Nice place. You order outside and based on your party size they tell you where to sit. We came two days running. First time the food quality was better than the second. Felt the second day they were busier and a little rush and consistency and quality lacked, my tacos were more slapped together than handled with care. The baja shrimp, baja fish and brisket were my favourite ones - I'm a sucker for baja. The chicken and pork were good as well. Get the corn on the cob, the corn in a cup was greasy and not good. Tried to get Tres Leches but were sold out. Margaritas were good and Agua Fresca were refreshing especially with the El Paso dry heat.
The line was long to order, but I appreciated that tables were reserved until you placed your order. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient. The decor was super cute and I enjoyed the vibes! The food was fresh and flavorful. I loved the blue corn tortillas and chicken tacos, but everything was tasty! I'll be back!
This place was great! Nice ambience with indoor and outdoor seating. I think everything was pretty reasonably priced, but coming from Austin that's probably not saying much lol. Service was super friendly and very attentive. Seasonal boozy slush: 10/10 The seasonal flavor was guava and it was delicious! I only had one and was already a bit tipsy after. Suadero: 8/10 The meat was a little dry but very flavorful. There was a lot of meat and a hefty amount of guacamole too. Shrimp taco: 10/10 Very flavorful and refreshing! Green beans: 100/10 I loved these so much, still thinking about them. Perfect snack and the green beans were crispy. I also loved the sauce that came with it, and the portion was huge!
Friendly service. I don't think I understand the order window and then they tell you what table to sit at if you want to dine in. I went off other reviews to know about the order window, but there is clear signage on the door also instructing people to go order at the window. Food came out pretty quickly. My only critique is that the tortillas are thin and if you get a taco that's saucy, your tortilla will not hold up. It would be nice to have two tortillas for sturdiness, or maybe sauces on the side for people to add them when they are ready to eat. My food was good, I did not have a bad experience. Parking has days and times for certain spots, hopefully you find a spot there because street parking doesn't seem to be too much of an option unless you'd like to walk!
Located in an old section of downtown El Paso. Modern building with an open warehouse style design. Parking is limited adjacent to Taconeta but street parking abounds. Order is place through a window outside. Then you proceed inside to pick your table & to wait on your order. It gets busy during the lunch rush. Food is a contemporary innovation of traditional Mexican tacos. Their tortillas are made in-house & adds to the freshness & flavors of the tacos.
Cute little restaurant where you order at the window, get a number, then seat yourself. The line went by really fast, but I didn't realize that picking up was the same window as ordering. Since I ordered online, it felt a little bad to wait in line to get my food... considering the reason I ordered online was to skip the overall line wait. It has a parking lot as well which is a perk if you're an anxious driver who doesn't like street parking. The lot seems like it gets full though; I got lucky that there was a spot available for me. The tacos are just okay. The carnitas and suadero tacos are REALLY salty. Like, almost inedible. I didn't realize the carnitas taco came with just whole carrot slices lol. I would not order either of these again. The Baja shrimp and Baja fish tacos are the better ones. The fish is decent; not super deep fried which is nice. The shrimp I think is the best, but I am marking this restaurant as 2 stars because I found a strand of hair inside my shrimp taco. I grappled with myself for 30min. If I wanted to still eat it. For $5, I sadly did. The elote is really salty as well. I don't eat elote though so not sure if it's supposed to be this way? I would order the seafood tacos again. But I do not think I will come back considering the unhygienic kitchen practices.
Dry meats and over priced tacos. I ate here at 11:45am so there shouldn't be any excuse about the freshness. I got the suadero, carnitas, and pollo tacos. Also got the Jamaica juice which was also mid at best, tasted watered down. This place is definitely your typical hipster joint that can get away with selling mediocre tacos at a high price. It's a shame people do not know any better so that the restaurant can get away with it.
Taconeta El Paso is a true gem for taco lovers! You have to try their "Baja Fish taco -- with divine crispy tempura cod nestled with fresh cabbage and topped with a chili mayo that melts in your mouth like a spicy cloud of happiness. My wife's eyes light up every time she bites into the Baja Shrimp -- it's pure love and joy on your plate! And don't miss their advocado tostadas -- creamy guacamole topped with crunchy pumpkin seeds, a perfect combo of textures and flavors that keeps you coming back for more. The service here is always friendly and efficient. Taconeta always delivers great value and it is why it has become a culinary destination in El Paso. This place is a fiesta of flavors and good vibes. Mucho gusto indeed!
Awesome tacos. Recommended to me by a local, I'm glad I stopped by. I ordered three tacos - Baja shrimp, carnitas, and suadero. The Baja shrimp taco is one of the best I've ever had. Hot and fresh, plump shrimp, zesty flavors. The carnitas were delicious and the chicharon added a nice crunch. The suadero was good, but the brisket was warm, not hot. This took away from a total enjoyment of the meal, but not enough to say the taco want good. It was. Overall, this is a gem in a beautiful food city!
Came here after co-workers recommend it. It did not disappoint. I ate some of the best tacos of my life here. Everything from the protein, the guacamole, and the tortillas were nearly flawless. They gave me a ton of protein in my taco too. The service was great and it's a cool place too. There was a line to just get in on a Thursday. If you're in El Paso, you must try Taconeta. Their bar seems well stocked too!
Okay, I do not say this lightly. But I may just have had the best tacos I've ever had in my life! I was looking around for a taco place in El Paso and this one popped up. 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! read more
There's a walk up window you order from and receive a number to place on the table when you find an open seat. I love the different beers they offer here. The tables have some homemade sauces you can use in your tacos. I might be a little underwhelmed by the tacos here. They were just okay to me, nothing too special. Some aspects were definitely good, eg the tortillas were decent and seemed freshly made. read more
Not cheap as expected, but some of the most flavorful delicious tacos I've ever tasted. We started with the elote (corn on the cob) then had a grilled shrimp, grilled fish, and pollo(chicken) taco at the bar with a blue corn larger. The blue corn tortillas were amazing - I noticed they were 1/2 blue, 1/2 white but still delicious. Eating at the bar worked out well - the bartender helped us order and the tacos came out fast. read more

