    Quesabirria tacos
    Nathan H.

    Delicious Quesabirria tacos. A little wetter than typical so very messy, but oh so flavorful. I chose flour tortillas. They were grilled nicely, but due to the very moist meat, the shells began to fall apart. The restaurant was as little warm, maybe to be expected when it's 105 degrees outside. Food was delicious, and I'd go back, especially if I was nearby, but I've had better. Service was great. Total for 4 tacos, drink, and 20% tip was $21, not too bad.

    As we were driving from Vegas back to Houston we needed to charge the Tesla and eat dinner. I believe this place closed 30 minutes after we arrived and I dislike being that person that comes even an hour before closing but my @$$ needed to eat some Birria Queso Tacos! We were immediately greeted with a smile and a welcome! I really wish I could remember the names of the host, server AND all of the other employees. The ambience was amazing! Definitely fit the atmosphere and vibe of the establishment. 2 dollar Estrella Jalisco cervezas with the food menu they have here?! Yes please! After we were greeted we were sat at a table by the server. We ordered the Birria Queso tacos, Carne Asada tacos, Al Pastor tacos, cerveza, and a classic margarita. EVERYTHING was fresh and delicious! I tore that Birria Queso tacos up in a heartbeat! The salsa and topping selections were abundant, fresh and flavorful. This will forever be one of our stops when we travel through El Paso! Thank you everyone at this restaurant! We will be back soon!

    I went on a Tuesday afternoon to try out the location that had been vacated by Chase the Taste West. I went to support them in their endeavors since they have several trucks at the Farmer's Market and I wished their actual physical location well. I try to be honest with my reviews and I'm sad to report that it was a really disappointing experience. They are super overpriced even for Taco Tuesday. Their deal is to just double the tacos from 4 to 8 tacos for $12 which comes out to be around $1.50 a taco. They only allow 2 meats excluding the birria tacos. I got asada and carnitas tacos. The meat was extremely gristly and chewy. It wasn't seasoned and I can see why they offer such an extensive salsa bar, it's to cover up the blandness of the actual tacos. They didn't even bother to cut up the avocado. The carnitas came with chunks of real grilled pineapples which are great, if the eyes had been cut out. Because they weren't cut correctly, I had to fish them out of the tacos and throw them away, alongside half of their mystery meat since the gristle and hard chunks of cartilage made it almost inedible. I ended up having to throw away 3 tacos and I never throw away food. The horchata was mostly ice and whipped cream, for their price, the agua fresca is a rip off. The service wasn't any better, the cooks were arguing in the back, the servers were just on their phones and the only customers there were friends or family. I love supporting local and wanted to give them a fair shot, but this experience was extremely overpriced and kinda disgusting food. With so many other great options around for Taco Tuesday, I don't think I'll be back. We ended up going to Pho & Rolls down the street to get decent food since we were still hungry. :( Taqueria Ay Cocula 5004 Desert Blvd N, El Paso, TX 79912 (915) 500-1672 https://maps.app.goo.gl/us9PMErDM3zZejsz8 Full review with pictures here: https://www.todoelpaso.com/2022/02/07/ay-yay-yay-cocula/

    Tripita and asada tacos

    Tacos are good, came here many times In promo days and regular days, ; supported this business because is close to my house, and I love tacos , I am not picky so everything taste good for me , but they do not honor all you can eat they will ignore you until you leave Asada tacos 10/10 Tripita tacos 10/10 Buche tacos 8/10 Barbacoa 3/10 not real flavor and greasy to much condiment kind of disgusting Quesabirria 9/10 good birria tacos with cheese :) but very disappointed with the ALL YOU CAN IT promo on Wed , they tell you to order In 2 tacos increments (they are tiny), but they delay more and more every time you order, It happen many times in previous visits , but last time was the very last , they ignored us when new customers walked in , and put their orders in front , after 27 min waiting for two more tacos my wife and I decided to leave with mixed feelings , maybe if you pay the regular price they give you a better service, not sure Sometimes they let the tacos get cold in the kitchen window waiting for the server to bring to us , Was or last time after two and a half months of 4 days a week tacos here

I bumped it up to four stars for the super friendly service and the excellent aguas frescas. We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here. What you get is a good amount of decent food at a good price served by great people.

As I've explained to many of the locals there's a huge difference between New Mexico and Mexican food. I figured while I was in town visiting family for the holidays I'd check it out. Walking in I was surprised to see a full salsa bar that you can help yourself to a wide variety of salsas to choose from. We ordered a quesadilla, and some tacos. I started with the quesadilla. Boy do I love a good quesadilla! It was a love at first bite! The cheese was just oh so right. It was heaven between two tortillas. I quickly moved in on the tacos. I added some of the cilantro, green salsa, lime, and onions. The salsa was a little spicy but I savored every bite! It was a quite a delight! I gotta hand it to these guys, they make some great food! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

    Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle. It's got heat as it's also creamy...I would call it medium (I like spicy food.) If you're getting them to go, you might want the sauce and toppings on the side. They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

    Stopped at El Taquito for breakfast during our move from WA to TX, and it was such a great choice…read more The staff was incredibly friendly, and the whole place had that warm, local-favorite vibe. We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!
