This used to be my favorite since I arrived in this area of five years ago. It had a tacky fun…read moreatmosphere just something cute about it that I loved and the food was incredible. You definitely did not leave hungry usually you left with a doggy bag. The last time I was there, it was still pretty good pretty much on par with what I was familiar with. Tonight, spur of the moment we decided to go there for dinner. It's been a while because I have not been well. We walked in. We seated right away. It was pretty empty. I noticed they made a few changes. I'm not sure why because it was lacking the fun personality. It used to have even if it was tacky like I said it was cute. Just something about it. It appears that they have removed a lot of seating. Maybe they're just not doing the business. The staff was personable although I had an issue with something with them. I was really disappointed and insulted although it sounds petty I just don't understand why it was going on. They kept coming over waiting on my dinner partner, constantly filling his glass of water asking if you wanted anything each time they did this, they had their back to me and never turned around to me to offer a refill in my glass I mean I was completely ignored like I wasn't there not once did they ask me if I needed anything? When we first sat down of course they ask if you want something to drink, and we weren't ready except for a glass of water. They brought the usual basket of chips, but this time we had a partial basket of what looked like the bottom of a bag of chips all crumbled nothing to really dip into the dip. They were so puny. The last time and all the other time I had ever been there you had a basket overflowing with large warm chips you swore just came out of the oven. Two partially fill bowls, one of salsa, one of cheese that look like they came out of a grocery store. It was pathetic. No side plates to put silverware, and you only got a fork wrapped in a single paper napkin. Now this wasn't lunch this was for dinner service Dinner came again such puny portions come on refried beans are not that expensive. I got a small puddle of those. My burrito was OK actually, it tasted great. I have no problem with the way. The food tasted. It was just the cheap way. They did everything. The avocado was probably a teaspoon worth with lettuce mixed in with it. I guess to make it look like more than it was and a spoonful of sour cream. It looked so cheap. There were big spaces between each type of food no rice and even when they served the tortillas I don't know if there was one or two rolled up in a small napkin no basket the way they used to steam them. Does steaming them cost a lot of money. I understand. Businesses are having a hard time but if you have to do this, maybe you shouldn't be doing it at all because it's not like your prices are cheap. I don't know what's going on in there but it's not good. I don't think I'm gonna be going back anymore. I would just as soon pick up some frozen Mexican or make it. I almost felt like we got leftovers turned into things like my burrito. It used to be shredded and have salsa and everything in it inside the burrito tonight. It was like they just stuffed partially cut up chicken breast not much flavor. I am so disappointed. It's funny how you can like and not like the same place I just don't like the way they served what they did. I didn't like being treated rudely although we had some kind smiling stuff also but the way I was treated three different times just trying to get water was horrible. Finally, my dinner partner tapped her on the arm and pointed at my glass. They were lucky I wasn't paying or tipping. There's plenty of Mexican restaurants. I would suggest you go elsewhere unless this place either gets new management or does something I was in the hospitality business. I know how it goes. I know it can be hard, but I also know the things you don't do and they were all done tonight all the wrong things. I would be embarrassed to serve plates that looked like these tonight and even setting the table wasn't really set. I have had a fancier picnic table. It was like serving us with an afterthought. Sorry if we were bothering you there we had one server she was a doll. Sadly, someone like her is gonna suffer because of what I saw tonight. Even the plate and bowls look like the cheap 50 Cent ones you buy at Walmart now what did they do with all their good stuff they used to have setting a table is not hard even a simple paper place mat and they had nothing.

Margaritas and chips could use some improvement, however, if you're trying to have a quiet Mexican food lunch/dinner away from all the Livingston hustle and bustle, this is your place. Service is usually pretty standard and not disappointing, that is a plus. 3 stars because the margaritas are weak (to the point, the last few times here, we didn't order drinks) and the chips are too thick and too hard.

As I entered, the air was thick with the aroma of charred meat and fleeting dreams. The tacos, though small, held the weight of centuries, each bite a delicate balance between pleasure and existential dread. The servers moved with a kind of determined indifference, as though they too understood that we are all but dust in the winds of fate. They brought me my enchiladas without a word, for what could words do in the face of the inevitable? In conclusion, El Taquito reminds us that while the food nourishes our bodies, it leaves our souls untouched--yearning for meaning in a universe that provides none. I recommend the carnitas. Decent Margaritas too

But this place is seriously so delicious. I had the pleasure of having the entire restaurant to myself it was nice and cool, good in escaping that Texas heat. I ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, potatoes, onions, cheese and refried beans. The plate came out with a little bed of lettuce, a tomato slice, and a slice of avocado. I am usually super picky about my veggies as restaurants but again, wow, the flavor of my burrito, the salsa, and the fresh avocado and tomato to die for. My boyfriend and I are new to the area and I can't wait to show him this place we will be regulars. Delicious. Authentic. Hidden Gem with a wonderful waitstaff.

I will let you know this:…read more This place, for most people, will be 5 stars. Did they do anything wrong? Nope. Did they take too long with the order? Nope. Was the staff unfriendly? Not even a little bit. Really nice people that explain specials, most ordered items, and everything in between. Was the taste of the food bad? No. Granted, I only ordered 20 tacos in three different flavors. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of the diced pineapples on my one set of tacos. Did the weather affect your experience because this is a food truck? Not at all. They even have the weather aspect together. They provide nice shading while you order and wait for your food. What could warrant only giving them 4 stars? A variety of reasons. The first being that they have so many things to choose from, and I've only eaten one thing from the massive menu. When I order more, I can adjust my rating accordingly. Also, my frugal meter hates paying the prices I pay for Mexican food! That's a strictly "me" issue that has no bearing on this establishment. I feel as though Mexican food, generally speaking, should be way cheaper than priced now and days. That's because some ripoff Mexican fast food giant used to feed me 10 tacos for under $5! Once again, this place will be 5 stars for many people. I'm looking forward to trying many things they offer. They even mentioned "keto" on their menu. They seem to really have a flare for "birria," so I'm also looking forward to trying that. You can call in your order if you are in a rush. Stop by and try this place out. I'm certain you will enjoy them.