I enjoyed Taconeta! Tacos are made fresh to order and they're delicious! It was my first time in El Paso. I hadn't tried Elote before. It was delicious. The service is quick and the inside is clean and cozy. If you're in the mood for authentic tacos - check out Taconeta! read more

I ordered take out at the walk-up window. First time here, the cashier answered all questions thoroughly about items I asked about and helped me narrow down what I wanted. I love that they have vegan friendly items. read more

We came here with our dogs and we sat outside. The lady at the counter was super nice and recommended their brisket, pollo, carnitas, and Baja shrimp. All tasted amazing. We also ordered a house margarita and horchata as well and both tasted great. The tres leches was the best way to end our dining. It was flavorful and sweet. Overall a great place! The servers always came to check on us and gave our dogs water which was very sweet of them. read more

Came here before winter fest Saturday night, line was a little long to order, but once we ordered and sat down our food came quickly! Everything tasted really fresh and was super pretty, I really liked the camdt. We also got a cucumber lemonade, and a margarita which was really strong. Overall good experience, we did have to sit outside and it was really cold, they did not have heaters but the walls kinda blocked the wind. Music was pumping too! Great little spot! read more
Too good. I'm annoyed that I don't live in El Paso. Order at the window, and as soon as you get to your table, the food arrives. Probably some of the best carnitas tacos I've had. Esquites were also really good. Aguachile was quite bland though - lacked acid and heat. But still a solid taco spot! read more

