    We go here pretty often, they have great taco specials on Monday and Thursday. Their tamales are delicious, love the jalapeño ones! They do have some language barriers at times and have messed up orders. They stay busy on nights they run specials and it's recommended to go early. Sitting can get limited and they do try to correct errors if made. Service is always nice.

    14$ burrito

    14$ for one steak burrito. No drink, sides, just the burrito. This better be the best burrito I have ever had. The restaurant I Love Tacos had 8$ steak burrito that's bigger but is to far from work.

    chips and salsa (small)

    wow this place was very delicious! it is a step up from their other location which is a rather small taco stand. they have many tables and seating in here, both booths and chairs. very heavy solid wood furniture, finely finished. they have a bright blue atmosphere with many decorations, it is very spacious. the service was very good and accurate. our waitress was quite nice. we paid up at the front after the meal. but back to the food, it was amazing. i loved the pollo con queso (chicken with cheese), it was so flavorful and perfectly done. the mexican rice was very tasty as well. we ordered chips and salsa and it was definitely worth it, very good flavor and texture of salsa. the chips were thick, and also good. the tortillas that came with my meal were also very nice. would highly recommend, what a gem!

    Popped in here for dinner on a Tuesday and had one of the best meals I've had in years! The menu is very diverse with lots of different options. We had several different types of tacos along with their guacamole which is fantastic . The staff were friendly and helpful.

    Sopes, burrito and rice

    Amazing prices, great drink specials, friendly staff and authentic food. We liked the north side Tacos el Gordo, but this one is an even better and more convenient location to the south side of town. Our favorite items are the sopes, the burritos and tacos. The spicy red sauce is great with everything!

    I'm in love with this place, my favorite taco spot in Springfield! My husband and I ran into a few weeks where we didn't go and I was so sad. Next time we got to go I almost cried on the tacos they are so delicious!!! I want to try their Tuesday empanadas deal but so far their Monday and Thursday dollar tacos are the best thing to ever happen. Tacos come out fast too

    The fish tacos here are incredible. Tip: Don't forget to add some sweet and spicy sauce from the salsa bar!

My husband is a bit of a Simon Cowell when it comes to Mexican food and I knew I could not afford to screw this up . When we had a visitor come from a foreign land I knew this was the perfect occasion to put my research skills to good use and pray for the best. The parking lot intimidated me a bit at first, but everything after parking was a total home run. My husband was loving his Molay enchiladas and my kids were happy with their street tacos. The infamous out-of-town guest was impressed and satisfied as well, which is a rare treat. I really love when yelp makes me look good thank you yelp for coming through yet again.
