Pleasantly Surprised! A Hidden Gem for Taco Lovers
We'll admit it--we were a little skeptical about trying Señor Taco Express. The name didn't exactly scream "authentic," but we're always up for a taco adventure, so we gave it a shot. And let's just say... we're so glad we did!
We visited on a Tuesday (perfect timing for Taco Tuesday!), where they offer mini street tacos for just $1.99 each. But don't let the word mini fool you--these are full-sized, flavor-packed tacos, and we're pretty sure the tortillas are made in-house. We tried the Carne Asada, Carnitas, and El Pastor (skipping the Chicken this time), and while they were all tasty, the Carnitas was the clear winner. The Carne Asada was a close second, while the El Pastor, though flavorful, had a bit of gristle.
We also ordered the Nachos with Carne Asada, and wow--these did not disappoint! A perfect balance of crispy chips, melty cheese, and well-seasoned meat. One thing to note: unlike some Mexican restaurants, Señor Taco Express doesn't offer complimentary chips, but they make up for it with an impressive salsa bar. We tried several, ranging from mild to bring-a-tissue spicy, and each one was packed with fresh flavors.
Service That Stands Out... Since this was our first visit, we had a few questions about the menu, and the staff behind the counter couldn't have been more helpful. They were patient, informative, and happy to explain the different taco options and salsa choices. It's always a great sign when employees are knowledgeable and genuinely seem to care about the customer experience.
Cleanliness Gets an A+
We chose to dine in, and not only was the dining area super clean, but the bathrooms were pristine (which is always a major plus in our book!). You can tell they take pride in maintaining a welcoming and hygienic space, which only added to our positive experience.
Long story short--we may have just found our new go-to Mexican spot. If you're in the mood for great tacos, fresh salsas, and a clean, welcoming space with great service, Señor Taco Express is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back for sure!