Taconeta never disappoints. I took a friend who had never been, and we indulged a little bit. She tried the avocado tostada, which was loaded with avocado. The sweet potato is my favorite thing on the menu, and the elote is so good (and I'm an elote snob). I'm not a tres leches fan, but my friend ordered it. First- it's HUGE. Second- half the container is full of milk. Third- for someone who doesn't like tres leches, I will tell you it's delicious. Service is always great, they're quick and friendly. Vibe is always on point. If you've never been- what are you waiting for?! read more
Just get three of the carnitas tacos. I tried a variety, but that carnitas taco was so darn good I wished I had the stomach space for two more. The tres leches cake was good too, and I didn't try it, but people around me were raving about the grilled sweet potato. read more
In El Paso for business and someone recommended this place to a friend went there for a late night dinner. I ordered the vegan mushroom taco and the Suadero taco along with the crispy green beans and the camote . The other people in my party ordered a chicken taco, carnitas, shrimp and a teofilo. We were not disappointed. Food was amazing. Service was great if you're in El Paso give this a try. read more
Very popular taco spot! As soon as a finished ordering the line to order at the window started piling up ---shrimp TEOFILO: nice crispy cheese layer ---baja fish taco: I liked the combination of sauces but the batter of the fish could have been crispier ---cameta: yummy sweet potato, nice flavors but definitely share as it's a lot of sweet potato for one person NOTE: Order before you're seated read more

Went for dinner while in the area! Was recommended by many as one of the best. The line was extremely long and we waited about 30 minutes to order. They do have a very efficient system to get your food out and get your seated once you have ordered. We say outdoors which was a fun vibe and the bar area looked like it was an experience for a Friday night. The food was okay, I didn't necessarily find it to be the best over but definitely okay. I would visit again if in the area. read more
I fell in love with Taconeta. The food, the service, the decor, the vibe, everything was amazing. After arriving in Fort Worth, I found this spot on Yelp. I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant at first because one person said it wasn't worth the wait. But the good reviews totally won me over, and I'm so happy we decided to go. It had started to rain lightly when we got there, but the line moved quickly, and honestly, I could see why people wait. It's definitely worth it. The process is super easy. You get in line, check out the menu on the board or grab a physical one, place your order, and then they seat you. If you want more food, the servers walking around are so friendly and attentive, they'll happily take your order. I tried the suadero, carnitas, and mushroom tacos, and wow, they were all delicious. If I had to choose favorites, the mushroom and carnitas tacos were the winners for me. The elote in a cup was okay, the corn was a little starchy and not as sweet as I like, but the corn on the cob was amazing. Even the music was great. I just wanted to dance and eat tacos all night. If I'm ever in El Paso again, I'm coming back for sure. read more

Amazing taco spot in downtown El Paso with an elevated twist--tempura-fried mushroom tacos, pollo, asada, fish, and shrimp. The fried green beans are a must, and the agua frescas are refreshing. Super filling and incredibly flavorful. read more

Excellent tacos. I understand the hype. Tortillas were fresh. I will post pics of everything we had. I don't remember the names. Order at the counter and get seated right after. Parking is next door but can get scarce. Everyone was friendly and helpful. read more

A cool vibey spot to drop in get some amazing tacos. Parking is a beast, but there's some pay for lots across the street a bit down. There's a line around the corner of the building to order your food. At the counter, the staff will take your order and then find you a table to sit down at. They'll tell you the table number to find. The tacos are fantastic!!! Come hungry! read more
Exceptional tacos and agua frescas! There was a line around the building when we arrived on a Friday night (for good reason), and you order at the window before sitting inside or outside. Casual vibes, and each individual food item came out as it was ready. I was blown away by the perfect seasoning on everything- all the meats, the sauces, and the handmade tortillas. The Baja shrimp and carnitas tacos were so tasty! I also loved the hibiscus agua fresca, and my husband's horchata was the best I've ever tried. Would absolutely recommend- it's very much worth the wait! read more

Excellent menu, so many good flavors. Wish I could go back for the green beans. We ordered the steak taco, fish taco, carnitas taco, green beans, elote and sweet potatoes and would order everything again, except for the hibiscus flower taco. A little too tart but so fun to try. Excellent service, quick turnaround for weekend lunch, dog friendly outdoor seating, fun decor throughout. We stopped on a road trip for lunch and I would go back to El Paso just to come here again. read more
