Edit: this review is for Chelo's, not Old Danny's Cocina. I didn't know the name of the restaurant had changed until this past weekend. I've gotten tacos from here on a few occasions. I heard good things about their carne guisada so that's what I normally order and have been pleased with the tacos in the past visits. Then not long ago I had ordered tacos to go along with a small lemonade. When I got home I had opened the tortilla to pour salsa on my carne guisada tacos and could not help but notice how pink some of the meat looked. I picked them out of the tacos and threw them in the trash. Before I did that I took a picture of the undercooked meat and showed it to a friend of mine and she even said it looked gross. I'm already aware of ecoli bacteria poisoning as a result of consuming undercooked and pink meat. This is an unforgivable offense. read more

We used to drive an hour for the tacos here. This is the second bad visit. The first time, we ordered via their google website, and then arrived to a closed store. They said the website had nothing to do with them. A month later- the website is still connected to their Google listing. Today we got tacos and chilaquiles and were totally disappointed. Soggy, tastes sad. Big regret on even eating this. Will go to Roys next time. read more

If you want some fresh, old school homemade breakfast, Tex-mex food...this is the bomb.com. Everything taste so fresh so if you're in a big hurry, then go to a fast food facility. But if you want bomb ass fresh Mexican food, this is the place to go. Everything is homemade so sometimes it can take a little bit, but it's worth every minute. Get the green salsa that stuff is has FLAVOR. read more

Worse tacos ever !!!! I didn't want to wait in line to get roys tacos I should've waited. Ordered my tacos got home to see the tortillas are packaged oh hell no. Tortillas weren't even heated up all the way still rubbery just nasty !!! I called to see why they didn't have homemade tortillas any more cause they did before. "The manger in charge " said with every thing going on they stop in other words it was like o well no one has complaint. I will call Monday to speak to Danny worse tacos ever if that the case they need to cut the prices. Not even Pic Nic gives you package tortillas. $22 down the drain. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend. Well my friend is on to something amazing. The tortillas are the star. Homemade, soft and Large. The carne guisada co-stars. Meat is tender and gravy is just right. The chilaquiles done right, the chips stayed crispy throughout the time it took me to eat a good amount of the carne, before adding the chilaquiles to the large taco. Mixing both together just felt so right and tasted so good. The tortilla held up too. read more

It's name begged me to go in as I drove by: "Old Danny's Cocina". Huh?!? I walked in and had to snake around a mariachi. Not a mariachi band. A mariachi guitar playing independent contractor who was earning some dough entertaining the lunch crowd. Feeling the outsider, I slinked into the corner booth. Chips and salsa were promptly served. "Una bebida?" "Una coca, por favor." This was a neighborhood joint that didn't stand on ceremony. In the adjacent booth, of the one two less-than-gracefully aging Latina motorcycle mamas turned to me. "My sister, she wants to sit with you." They laughed like hoarse schoolgirls. "OK, but you might start to get jealous of her", I playfully responded and they hooted and giggled. My Coke came, my order was placed, I flirted sporadically with the tatooed Leather Skin Twins and the mariachi made the rounds for some propinas. After he left, the place was not nearly as lively. My tacos were very good - and freaking huge. The carne guisada was quite tender, and the tortillas were fresh. I don't know if they were made at Old Danny's or what, but they were less than a few hours old. I'd go back even if the food and atmosphere weren't as good as they were. I still have questions. Who is Old Danny? Is there a Young Danny? Does he have a Cocina, too? read more

When I want tacos too big to eat without a fork and knife I go either to Rolando's Super Tacos or Old Danny's. If you're hungry enough to eat a passenger jet you can't go wrong with either place. However, both also have regular size tacos not requiring you to wear super-elastic pants. read more

Soooo randomly stopped on recommendation of a friend who lives in the area!!! So good! I'll be traveling in from the med center on the regular! Great tacos, still need to try the plates! read more

Haven't been here in awhile...it was a joke. Eggs tasted like entirely too much water had been incorporated before cooking...and all of our tasted like it had all been cooked in the same pan... read more

The food was great.... The hostess had attitude then tried to get loud with me. When me and my family got there she told us they didnt have fountian drinks didnt say nothing about not having water read more

Been coming here for years despite the taco place RIGHT next door. This is our "MUST do stop" for breakfast, the regular sized tacos are STUFFED and very reasonable depending on your choice of taco. If you're super hungry, get the large, but they ARE HUGE! Lol read more

I am extremely disappointed. Havent been here in a while so thought me and my boyfriend would eat here, since I remember there food being homemade and great tasting. Um....not this time. We ordered large tacos and the tortillas werent homemade like they use to be they were packaged tortillas, tasting like rubber. The barbacoa tasted like it was frozen out of a package. Needless to say I will not be coming here again. read more

Wow! Delicious. Great prices. Be warned, the large tacos are HUGE, I'm a big guy, and one filled me up. Carne Guisada was amazing, no fat, just meat and tasted great! read more

Craving homemade tortillas and delicious chilaquiles?!?!?! Hit the spot just as good as abuelitas food!!! Craving chilaquiles and menudo!!!!!! Hit the spot just like my abuelita use to make!!!!!

I love coming here for breakfast. The breakfast tacos are delicious and the super tacos are as good as they are huge! I had the crispy taco lunch plate and the portions were large and they were yummy. The staff is always polite and helpful here. Enjoy coming back read more

First time here. My wife said it was good and she has been going for years. She was right, it was delicious. Some of the best puffy tacos I've ever had actually. The rice was a bit on the cold side but the taste was there. 10 Tables with customers and only one waitress... It was kind of annoying because I could here the waitress complaining to some of her customers. You just don't do that.. at least I wouldn't. But I understood that she could have used some help. Overall, good food. Will be back for more tacos. read more

I enjoy coming in and having the super tacos! They are massive and delicious. They scored a 95 on there last inspection and the staff is always nice. I have not experienced the lunch plates yet but the breakfast here is really good! They have been on point every time I've visited and will be back read more

Put in a pick up order through door dash. Went through the drive thru to pick it up and the owner was super rude to me when he suggested I go park and go inside to pick up the order. I told him I had three toddlers in car seats and that I would not be able to. He then said to just park in the front and he would take my order to me. Ten minutes later, I still hadn't received my food. So I went back through the drive thru and a girl came out saying the same thing. I told her it had already been over ten minutes and that I wasn't gonna go park for another minute. My order was 5 tacos! No custom orders just plain tacos. She asked if I wanted to speak to a manager and knowing it was the old man, I said yes. He proceeded to give me my order saying that my quesadilla was what took so long and for me to never go back again! I check my bag and only three tacos were in there. Worst customer service ever! read more

As a local to the area, I have been eating at this great cocina for many years. It has almost become a tradition in our family to have breakfast or lunch or both on Sunday. The menue has a wide variety of Mexican/ Tex-mex meals that will have everyone pleased. The prices are very decent and you will get what you pay for if not then more. The atmosphere and the waitresses are very pleasent. The food is always made fresh and comes to your table or car window in timely manner. The one thing that I will always love about this place is the "grande" size tacos which are very filling. Breakfast is served all day for all those folks who sleep in and wake up to wanting breakfast. If your in the area and are in for some great Mexican/ Tex-mex food, I recomemd stopping buy and having a "grande" size taco. read more
