Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle. It's got heat as it's also creamy...I would call it medium (I like spicy food.) If you're getting them to go, you might want the sauce and toppings on the side. They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

Stopped at El Taquito for breakfast during our move from WA to TX, and it was such a great choice…read more The staff was incredibly friendly, and the whole place had that warm, local-favorite vibe. We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!

We were in town for the weekend and decided to give this place a try. We didn't seek it out by…read morename, but since we were already in the area, Yelp pointed us in the right direction--and I'm glad it did. There is paid parking available; it's under $1.50 for one hour, though it did take about 15 minutes to download the app and get everything set up before heading inside. The food was outstanding. The restaurant itself is very nice, spacious, and features large windows with a great downtown view. Service was prompt, and our server, Omar, was excellent--very friendly and knowledgeable. He recommended the Chicken Tampiqueña, which I chose. My dad ordered the Butter Chicken, and my mom had the stuffed poblano. Every dish was impressive. I would have to agree when they say, "organically sourced ingredients made with love". We didn't try dessert this time, but the dessert menu looked fantastic. I did order their Old Fashioned, which I'd rate a solid 8/10--strong, well-balanced, and finished with a pleasant sweetness. Would I recommend this spot? Absolutely. Will I be returning? Without a doubt--hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu.

Which were good (lacked a little crisp but had good flavor). The green salsa at the table was fantastic, a little slice but a ton of flavor. Everything was fresh, the chips were freshly baked, the rice was not day old rice like at so many places around here it was good and actually had some flavor, the beans were good (the bright orange color of the beans surprised me, turmeric? Regardless they were delicious). Unfortunately the meat had zero spices, not even salt. The only reason not taking off a star is the salsa paired perfectly with the shredded beef tacos and the green chili burger, but a little bit of salt would have elevated the meal for sure. There was no salt on the meat in any of the meals we'd ordered. The coffee was good and strong, the mugs weren't tiny little mugs they actually gave you enough coffee to enjoy and the experience over all was wonderful. My mom spoke Spanish, I border on no sabo, pero intendo and my kids speak no Spanish at all, the menu was all Spanish but the waitress was patient and sweet with every order. Definitely worth the visit.

We came here on 2 different evenings for a nightcap before heading to our nearby hotel. While I didn't try the food, my husband did and said that, while everything he had was good, it wasn't truly authentic Mexican and he likened it to Tex-Mex (not a bad thing, just an observation). The staff were friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to take our remaining wine and a set of their glasses to our hotel with us as we'd ordered a bottle here but were unable to finish it before closing time. We appreciated the gesture and were sure to return the glasses to them the following day. The one oddity here was the manager lady: Whenever we passed by she always seemed to be working, often sitting at the bar while doing paperwork and she tended to watch everyone, both patrons and staff alike, like a hawk - which was somewhat off-putting. Barrigas does have a few large TVs, but they always seemed to be showing music videos, concerts and similar content. I never saw them offer any sporting events or matches like a few other area restaurants and bars often did.
