What an amazing surprise I just had after deciding to give this tiny little place a try after years of just driving right by. The saying good things come in small packages definitely applies. Small having nothing to do with portion size in this case. Hailing from Southern California I can say with authority on such matters, this place is serving the BEST breakfast burrito in Northeast Kansas. In fact, I would say I've only ever had one other place that equals it. Unfortunately, you're gonna have to travel 1,500 miles southwest of here to match it! Can't wait to come back. I see they have super affordable daily specials including authentic picadas on Thursdays for $1 each. read more

Fast, yummy and cheap, One dollar tacos on Tuesday and Friday. Definitely worth it! Try it!!

Love this place! Best queso in town, delicious tacos and breakfast burritos! Service quick and friendly.

This place looks a little sketchy but it's not. It's clean and the food is soooooo good! We LOVE the tacos. They make them with potatoes and a fresh shell. The elotes are good too and their tamales are big, fresh, and delicious! I've never had anything from here I didn't like!

Pretty great tacos! The specials are awesome. The last time I went, I went on Tuesday. The special is buy for $1 tacos and get an order of chips and salsa or queso for free. So the last time I got alllllll the way home and realized I didn't have the chips and queso. I was annoyed but at least I didn't pay for it. That's my only complaint. Other than that the carne asada and chicken tacos or SO good! read more

Every time that I order from here everything is always perfect and so tasty. I love their queso!! The people are fast and friendly when it comes to ordering. read more

I got the shrimp tacos, carne asada and refried beans on the side. Very delicious and fast service.

Best Carne Asada Tacos in town and on Tuesday and Friday tacos are only $1. Carne Asada Tacos

Best tacos in town and it's not even close. All the offerings are quality mexican dishes. I do wish the would make their chimmichsnga cripy. You won't go wrong giving this place a try. read more

Yummy pastor tacos, refreshing aqua frescas and super friendly staff. Highly recommend!!!

Was looking for quick, delicious, and authentic Mexican food while passing through Topeka, and this place for the bill. A stones throw from the interstate you can get yourself a good meal and get back on the road in no time. I had a burrito al pastor, and it was delicious, as were their sauces. My only complaint was that the burrito could have been a little more full for the price. I'll definitely stop for a burrito next time I'm passing through. read more

This is probably one of the most overlooked places to go in Topeka for quick, inexpensive, genuinely tasty, fresh, Mexican food. Ive been here several times, but honestly I mostly stick to the Steak Nachos because they are DELICIOUS!! Only issue I have is that they arw closed on Sunday. DEFINITELY worth a visit. Dont let the exterior fool you! They have a drive-thru and a small eating area inside. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food. Outstanding tacos! Worth checking out. Friendly staff. Drive through only currently.

It doesn't look like much but, the best enchilada in Topeka, hands down! Very friendly and the food is amazing! If one person in the office is going everyone orders, even if they've already had lunch! If you haven't tried it you are def missing out!! (BTW, I'm not a hug fan of Mexican food, but I love everything here!!!) read more

This family run restaurant is the real deal. Drive through only right now. Specials every day of the week. Taco tuesdays are one of my favorites. Such flavorful soft chicken tacos. And their rice. And their tostadas. Good food at good prices. We are regulars! read more

Legit food, awesome people, local business. I love their tacos, the meat is always tender and flavorful. I've heard good and bad about other dishes, but i am all about those tacos :D read more

El Taquito Express - a tray of tacos - Mexican Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Ok, being a Hispanic born and raised in Arizona if there is one thing I know, it's Mexican food. This place would even make my nana weep with joy. We had 3 different of the meat street tacos (carne asada, barbacoa, and cochinita pibil) and they were perfect in every way. From the fresh made corn tortillas that were like silk clouds to deliver the perfect bite of moist spiced meat to the cold Mexican cola to wash it all down, it didn't disappoint. Whether you live in Topeka or are from out of town and want some real Mexican food, DO NOT let the location dissuade you. Eat here and have zero regrets! read more

