    Carne Asada Nachos
    Wendy H.

    The food was delicious. Everything on the menu looked amazing. Will be back for the tacos! The place was a little too loud and even though we sat pretty quick we were left without anyone coming back for a long time. Thankfully the food was good. Had to leave because it was too loud.

    When you come to El Paso and you want some gooodddd Mexican food, this is the spot! The servers are all so welcoming and explain the menu in detail. We went on a Sunday and they had the football games playing all TVs. They also have music playing and it was pretty packed. On top of the food being delicious, you can't beat the prices! $2.25 for a taco! Highly recommend La Taqueria!

    Tripitas and barbacoa are so good, also recommend the longaniza
    Rick M.

    Always a great place to eat with ZTHE best tacos in The Sun City, longaniza, Sir Loin, Tripitas, and can't go wrong with barbacoa, 2 of each.

    Food was amazing, fast and friendly service. They agua de pepino limón was so good too

    Fixings for the tacos, Look at all that Cilantro. Most skimp on it

    This place is BOMB for dem tacos! If you are worried about a heart attack, grease, calories, there's gotta be a health food store somewhere around here! I love the Sirloin, Chicharron and Al Pastor tacos with pineapple. This time they have Cantaloupe Water which is my favorite anywhere hands down!

    I wanted to like this place a lot. Cheap tacos, decent decor, and friendly staff, but the tacos are mediocre at best. I had a staff meeting here and we order the loaded nachos and 4 different types of tacos from bistec, to barbacoa, to al pastor and they were all just... eh. Barely any flavor, not salted well, just food basically. The only redeeming factor were their Charro beans. BEST I've had in El Paso but not good enough to go back specifically for them. Hopefully it was just a gimmick and they are usually good but at this point this is what I expect from most El Paso Mexican restaurants, mediocrity.

    This restaurant looked promising on social media, but looks can be deceiving. The small street tacos are pretty cheap at $.95 or $1.25 each, depending on the meat. But they are swimming in grease. Be sure to ask for extra napkins. They were so-so. You can find better tacos elsewhere. The nachos con carne were much better. The chips were homemade, but a bit stale. The queso, salsa, carne were all delicious. Service was awful. We were sat promptly but then after that, it seemed we were forgotten about for some time. Then after some time, we were finally able to get our drink and food order in. Everyone there seemed uninterested in working, wandering around as if they were busy, yet doing nothing. It wasn't a busy night either, as there were maybe four table occupied with 3 waitresses working. A poor experience altogether. You're better off eating tacos.

    I used to love this place. I think the quality has went down hill. I'm battling a bad bout of food poisoning right now.

    Quesadilla
    Aaron R.

    This place is offers good food. I got to start with that before the three stars inside the orange squares make you think otherwise. The agua de mazapán is one that you can't miss and have to mix with your lunch. The size of that quesadilla is huge that it almost didn't make it to the image once I cropped it. Now let's get into why I gave it these not-so-flattering three stars. The service. Understaffed would be an understatement. Only three people for a restaurant that was full from wall to wall. Missing orders and long wait times to get your check is just something you can expect. I wouldn't discourage you from trying it yourself but I do give you the former warnings given here. Provecho!

    The one in the foil is their special. The other two I don't know I asked them to bring me stuff to try.  It was awesome
    Vaughn M.

    If you are new to the area or unfamiliar with street tacos this is the place to go. Amazing food, friendly and patient staff willing to explain and educate. The music and atmosphere was excellent. If you want great food and an authentic experience you need to come try this place will definitely put it on the hit list when I travel here.

    DON'T WALK - run to this place. I've had tacos in Mexico City (and anywhere else tacos are served) and my goodness these are amazing. From the presentation to the flavors, it's just delectable. My bf and I wanted yo try them all so we ordered one of each. I appreciate that Aaron said "part of the experience is the temperature of the food, so I'm bringing you the first 5 then I'll bring the next 5 so they don't get cold". I appreciate this like you have no idea, food temperature plays a huge roll on flavor, texture, etc. So Thank You Aaron! I can't say there's a bad taco on the menu. They are all savory and well seasoned. I love to dress my tacos but some of these I didn't dare because the flavor of the meat alone was more than enough. My absolute favorite are; tripitas ( cooked 3/4), buche and barbacoa. Although the lengua and asada was close. They have patio seating, they have a good amount of tables and bar seats. The owners (or so they seemed) are boots on the ground and very involved and it shows. I can't encourage you all enough to try this place, I would love to keep it a secret but I won't haha.

    So you want cheap tacos NOT on a Tuesday? Oh you want authentic tacos: greasy, delicious? With traditional meats like bistek, suadero, buche, pastor, longeniza ($0.95 each) and sirloin, lengua, barbacoa, tripa, chicharron ($1.25 each)? But you want to eat in AC without flies and listen to fun toe-tapping Mexican music? How about TV screens? 10+ screens? Where is this awesome place you ask? Off Sunland Park where the old Toro burger was. This spot has the legit same tasting tacos I got in Tijuana, eating by a taquero but without the flies or heat. In fact, they had Mark Wiens videos visiting awesome taquerias so that you can remember that feeling and you taste it in the greasy tacos, the chicharron taco slightly crunchy, but minced so fine you barely have to chew. The suadero is so flavorful, one could get away with just the meat and tortillas but the salsa flight is awesome and cute! I had to ask for onions and cilantro but they accommodated. The pastor was a bit chewy but really good. At these prices, you can afford to try all the meats! I got 4 suadero, 1 chicharron, and one pastor, and it was almost the same price as my kiddo's quesadilla. I saw a bunch of people ordering charro beans so that's on my to try list next. The service was so nice, but they had only one waitress, the bar had 2 people working there and no one seated there so I think they need to support the girl since the place is spacious and there were a lot of tables. It's a great addition to the area and I can see it being popular for families, date nights, and casual outings. I really liked the food and hope others check them out and #supportlocal La Taqueria Tradicional (915) 300-2555 1050 Sunland Park Dr Suite A-700, El Paso, TX 79922 https://maps.app.goo.gl/NsgC9TNk3r5qWKL98

    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!

I bumped it up to four stars for the super friendly service and the excellent aguas frescas. We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here.

Had multiple thousand Google reviews and they were all close to five stars. So I knew I had to check it out. It was super close to my hotel, so I popped in the car and found it without trouble. Trouble. Again, there is pretty limited parking so it's kind of hit and miss whether you'll find a spot or not. Fortunately, I did. When you walk up to the place, the building itself is pretty nondescript. They have a nice selection of outside seating, and your window to order is outside. Very nice lady at the counter gave me helpful suggestions and so I ordered three tacos and an amazing lime and cucumber fresca. Went in and sat down inside and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It definitely had more of an upscale bar vibe to it than a Taco shop. The waiter that brought out my tacos told me that it turns into more of a nightclub after hours. I may have to go check that out. The tacos themselves were absolutely off the chain! The tortillas were blue corn and everything on it tasted so fresh and so wonderful. The carnitas was fantastic, the brisket Taco was to die for and the blackened shrimp Taco was one of the best I've ever had. Had. The flavors were so balanced and on point, it was one of the most satisfying taco experiences I have had!! I will probably hit this place up a couple more times before I leave El Paso. If you are in El Paso, you probably already know about this place. But I'm telling you what you cannot go wrong for tacos and that lime/ cucumber fresca! Bottom line? It's about 10 hours drive from Las Vegas to El Paso. And this Taco shop will give me a great reason to do a road trip anytime. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out!
