Tacos and cheese enchiladas ugh makes me hungry again just looking at them!
Doc F.

I live in Denver but my mom and I come up to Scottsbluff twice a year when we visit my grandparents. I have made it a point to come here every single time because I just love the food so much. It never disappoints, granted I get the same things each time but it's so good! The deep fried tacos are sooo delicious and even the way they do cheese enchiladas are better than most I've ever had. Nice lady that works there came out and talked with us this recent time and really the staff is always great. :)

So my Nebraskan husband has been hyping this place up, as he and his family have been coming here throughout his childhood whenever visiting Western Nebraska. I didn't have high expectations but was ready to try it. Being from a bigger city, going to a place called 'Taco Town' just sounded way too kitschy for me. Not exactly a Chevys, there was definitely a 'hole in the wall' kind of feel as you entered and looked around. There was ample seating, booths and tall bar stool type of seating. You order your food at the front and wait for your number to be called. I let my husband order for me, seeing as he would know best. I ended up with a Combo Plate: beef taco, beef flauta, cheese quesadilla, beans, and pork chili sauce over rice. The taco was quite good: their shells are deep fried to a light, airy, fluffy, and crispy goodness. The meat was just mildly seasoned, so you do need to rely on additional hot sauce or the chili sauce to make it great. The beef flauta was good too, but fairly simple: it seemed like just a crunchy taco shell. The cheese quesadilla was delicious, definitely a cheesy guilty pleasure. Beans were good, rice I could have lived without (seemed overcooked and mushy). That pork chili sauce though, I probably could have enjoyed that by itself! Good pork and a light (more watery of a consistency) sauce base. I can see how this became a family mainstay, and I could definitely enjoy it again as a guilty pleasure treat!

Taco Town is a real Scottsbluff culinary experience. In fact, it arguably may be THE Scottsbluff culinary experience. I don't want to build it up too much, but if you're in Scottsbluff and looking for a place to grab lunch, this is probably one of your best bets... I'm not from the region (and as of writing this review, I've only been there once), but my fiancee and her family are from the region, and make it a point to stop by when they're in town. I can understand why. Taco Town is a defining quintessential example of Western Nebraska Mexican food. Again, there are many similar restaurants that are of this cuisine in the area with very similar food (but with slight differences), but Taco Town is certainly one of the best. This is the kind of place that the locals will go. As for food recommendations, I recommend the cheese enchiladas, which are delicious. They are made with flour tortillas that seem to be flash fried somehow for a good texture. Above all else, I'd really recommend the tacos--the tacos are very good, and go very well with the hot sauce that is provided at Taco Town. Being from Texas, the tacos reminded me a little of a puffy taco in San Antonio, with the fried shell. (It's more crispy than a puffy taco, though). If you like Taco Town, Taco De Oro (which is practically across the street) is also very similar. I'd check out both establishments and decide what you like better. As for this yelp reviewer, I'd give Taco Town a slight edge over Taco De Oro.

My husband forces me to eat here everytime we come to NE and I'm glad he does. The cheese enchiladas and fluffy rice are delicious, but my favorite food is the fried taco!

Loved the tacos. The pork chili sauce was killer! Can't believe a tiny packet with less then 20cents they charge 54 cents.

El Charrito Restaurant and Lounge - Cheese enchiladas smothered in pork chili!

This is my favorite Mexican. Hands down. The homemade tortillas are fantastic. But my entire…read morefamily's favorite are the enchiladas smothered in pork chili. It's spicy, but so stinking good! Every time we're in Western Nebraska we eat here and get a bag to go! (My photo is that which we brought home) So why four stars instead of five? The atmosphere. It's in a Quonset and there is really no atmosphere at all. It's a bar. And the bathrooms are a little sketchy. If atmosphere isn't a deal breaker, you'll want to try this place.

I was really disappointed with my experience here. The ordering process was fine--you order at the…read morecounter, get your own drinks, and the food is brought to your table--but the food handling and service were concerning. The employee who brought our food had been washing dishes. When our order was ready, he pulled his hands straight out of the dirty dishwater, didn't dry them or wash them first, and immediately picked up our plates to bring them to our table. That was very unsanitary and made us uncomfortable. On top of that, he didn't greet us when he dropped off the food, and after we thanked him, he didn't even acknowledge us or say "you're welcome." I also noticed the cooks in the kitchen preparing food without wearing gloves the entire time we were there. While gloves aren't always legally required if proper handwashing is followed, after seeing how our food was handled, it definitely didn't inspire confidence in the restaurant's hygiene practices. Unfortunately, because of the cleanliness concerns and poor customer service, I don't plan on returning Don't get me wrong the food was good but sure did lose my appetite after watching all this.

Great food and service! Also reasonable prices with exceptional staff! Also the facility is kept…read morevery clean and organized.

I cannot believe how packed this restaurant was for a Thursday evening. We had a party of seven…read morewith a reservation. When the table was ready "your table is ready but it's really tight. Would you be okay with that"? After flying to Colorado and then driving three hours to get to Nebraska, that didn't seem appealing. Well, everyone was hungry so we took it. The table was awful to sit at. I had to sit on the corner of the table and so did someone else in our party. Bean dip and chips were on the table. That bean dip was so good. The salsas were great as well. If you want more chips and bean dip, they do charge you for it. Just a heads up. I ordered the chicken tacos - not great. No flavor at all. The tacos were a nice size. But I really couldn't eat them unless I added a ton of salsa. My husband ordered the fish tacos and didn't eat his said "these are the plainest fish tacos I have ever eaten. I just can't make them taste good no matter what I do" People seem to love this place. The waitress was GREAT! She was so on top of us, had a great disposition and smile. She was the only blonde working the room. I can't remember her name. It was insanely loud in the back room. If I lived here, this would not be a destination for me.