Tried El Taquito Express for the first time tonight. Had the shrimp tacos, and I must say they had the best shrimp tacos I've ever had in my life! I have tried shrimp tacos from just about anywhere that sells them, and I've never had anything come close to as good as El Taquitos I wasn't extremely impressed with their regular hard shell beef tacos. The shells were "over fried." Also tried their chicken burrito and tostada, and the family said the tostada was delicious. Their chicken burrito tasted pretty identical to Panchos! So in short, try the shrimp tacos!! You won't be disappointed. read more

Wow, I've had some great tacos when I lived in Los Angeles, but I stopped in here for lunch today and I have to say they were just as good as any I have had there. Very impressed. Good service too. Probably my new favorite place in Topeka. Pleasantly surprised!! read more

This is my favorite place to eat in Topeka hands down. I love their tacos and tamales!!!

The problem with going here is after the first time you will want to come back every day.....before you know it you are addicted! I didn't care much for the shrimp tacos, I thought they would be fresh grilled shrimp, not breaded and fried... The asada tacos and quesadillas with some hot sauce are money though! read more

Pretty okay! Great for when you're not quite interested in driving to panchos, but want something a couple steps above Taco Bell without having to get a table. read more

Great local Mexican food! It's my local Taco Bell. People there are so nice, too. Only drive thru I know of where you can get a glass Coke.

This little restaurant is clean the people are very nice! I had two Carne Asada tacos, I have eaten many authentic tacos and they are the best street tacos in Topeka. The hot sauce is amazing!! Will go there for Mexican food from now on! Must try. read more

Very good authentic Mexican food. Drive thru place but don't let that prohibit you from tasting their wonderful tacos. Shrimp as well as pork. Breath of fresh air. read more

Great authentic tacos. Tortillas made fresh to order. Would recommend the marinated beef tacos.

Not a sit down place but really great food. In the wasteland of Topeka, this is a hidden gem. A authentic and inexpensive.

FIrst time there today and I'm disappointed I haven't tried it earlier. Food was superb! If you like shrimp tacos, these are awesome! Give them a try...beats fast food any day! read more

So I finally made my way to this hidden gem. I went with the marinated beef tacos the wife went with chimmichanga. Both where top notch and since that visit I have been back 4 more times for tacos. The best tacos on Topeka without question. read more

I would've really like to say that I was able to try the food but after waiting at the drive-through for 5 to 10 minutes and pressing the button repeatedly. Finally I honked my horn because another vehicle was behind me at this point so I waited few more minutes then press the gas I got about a foot away from the window as I see someone open the window and I like to think that I'm pretty understanding because I worked in restaurants for 10 years at least. I said o hey I pressed your button and he said well it doesn't work OK well I honked my horn also really just looking for a "im sorry you sat here for 10 minutes" but he very rudely told me well I'm busy all right well I guess if you're so busy then I'll go ahead and take my business elsewhere. I'm new to Topeka and I'm really just looking for a hole in the wall taco place to call my own but I guess that won't be it. read more

I used to love this place, I went there often, almost 3 times a week, since April 2018 new owners have took over and I can say I see the change, they are rude, there food is nothing like it use to be. At 1st I thought oh they will get better well July 2018 will be my last visit. They had $1 tacos on Tuesday not only did they get my order completely wrong and the food was not fresh at 12pm but they also over charged me. I asked for 4 crunchy tacos total $6.93 I asked why and they said well if you want a crunchy taco its extra?!?!? So I just paid the extra but im confused they don't do soft tacos and if I want it crunchy its extra? Well what kind of taco am I supposed to get? They will be shut down in a matter of months with this kind of service....... read more

It's good food but ordered one day and was watching through the drive through window. I seen the lady grabbing my steak meat w bare fingers and no gloves and putting it in my buttito. She noticed me watching then tried to dump instead of grab. I gave them a piece of my mind and havnt been back since. Good food not sanitary. read more

Small portions and a long wait. Why have a drive-through window if you have to park while they take 15 minutes to prepare? Nothing was great and we will not return. read more
