great roll. There's just no justification for that kind of pocketbook punishment.

The seafood boil seasoning had great flavor -- rich, buttery, garlicky, and packed with Cajun spice without being overly salty. Portions were generous, and the food still tasted flavorful even after delivery. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the shrimp didn't taste as fresh as I had hoped, and unfortunately two of the clams appeared to be dead before cooking. That was a little disappointing for a seafood-focused restaurant. Overall though, I still enjoyed the meal and would order from them again. If the seafood freshness improves a bit, this place could easily become a 5-star spot for me.

It is a table side personal vertical grill, kind of like a shawarma. They even put a pinepple on top so it drips the juices down to the meat for extra flavor. The al pastor was flavorful with charred tips, bright adobo sauce and that beautiful marinated pork taste. It came with tortillas, free chips & salsa. Three types of hot sauce are available at the table. My Modelo beer $7 was served in a bottle, ice cold. Later I saw that they had it on tap at the bar. I wonder why she didn't give me a pint instead of the bottle. My preference is tap. Tables around me had drinks with little umbrellas on them. If you are into it, ask the bartender what drinks they are. As for the restaurant, the Yelp hours are incorrect. The waitress told me the restaurant is open until 1am on the weekends, the club/dance room is open until 2am. On the weekdays, there is karaoke in the other room. On the weekends, the other room is a club/dancing with bouncers. Bring some earplugs if are sensitive to noise. Service was excellent. The restaurant room was full at 9pm on a Saturday night. By the time I left at 10pm, tables were available.
